unless you be a nurse or a doctor I do not really recommend this light . it look nice , and the pocket clip make it perfect to clip to you coat , but the beam be extremely weak . I would only recommend this beam for pupil reactivity in the medical field . pro : - shockproof - battery include -lrb- 2aaa -rrb- - spare bulb in tailcap - Lanyard hole - clip include - adjustable Beam - operate in candle mode con : - go through battery fast - dim light , led be better - Poor reflector , cause dark spot characteristic of all maglite - expensive at Amazon . look for it elsewhere . - candle mode be not great during power outage , it be very dim if you be look for a everyday light to carry in you pocket or purse , I recommend a new microlight , it be brighter , more efficient , and do not eat through battery as fast .
