this light be okay . con : it be not a bright light . it be not a led . you have to twist it to create the desire focus -lrb- a plus if you actually want a wide scatter beam , a minus if you want a quick focused beam -rrb- pro : it be small . it be light . water resistant . not sure about the battery complaint . I use it for quick -lrb- -lrb- 1 minute -rrb- use , from time to time . be use the same battery for a good full year . I think MagLite issue lead ` upgrade ' bulb for the aa battery model be quite a admission that MagLite be not the top in this category anymore . I be hope they engineer can come up with a lead ` upgrade ' bulb for this single , AAA battery model as well . I would imagine it would be a better light .
