need to light up a space with a powerful flashlight ? this be the way to go . it be a bit lighter than the 4 d cell version which be great for anyone who might want or need to hand-hold this for more than a minute or two . for my money this 2 cell light throw just as powerful a beam as its bigger sibling . it focus to a concentrated spot and with the twist of you wrist spread a broad beam to light a path in the darkest place . I have stand it on end , bounce the light off the ceiling and illuminate a small room with mine . not enough to live with but certainly look for something small on the floor !  the rubber gasket keep water out if you need to use it in the rain or in any place it might get a good dousing . the rubberized power switch be easy to find in the dark and easy to click on . a extra lamp come in the base cap . nice touch .
