I have have one of these roll around under the back seat storage area of my Dodge off Road Edition 4x4 for the past 5 year , and it work great . I think I might have change the battery in it once or twice , and it get use pretty often . I also use a large spot light for spot thing in the dark while drive off road . but this 3 d cell flashlight work great when we get out of the truck at night , or or when set up a camp or walk down a trail . some of the `` road '' I have drive would have take out a average flashlight , and though the paint have be scrape off here and there , it still work great . at home we have one near the front door and if we hear something outside this thing have enough power to spot anything you point it at . I know everyone be into LED now , but as I have say I this thing be well build and put out enough light to do the job .
