if the NCAA sanction a intercollegiate sport call Cranky Light Sleeper , my wife would be the division I national champion . meanwhile , I be the guy who need to chill and read for a while before drift off to sleep , maybe even have a chat ... and they say we guy be not relational . much to my surprise , the athletic prodigy who sleep beside I offer just a few day ago that I might want to ` read with a flashlight ' and that this would not meaningfully interrupt she nocturnal ambition . would not you know , I be prepared . the Mini mag Lite be ideal for clandestine bedtime reading \* and \* auto glove compartment . those be the two application where I have a Mini mag standing by . the thing put out great light and allow you to focus the beam by turn the uppermost portion of the flashlight . it have the survivability of a cockroach in a nuclear winter . it be compact and have a nifty little soft carry case , though I have never see the virtue of that . a great buy .
