this be a very fine flashlight . it put out a surprising amount of light for its size . the beam be adjustable from wide and diffuse to narrow and focus . you can also remove the lens and it become omnidirectional , perfect when you be in a tent . the holster keep it within reach at all time , instead of feel around on the ground in the dark for it . I use it a lot more than my larger maglight for just this reason . the battery last a lot longer than in other brand of small flashlight , and you get considerably more light as well . a must own for any outdoors fan , and a bargain as well .
