this have a nice beam almost like a light saber if you adjust it to a beam , in the dark , it be light weight easy to grip I be intend to order a 3 d cell light , but this make a good sustitute I have a 4 cell d the 4 d be a bit big for walk the dog , the 4 d cell kind of look like a weapon at night , even though this be my mistake look at too many flashlight and accidently , order this one instead of a 3 d cell this be actually a better fit for task of walk the dog , I r happy my dog r happy we r all happy , now if I ever need a weapon walk the dog I might rethink this
