I am Star Wars fan and found the flashlight visually appealing. I could use a new flashlight good and just under 14 euros are not the world, I have ordered me and was pleasantly surprised. I had a clunky version on the type of toy lightsabers expected, but the "handle" is a 1: 1 replica of the original, slim, secure grip and processed excellently. There are two ways to switch on the lamp: the "Try me" pushbutton, the lamp (I have to pull myself together to not "sword" to say) activated for about five seconds and then switches off again. There is a slider that holds the lamp permanently in operation at the same location. This slider is also the only moving part of the lamp (shakes to the lamp and holds the controller, does not listen to the slightest noise). Now there are two special gimmicks at this lamp. If you switch a she, heard a loud noise FX activation, also the full brightness only gradually builds (about five seconds). Then the lamp remains silent, what makes sense (though the famous "Humming" would be nice, but to be used outdoors, it would be something flashy). If you switch the lamp off, you go the other way around. The light faded, while the deactivation sound will be played. But now the most important: the luminosity. The four blue LED lights produce an extremely bright light that between 10 and 15 meters far enough on clear nights (for a toy flashlight is enormous). Unlike a focused Maglite scatters the Star Wars-lamp, but not so much that it would lose its effect. A little tip: in foggy nights the reach of the lamp is extremely increased and the outgoing light beam is clearly visible (true Star Wars feeling!) The supplied batteries are very durable (I have the lamp often used for a month and it has not yet lost luminosity). Conclusion: if his child to give pleasure, but at the same time wants to pass on a powerful flashlight to him, should access. But adults need not be ashamed to use the lamp. PS With some craft-work, it is certainly possible to provide a transparent hollow blade to the handle. PPS It is possible, even quite easily.
