Use the flashlight has been going a 3/4 year and am completely satisfied. The beam can be adjusted very well and this also does not come from the known Maglites dark circle in the middle. The brightness is absolutely satisfactory. The plastic housing makes a rather robust impression, despite the low weight. The torch has been many crashes survived to have suffered without any injuries. The battery / battery life (3xAAA) is also satisfactory. The manufacturer's specification of 42 hours of light I consider a little covered more than 30 hours, it certainly.
