As expected from Mag-Lite you get with this lamp absolutely robust and almost indestructible flashlight with relatively modern LED technology. The batteries should last longer and accordingly the light is visible light and hue to white and not yellow. By itself you can hardly go wrong with this flashlight. But you should be aware in advance that the Mag-Lite 3D-Cell LED is anything but easy to handle, and with 3 Mono D batteries fitted also brings a quite decent weight with it. For ongoing "case-have" it is thus rather nothing. But it is to use a pinch well as a means of self-defense.
