If the mode is great for headlamp, there are situations in which a small powerful lamp is needed. By testing this lamp, I thought I had one of those products "gadget" plastic as are flashlights often produced by manufacturers looted. I confess some surprise unpack and use! The impression of robustness arises from the hands outlet. His body aluminum grooved inside gives it a certain weight that provides excellent grip. If the setting of the beam by rotation of the head seems to have a bit more game than my mini maglite fire, fit and workmanship are of good quality. Less than falling on the ice (polycarbonate? Scratched?) Your lamp should resist shocks. If the water is able to enter, it will not be looted by the compartment that is well protected. The light beam keeps its promise over dark circle of shadow. The LED is very powerful and gives a white light with a beam from a reputable reach. This really is the type of lamp that you can take when walking / camping or keep in your toolbox.
