I bought the lamp because I found the part interesting in itself because of the LED - technology. A lamp which about 500m wide at full batteries lights just right for my activities as an amateur photographer. I let the LED LENSER recently again at a photo session on a lake at night to be used and was not disappointed, an absolute must have for those who want something more illuminate than just a way to light up after the jam in the dark cellar or other want to illuminate objects etc.. The LED LENSER in a sturdy plastic case and the possibility is supplied to carry the lamp with a shoulder strap - just great.
