I bought several torches that looked like this one, given the low price, I was not taking any chances. But this is by far the best !! The power is the same as the other black metal, but this one REALLY optics opens much wider: the blow + is illuminated power and equidistant! By cons, limited autonomy. The lamp is (very, very) powerful. Count 1h / 1h30 continuous lighting. It's little, but its uses rarely as long row. Also works with traditional LR6-AA battery, but illuminates 3 times less strong. It may be practical to troubleshoot if the batteries are empty. HOWEVER ATTENTION: I was delivered of the torch, charger BATTERY BUT ONLY. The seller has kindly supplied me but a second after a request by the message, no worries :)
