The only design point I question is the dome-shaped lens, which protrudes beyond the rubber sleeve surrounding the bezel. The light is slightly tail-heavy, increasing its chances of landing on its strongest point if dropped. The material at the rear measures about a half inch in thickness. This light is constructed of what appears to be a reasonably durable plastic, with a rubber covering over the rear, both sides, and the bezel. The color of the beam is exceptionally good, being pure white for the most part, and slowly tapering to a warm white around the edges. The output from this light is surprisingly good, coming close to that of an Inova X5. ![]() With a used set of Alkalines measuring 1.3v per battery, this light draws only 100mA total, or 20 mA per LED. The manufacturer of this light, however, has wisely chosen to add enough resistance to the circuit so that the current draw is limited to 40mA per LED on fresh batteries. ![]() Neither do they produce very much more light when grossly overdriven. I don't like to run LEDs with that much voltage because they'll draw large amounts of current, shortening their life. This light uses three AA batteries (supplied) in a carrier, giving a total power of 4.5 volts. I'm happy to say that it was indeed worth the price. ![]() At a price of only 6.79 I figured it was worth a look. While Krogering yesterday I came across a new flashlight they're selling, the DuraPRO MegaBRITE 5 LED Flashlight.
