Summary: Okay, but can do better
Comment: Pros:
-Very nice construction
-2 button system
-pleasantly diffused white light (not as large a zone as I'd prefer though)
-anti-roll barrel
-able to stand flat on end
-comes with case, batteries
-comfortable grip
-intermittent off by half-pushing button (but intermittent on would be more practical)
-convenient one-hand button switch

Cons:
-relatively large and heavy when compared to similar lights
-lack of intermittent on (see above)
-not nearly as bright as comparable Cree or Luxeon type lights
(note: Cree and Luxeon are types of high intensity LED's, Luxeon LED's are manufactured by Philips and Cree is a semiconductor company. Their bulbs can be found in a variety of products.)


If you're interested in this light, be sure to check out the Coleman Max. It comes with a 115 lumen Cree LED, and has a very innovative Red/Green (or Red/Blue) switching system.

The S&W is 228 grams and 160 mm tall
The Coleman Max is 150 grams and 125 mm tall
The Coleman has intermittent on (good), but rear-mounted switch harder to operate one-handed
The "dim" modes (red, green) on the Coleman are MUCH dimmer. This can be a pro or a con, depending on your use.
I own both (the S&W in the red/blue version), and would recommend the Coleman Max
(model # 2000001578 purchased at Wal-Mart for approx $30)

Summary: Perfect!!!!
Comment: Just the ticket to get the job done. The LED's can be seen for miles (well 2 miles). Light enough to forget you are carrying a flash light and rugged enough for any weather conditions.

I just wish I had bought more than one as loads of my work colleagues now want one.

Summary: Excellent Flashlight

Summary: Unbelievable!
Comment: Best light in such a small package I've seen -- makes my 4 D-cell maglite obsolete! I can't believe the amount of light possible from 3 AAA's.
The red and green are great for preserving night vision but I haven't quite decided which is better while stargazing. Green is definitely easier to see by but red just feels right. Nice to have the option.
The case provides easy storage for extra batteries and the small package fits neatly on a belt or backpack strap for quick access without being in the way.
