 THE LIGHT IS
TURNED ON WITH A RUBBER COATED SWITCH THAT IS WATER TIGHT.
THE UNIT WHERE IT OPENS TO CHANGE BATTERIES IS SEALED WITH A PURPLE GASKET. 3 C CELLS REQUIRED, SHOCKPROOF TO 4' ON CONCRETE THE OWNERS MANUAL SAYS.

 THE LED LIGHT OUTPUT
IS VERY GOOD.
THE WHITE LIGHT IS VERY EVEN. THE LIGHT OUTPUT IS CIRCULAR AND WITH NO DEAD SPOTS. IN USE I HAVE FOUND THE DARKER IT IS THE BETTER YOU SEE WITH LED FLASHLIGHTS. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE TESTED. I WOULD RECOMMENDED THIS FOR THE SERIOUS CAMPER, OR OUTDOORSMAN AND WOULD BE A GREAT LIGHT FOR A SECURITY OFFICER FOR MOST CLOSE UP WORK. GREAT LIGHT FOR MOST SERVICE PERSONNEL ALSO. I DID NOT HAVE ONE TO TRY BUT A COLORED CONE IS AVAILABLE FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL. |

 THIS THIS IS A
CLOSE-UP OF THE PURPLE WATER RESISTANT O RING.
THE CONTACT POINT OF THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CONTACT TO LED ASSEMBLY. THE BATTERY + TIP WHERE THE LED ASSEMBLY MAKES CONTACT TO THE REAR BATTERY COMPARTMENT. GOOD QUALITY MATERIALS SHOULD GIVE YEARS OF USE EVEN UNDER HEAVY DUTY COMMERCIAL SERVICE. |

|
 LIGHT IS EQUIPPED WITH
A QUICK DETACHABLE LANYARD THAT ATTACHES AT THE TAIL.
THE TAIL LANYARD ATTACHMENT WILL NOT ALLOW THE LIGHT TO BE SET ON END. I HAVE ALREADY NOTIFIED THE FACTORY SO THEY COULD CONSIDER MAKING THE CHANGE TO A RECESSED LANYARD CONNECTOR ON FUTURE MODELS. THE RUBBER COATING AS YOU SEE ON THE CLOSE-UP OF THE LIGHT OFFER A SECURE GRIP EVEN WITH A WET HAND. SOME THING FOR THE BOATER AND FISHERMAN TO CONSIDER. THE LIGHT IS BLACK SORRY THE PHOTO TOOK A BROWN CAST. |

| I GOT OVER 22 HOURS OF CONSTANT LIGHT USING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. THIS LIGHT IS A REAL WINNER. IF YOU BUY ONE I KNOW YOU WILL ENJOY IT FOR MANY YEARS. JIM BAUDO, JUNE 2003 |
