I moved back to my mom's house after having my baby. I live in the basement with my husband and daughter. We have a separate entrance around back. There is no light in the back yard. I didn't want to spend a lot of money to contract an electrician to hook up the lights so I started looking for another alternative. I came across this item and was pleased by all the positive reviews and purchased the flashlight. All I can say is wow. How can something so tiny radiate so much light. We will be satisfied with this buy.
