This little lite is great to carry in your pocket everyday! You don't even know its there, but when you need it to check a dark spot it is plenty powerful. This is the second one I have owned. The first one was given to a friend because he liked it so much. It will be the one lite you will depend on and always have on your person when you need it. I recommend a wrist sized lanyard so you don't loose grasp of it in a tight place and loose it. note I have owned my first one for about a year and never replaced the batteries! Still brite and reliable.
