The light was great for close work or reading, but the batteries don't last very long in it perhaps because of the low battery indicator and the plastic cracked somehow.If it was made out of stainless steel, extremely tough aluminum, carbon fiber or titanium and it didn't have a low battery indicator that wastes your batteries while letting you know that your batteries are getting low, it would be great. But unless these changes are made to it, I would not recommend it.
