Many possibilities

Of course I love light. . but i like this one. My high school physics teacher taught us that light intensity is inversely proportional to the square of distance. . twice as close the light is four times as bright. Key lost. . Slide this under your bed and you'll be surprised what you find (besides dust balls). Concentrated light in remote areas. . also under the hood or in other places with secrets. Three things are so-so: the magnet is good until you screw on a flexible rod, then marginal; The Hi-Low switch works, but it seems like it should be on the main body (you seem to instinctively look for it there; and Hi-Med-Off instead of Hi-Off-Med-Off would be nice you do (You don't always know which setting you're wearing), but Supreme Frustration is a screw-on battery cover. I have Duracell 2500mAh AA batteries so there shouldn't be any problems in the near future. I could understand every remark made by others; It can be difficult to reattach the base. I searched my old Maglite for an explanation but couldn't find anything definitive. Both have fine threads with insertion collars. . although I've just tried NextLED and it didn't struggle as much this time (maybe the silicone lube helped). Overall I like it in my custom lightbox. I haven't had a chance to use it often, but it's nice to know it's always at hand. Seems well done, but should be treated with some respect (all that flexible stuff is fine until it's not).

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Many things
