I bought this in hopes that Radio Shack's original light will live on, but. This one started clogging up in no time and didn't hold the butane in it. I do not recommend this. It's too expensive for what you get because you have to buy a new one every month just to transport it, and very small basic tasks won't even last. And every time the same problem, either clogging or leaking rings and the flare effect disappears and it becomes wasted and garbage like a regular light bulb!
