They say good things come in small packages and they are right. This is the perfect LED for traveling, hiking, or keeping in the car glove box. The small size means it won’t weigh you down but the powerful Cree emitter will turn night into day. The manufacturing on this one is top notch and the threads are machined to a high tolerance for durability and longevity. It can be used with a single CR123A or (2) 18650 batteries for added versatility. The textured reflector and glass lens yield excellent throw and spill, perfect for long distance spotting as well as area lighting. We have tested this one thoroughly and have been very impressed with the output as well as the battery life. This is an excellent choice for a great all around flashlight and an especially smart choice when size and weight are an issue.
