Would not buy again
Pros:Long battery life,Adjustable Beam,Lightweight
Cons: Comments:This light was great while it work. However, it is cheaply made and not durable. The thumbwheel broke after about 1.5 years or so, which translates to maybe 30 hours of use. The light cannot function without a working thumbwheel.
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? NoThis review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com
Jul 27, 2013Cheaply built & breaks quickly
Pros: Cons: Comments:I bought two of these and both quickly broke after a few nights of use. The thumbdial is a good idea for adjusting the brightness, but even when new it worked intermittently. It is very cheaply made. On one unit, the small screw holding the thumbdial wheel in place came loose and the thumbnail dropped into the body of the light. I had to take the light apart to reinstall it. Astronomy flashlights with adjustable brightness can be expensive. This is a low cost unit and I got the quality I paid for and worse.
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? No

Mar 10, 2013It's junk
Pros:Adjustable Beam
Cons:Not Waterproof
Comments:Don't expect it to last or be very well built. Bought two and one didn't work out of the box. The switch is extremely flimsy as is the rest of the constructions. Switch area isn't sealed at all. You'll have to take then entire thing apart to replace the battery and needs a screwdriver.
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? NoThis review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com
May 26, 2009Perfect for My Needs
Pros:Compact,Strong Construction,Lightweight
Cons: Comments:I really like the "LED Dual Beam" flash light. It's lanyard can be hung around the neck so it's always available. It's light enough to hold in the mouth, freeing both hands to do other tasks.
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? Yes
For this backyard astronomer, it was a great addition to astronomy accessories that aid in making a night of viewing a pleasure.This review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com
