(More customer reviews)Excellent task light. Like the 1-AA and 3-AA lights in the series, barrel is solid chunk of aluminum. Fit, finish, machining first class. Barrel is knurled full length...just the right amount of grip. Well-balanced. Sturdy lanyard ring protrudes from the tailcap. Can't stand it up on end, but won't roll off a table ala Maglite. Will fit in a pants pocket, coat pocket, toolkit, briefcase OK.
Switch is positive on/off on the side of the barrel near the head. Rubber covered. I prefer this to twisting the head or tailcap, or a pushbutton on/off tailcap switch. Great feature is the three-way operation: high, low, strobe. This is not meant to be a superbright light. But on high it's fine for dark rooms, garages, basements, attics. Outside in pitch darkness, it is usable for lighting your way for over 100 ft. In fact it does cast enough light for me to see a Stop Sign 500 ft from my house. Note: A previous reviewer complained about the lack of a strobe function. But as someone pointed out in a comment, the strobe is activated by holding down the switch for several sec. This is clearly stated in the instructions.
But this light is near perfect for closeup inspection. Especially with hi/lo settings, this is the light to get for inspecting engine compartments, inside chassis, wiring closets, under tables ...Put it on low and you can checkout a keyboard up close (6 inch) without blinding yourself. Light pattern has bright spot with evenly distributed field. No focus, but not needed. Balanced white color. About the only improvement I would ask for is a momentary on switch position. This is a real winner. If you want superbright, though, go for the 3-AA unit.
Update July 10, 2009. Happy with the first unit. Just bought a second one. Same high-quality as the first one. Some customers carp about the quality of products made in China. But what really matters more than place of manufacture are the specifications and quality control of the manufacturer. Streamlight apparently is maintaining high standards. The quality of the materials, and the fit and finish are excellent.
