    nice
    Pros

    Nice flashlight. The storage case has a nice pocket just for extra batteries

    Cons

    BIG. It could have been half the size and been just as effective.

    General Comments

    Nice flashlight, but its too big for small cockpits.

    Great Flashlight
    Pros

    everything was as advertised. its not a whimpy little plastic flashlight. its really held up in all seasons of weather and i really thought the 'back-up battery pocket' built into the carrying case was awesome for a pilot in case it ever did click on while flying.

    Cons

    none

    General Comments

    very good choice and way cheaper than a 'sure light' it's just as reliable.

    Pros

    Built tough! Looks and feels like it's constructed with military grade materials. The white light is plenty bright for pre-flight and post flight responsibilities. Seems the lowest level of red is sufficient.

    Cons

    Seems a tad expensive but I'm not disappointed with the quality. I wanted a well manufactured light and I got one.

    General Comments

    Haven't had it long enough to fairly judge durability or reliability but seems like it can take anything including a fall from high altitudes. Built tough. I strap the holster onto the seat belt shoulder strap via the belt strap on the holster so it's right there for easy access while in flight.

    I wish it also had a green light as an option in place of the two levels of red. One red, one green and white.

    Just Not Bright Enough
    Pros

    Durable, easy to use. Red light with two settings preserves night vision.

    Cons

    The white light just isn't bright enough. I'd hoped to use this flashlight to check the engine compartment and fuel tanks on routine pre-flights. It's fine at night, but not bright enough to use during the day.

    Captains light
    Pros

    Does the job, its plenty bright if you need to preflight at night.

    Cons

    None

    General Comments

    The red light has 2 modes 1 led and 3 leds even with 1 led on its very bright, it didn't bother me at all but maybe someone more sensitive to light could be, the flashlight it self is thick so you probably wont be able to hold this in your mouth, other than that its a real nice flashlight worth the money imo.

    Excellent flashlight, OK holster
    Pros

    It's sturdy and durable, and the tabs around the barrel of the flashlight keep it from rolling around too easily. The holster has space for extra batteries, and for the most part is quite durable.

    Cons

    After a few months of wearing the holster, the belt loop started to separate from the holster, requiring me to sew it back on. Also, the flashlight is a bit large for that application (wearing on belt).

    General Comments

    Overall, I think the flashlight is an excellent choice; just be aware of potential problems with the belt loop separating from the holster.
