For a low end priced xenon bulbed light this little critter is pretty darn tough. Mine has been dropped from a height of eight feet onto concrete many times and it works fine everytime. It seems pretty bright but I don't have a clue if it really is 75 lumens. Still it has good beam shape and doesn't pear. The tail cap switch has good positive lock on and both the front and rear caps have o-ring seal. I take mine everywhere and while I have not dropped mine in water I have used it in the rain and it stays dry internaly. Overall a good field grade light that accepts non proprietary bulbs and anyone's CR123 batteries.
