"Wasn't sure to write the review here or not since I got the mil version with the red lens cover. Anyway, not the brightest in the world, but if I had wanted something brighter I would have bought it. This one has worked like a champ. It goes with me every time I am out camping."

"This light represents all that I need on hikes. A basic light that works. Through four epic hikes, and countless overnighters, this light simply works."

For its day, this was the best ultralight flashlight. Unfortunately, its day was several years ago. Today its clunky non-waterproof sliding switch, inability to pivot up and down, and single intensity (3 LED's, period) make it a non-starter. Get the latest revision with the four LED's, pivoting head, and waterproof switch if you don't want the added weight and complexity of the Tikka XL, or get the Tikka XL.

"This is a great headlamp -- runs on 3 AAA's that last a long time. It replaced a minimag 2AA. ]Only thing better is a Tikka Plus which didn't exist when I got this one. The pattern is not too deep, only about 20' or so, but it's wide and even -- great for tasks around camp or in the tent."
