After reading stuff about cracking around the screws in a couple of other reviews I could hardly wait to get back to the camper and check my light. No cracks. I really haven’t had much time to give this light a real workout in the outback, just around the house or camper, but I have been most impressed with the light output.

The 4 led output is fine to walk by and the 3 watt flame thrower can put a eye out. Well maybe not “out” but it makes the grandkids turn their heads and shout “grandpaaaaaa” when you shine it in their face!

I like the light and when I add a neoprene pad to the underside of the battery case and head piece it will be even better. If Princeton Tec had installed such pads they would get 5 stars instead of 4. I only use NiMH batteries.
