Summary
Clean - Easy - Lightx2
water for purification
Pros
- Lightweight
- Easy to use
- Long lasting
- No cleaning
- Emergency flashlight
Very much like the fact that there is no counting of drops or breaking tablets or pumping (breaking handles) or multiple parts or water test strips, just a UV light to zap the bugs
This unit is very simple and should last a very long time. One set of batteries will last way longer than most typical camping trip durations, so long as it is not continuously used as a flashlight. Flashlight though dim, does supply light in what must be its purpose as an emergency/backup light. When it is dark it is light.
Nice little case with belt loop keeps the cap on and protects the lamp well. I can say this for a fact having crashed several times with it in its neoprene case in saddle bag.
I have used with the SteriPen Pre-Filter which is a great addition, rather than coffee filters.
