Amazon.com Product Description
The dual-switch Smith & Wesson Galaxy 28 flashlight is designed with two separate on-off push buttons, providing a choice between a powerfully bright 20 White LED mode or two battery-efficient LED modes--4 red LED (for night vision) or 4 blue LED (for low light viewing)--without the confusion of a single switch mechanism. It features the latest MSAT switch technology which allows the white LEDs to operate on one switch while the color LED modes are activated on a separate switch. Ideal for aviation, outdoors, automotive, home, and professional use, the 20 LED mode provides a brilliant beam of white light perfect for general usage, while the 4 LED mode is ideal for conserving battery power and signaling and identifying targets at night without hampering night vision. It's constructed of precision-machined 6063 anodized aluminum for maximum resistance to corrosion and weather. The flashlight also includes 3 AAA batteries and a deluxe holster with a spare battery holder. It's backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Performs as advertised. I keep it on a table next to our bed. The separate ON/OFF switch for the red LED is great when you want to find something without ruining your night vision.
It lights up a large part of the room in the white LED mode. For outdoor use,I have a large 6 volt flashlight where distance is an issue. In summary. it is an ideal light for the interior of your home or as a handy light to carry for use in the car or airplane.
The carrying case is well designed with a pouch for extra batteries.



4 out of 5 stars Great for stargazing   September 9, 2008
This flashlight is compact and powerful (but only uses 3 AAA batteries). It's main benefit is the use of the red and blue LEDs; when using a telescope, using red while looking at star charts does not affect the eyes like white light. The holster is not bad either.

I'm not sure how the LEDs will last, though. The first flashlight shipped to me had a red LED that went bad after a few minutes of use. The second one seems to be holding up just fine.



5 out of 5 stars Good Value   August 27, 2008
This flashlight is well constructed, good smallish size and feels solid and comfortable.The 20 white LEDs provide good lighting, better than most incandescent flashlights , but of course cannot compete with the 3 Watt LEDs of some flashlights but which cost more. It is good value for money.
The 4 red and 4 blue LEDs are useful e.g. map reading or when limited light is needed and you want to conserve batteries. I find I frequently switch the red/blue light on by accident instead of the white LEDS as their switch falls naturally under my thumb, but this is no big deal. The holster feels comfortable.



5 out of 5 stars Best in the world   August 21, 2008

LED Flashlights have certainly come a long way since Cristobol Loomis first discovered the technology in Quetzalcoatl's tomb but the basic principles still remain the same and, for my money, they're still the best source of illumination to be found in the modern world. Overall I would probably give the 4 red LEDs three stars and the 20 white LEDs four stars, but when you factor in sixteen stars for the 4 blue LEDs that still comes out to a hair over twelve stars total so I can't in good conscience give this product one star less than five. The only real fault I can assign to it are mainly design choices...why is the second setting able to shine through everything else but not styrofoam, and why does shining the light from the third setting bring reptiles back to life but nothing else? Quibbles aside though, the flashlight is sturdy, capable of surviving a fall of up to 200 feet, and will also provide full visibility roughly 60 meters in every direction even at depths of up to one hundred fathoms. You really just can not go wrong with this flashlight.

Do not look into the light from this little guy!! Took it for a week-long canoeing/hiking/camping trip with six other guys. This light was far brighter than anyone elses. I loaded it up with the Energizer Lithium batteries and haven't changed them yet. The red and blue modes are bright too.
In short, great flashlight, great price.
