This is a Very well built flashlight with a Great case that "fel-cros" onto your belt ,I have dropped this light on cement (accidentally)and it continues to look and work perfectly ,However it is Not very bright - about 30 feet is the most it reaches , My small 9 bulb flash light "outback" they sell here at Amazon is Much Brighter but this one holds a charge forever and a day ,so it functions well. (the "outback" light has a short like most the reviews indicate , which is VERY problem-matic) This Smith & Wesson is a Good Durable Product........

It is definetely worth the price, it is bright, durable and the battery life is good.
The red light is a nice nightvision saver and the case with belt loop and storage for extra batteries is a plus!
Pretty Good Flashlight for Random Use June 23, 2008

I was pleasantly surprised by this flashlight. Smith and Wesson makes a good product, but sometimes quality manufacturers just slap their names on underachieving new products (case in point: Wusthof Emerilware knives). Anyways, I was in the market for a random-use flashlight -- one that I could grab when I needed it and not worry about the batteries being drained. I wanted something durable (not plastic), versatile (not a big honking Maglite or lantern), and energy efficient (LED). As you've probably noticed getting to this page, there are a lot of options. Here are my key points:
PROS: LED uses very little battery power and is fairly bright. The light is a crisp white and is picked up well by reflectors. The casing is a solid metal, with a screwed on end-cap lined by a rubber/plastic O-ring to keep water out. The metal casing is so durable I don't think I'll ever have to worry about chipping or damaging the flashlight. Switches are raised and easy to find in the dark. I've been told the red LEDs are useful for wanting to maintain night vision.
CONS: You're not going to land 747s with the beam. If you're looking for something with a higher light output, you might want to try the Streamlight Scorpion LED Flashlight #85010. The raised switches can be turned on accidentally when holstering the flashlight in the nylon sleeve (It's not a big deal, but it is what it is). My only regret was I didn't get the 28 LED S&W for only 8$ more.
I use it most often when taking the dog out at night and snooping around the attic. It's small enough to be used for examining the crevices in my engine. I guess when you consider the Smith & Wesson brand, I'm using paramilitary gear for walking the dog!

It's a well made product by Smith & Wesson... It's not heavy or too light that will fall without care...
I recommend to use/buy rechargable batteries so you can forget about batteries :D
The two button feature is awesome!! The While LED light is bright enough to find things in the night, the Red Leds is a smart touch for night use too. Thumbs up!
