Okay, I've been buying more 'friendly-looking' toys lately....here's one of the first I've bought...
Nightbuster 8X Flashlight...I found it on
http://www.glow-bug.com
If you click on the LED Flashlights, there is also a Ledda Nightbuster with 4 LEDs- thinner; also a 4 LED Nightbuster, I guess it's the same size as the 8 LED one, but with only 4 LEDs for longer battery life....anyway...
With the 3 AA batteries in this thick-aluminum walled light, it weighs over 1/2 lb. (at least according to my scale)...It looks bomb-proof. 7 1/2" long; 4 1/8" around the head; 3 1/4" around the body...has a nice built-in lanyard (I cut it out of the hole and replaced it with nice paracord)...one can see how this could be a nice fist-load...but it just seems too nice to use like that!....no rings or dark spots when the light is on. It actually looks like some sort of broadway light with all 8 LEDs shining! The end cap twists to turn it on, but it doesn't look like it would turn on by accident- it's got a gritty feel to turning the knob (this is reassuring to me)...also, there are two O rings instead of one in the interior of the end cap....
Very bright, nice warm glow...according to the instructions the LEDs would last for 60 years if used for 4 hours a day.
So, out of a possible
I give this flashlight a score of
