Victorinox flashlight ???

I have had one for a couple years. I like it,extremely bright beam, built like a tank, takes AA batteries, and is very reasonably priced.

I've got one I use regularly, great little light. Puts out a good beam. Definitely better quality than maglite IMO.
 
As I understand it Emersive Energy makes them, the same company that does the Inova range. Dunno if that's a blessing or a curse, I have neither.

If thats true then its probably one tough flashlight. I would guess by its specs that its around 60-100 lumens and probably has a good runtime if they got a newer led in it. All good responses so far so I doubt you will be unhappy if you get it.
 
I got one, hardly used it but a battery leaked inside and it doesnt seem to work anymore.

I've been using a Nitecore defender (~$50), super bright, compact 1xAA flashlight. It's taken a lot of abuse, several falls from 5'+ onto granite, the protrusions around the bezel (to protect the lens presumably) have chipped and the dimmer circuit doesnt work anymore, but other than that it's been gravy. Fully waterproof too.
 
I have 4 of them from the Farmer tin duo. I would say they are as good as the mag light, but the switch seems a little sketchy. YMMV

I have both the AA and the AAA. I think they are both great lights. Well worth the price!
 
I also got one with my Farmer. It is a good flashlight. I like my Surefire better, but I use my Swiss Army more due to the fact it takes AA batteries.

I'd say it is better than the Maglite LED. However, that is only from seeing one in use when I was out for a night walk with a few friends.
 
I have one that I got with the Farmer also. Has been very good so far. Much better than Maglite in my opinion.
 
The AA version works great, the AAA version is a bit weak. Not beam weak, in general it doesnt stand up to getting wet, or muddy. I have several of each, plus the C version, and I am very happy with all but the AAA lights.

Its a good light. Just be careful with the lense. Inova's warranty does not cover them....:(
