 blinding light November 1, 2006

There are flashlights and then there are FLASHLIGHTS. The S&W Galaxy is a real must have!Powered by 3 AAA Batteries it beams a bright white light out that can be seen for hundrets of yards and the red light function is perfect at night. The price is hardly beatable, unless someone wants to spend 300 bucks for a flashlight (vortex luxeon).
I hve been a fan of Mag Lights for years, which cost the same as this one but I had to alter my opinion. After I bought one for myself and tested it I gave one to my wife, have one at work and tell everybody who's looking for a Flashlight about this one.
If Amazon would allow more than five stars to give, I would always give the max!

I bought this to replace the 2 D Cell mag light flashlight that I keep bedside. This light is nice and bright, plus much more compact than my old mag light. The red lights are much brighter than I expected, and you can easily navigate your house or a hiking trail with the red lights. LED flashlights are well worth the extra money, and this one is a good one.
Great flashlight for camping August 18, 2007

I bought this flashlight to take on a camping trip. It's small enough to easily fit into a large pocket or backpack, and the holster that it comes with can easily attach to a belt or a backpack.
The ten white LEDs are bright enough to help you find your way around the campsite at night time. They won't light up the whole campsite, but the beam is bright enough and just wide enough so you don't trip over something in the dark.
The three red LEDs are significantly dimmer and much less blinding so they work great when you need to look for something in the tent at night. They're definitely bright enough to illuminate everything in front of you in a tent, but they won't blind everyone. I used red LED setting to look around my corner of the tent to find my water bottle or my glasses and it worked perfectly.

Small size is a big plus. More than ample light to use at night on pathways. Red LED's are handy for use at night for reading maps/directions or just finding your way around without waking others who might be sleeping.
good general light, great viewing light August 9, 2007

this flashlight is bright enough to provide general light for any pathway or dark street ahead. for trying to see what you're doing, it's the best flashlight I have ever used. reading, cooking, just looking at stuff- this light's great. viewing area spreads out quickly but not too quickly so as to hold the aimability we're used to with classic flashlights. all 13 lights are bright enough to leave a perfect image of their arrangement and color burned into one's vision for several minutes after taking a full hit from this flashlight's light, even from a distance. a single red light is just as bright as a white one.
the whole item is decently lightweight, but has that thick well-built gunmetal feel. it feels strong enough to use as a hammer (though I wouldn't test this). the bulb glass remains clean easily and is highly scratch resistant. the diamond-grip handle is not too "pointy," but helps tremendously, especially if you have sweaty palms. matching ridges (though they may be offset depending on how tight you screwed the battery cap) near the LED's and on the end cap keep the light from rolling when you set it down.
the lights are arranged with 10 white LED's in a circle that can be divided 5|5 down the middle, and three red LED's in a pyramid at the centre. the red lights actually bring back much of the color robbed by bluish-white LED's, and make it easier to shine your light around a sleeping campsite without disturbing anyone. no more putting a hand over the front to limit light! the main lights do not dim when the red lights are turned on or vice-versa. no brightness is lost from power drainage until the very end of the battery life.
the case is sealed tight. it almost seems waterproof. the top does not screw off because the bulbs do not need replacement, but the bottom cap does for the 3 AAA batteries. the batteries are placed in a slide-out compartment about the size of a C battery.
button placement may seem odd at first, but makes sense as the tip of your thumb rests on the white light button while holding the flashlight and the red light button is big enough to press without moving that same thumb. both buttons can be turned on then depressed slightly to break the circuit again, presumably with the intent of signaling. it's very easy to control without worry of accidentally deactivating one of the light sets.
it is possible to activate the light even when it is in the the black woven-nylon case, so be careful when putting it away not to accidentally turn and leave it on. accidental activation once the case is snapped with the light inside is not much of a concern. the case is the perfect size for the flashlight and contains a very small but adequately sized side compartment for 3 AAA replacement batteries. it has a belt loop and a velcro strap over the loop to secure the case around any other equipment or backpack strap.
overall, this is a well thought out and well built flashlight. usage for general area lighting is good but not great where it's dark, but anything closer up (~10 feet or closer) can be ablaze with super bright light. the red lights are bright enough to take away night vision if you're not careful, but come in handy a surprising amount. battery life is good. a product for anybody who's ever needed a flashlight, this device could ride at your hip for the rest of your life and make it through easily, with durability to spare.
enjoy.
