Runs on 2 AA batteries and has a low and high setting which you activate by holding it either straight down or normal when you twist the head to turn it on. Leather holster is optional, they usually come with a cheap nylon one that also works but I like this one better. Also have this contraption by olight to use it on my bike.
When I first got it over ten years ago it was just about the brightest flashlight I or anyone I knew had ever seen. Today there are brighter ones but they use weird batteries or are rechargeable only. I currently run usb c rechargeable batteries too as an experiment but I like that AA cells are so readily available, easy to carry and I can always swap them and recharge them later if I don’t have time or patience to wait. Some years ago I got another one because it thought my first one went bad but it turned out I had just neglected maintenance because I was a kid and the cheapo batteries I was using were defective, some petroleum jelly and better batteries and I was good to go, since then I kept the original one in my cars center console and the other one in my Uni bag. I still think it’s simply the most versatile for me, I’ve taken it to sleepovers, camping, explored old mines and buildings, climbed some mountains with it, and it’s also served me well on my bike commute in all kinds of weathers and temperatures on a daily basis without fail. It also survived some drops down a tiled staircase.
Unlike many other flashlights that would corrode or whose switches would malfunction I’m pretty confident in the quality of this one having owned and used it for a long time. It also doesn’t look stupidly tactical for no reason and if you’re smart you can actually get it in bright colors so you can find it better in the dark.
Best part is you don’t have to cycle through 4 fucking light modes every fucking time.
