I have a SureFire Aviator, and in hindsight I wish I would have just bought this instead. You could buy 15 of these for the price of one Aviator! Like the Aviator, there are high/low settings for both white and red (the box erroneously says only high for red). I may pick up a few more at this price. - Frank S. Flag of United States

This is a premium flashlight with features that are so well thought out that you can tell a pilot (or multiple pilots) guided its development. - Mark H. Flag of United States

I now have 4 of these. Small enough to leave in the plane pockets and flight bag. Great illumination and yet small enough to stash anywhere. - Howard Flag of United States

This flashlight is excellent; good travel size, lightweight, multiple lenses are useful for night time, and bright. The adjustable light beam (flood/precise) is also very useful. Already recommended this item to a few friends. - Michael P.
