I bought four of these, one for myself and three for gifts.The dual lighting is very useful, LEDs for low light to light a dark path and most uses, and the Xenon lets you see something you might need a lot of light for.
I specifically wanted the CR123 lithium model, which makes this little light perfect for the glove box.I had always had trouble with alkaline batteries dying from the heat and cold, but the lithium seem to hold up very well, and good management makes the battery life very long, in fact my son is very careful about using his and it still has the original battery in it two years plus.He only uses it to work on the computer or during a power outage, I think he is going for a record.
You can find the CR123 batteries for under $2 on the internet, and they are three volts, so you get the same power as a two cell normal alkaline type batteries.
If you want something with a little more light, consider the 2L, meaning it has two batteries, which some might prefer, but this little one is very convenient for sticking in the wife's purse, or the pocket.
It is very rugged and a little heavier than your typical plastic flashlight, but seems to hold up well, and has good fit and finish.

Solid and inexpensive for fluorescing scorpions.Specimens resolve quite nicely at the wavelength this unit emits.I've noticed that other substances (food, bodily fluid) doesn't fluoresce as say, a tube would.But if you need a combination UV/standard flashlight for indoor or outdoor close-quarter use, this gets the job done.
