I bought one of these from the Countycomm website a few years ago. Everything about this product says "quality." The output levels are well-designed, the light is bright without being glaring (it is diffused by the opaque dome), and the build quality is unparalleled, in my opinion. The run-times at each output level are excellent, due to the very efficient Cree emitter and circuit design. You won't find a better-quality lantern in a compact form, in my opinion. The easily obtained, safe power source is a bonus, and make the TLL Strobe a handy emergency beacon for auto breakdowns, as well as a pocket-able, easily-moved, very bright lantern for around the home, work area, or campsite.
