Like my other “Tools”, this one does not disappoint. It is by far my favorite aesthetically, the color stands fast and has no sign of wear. The Nichia 219 has excellent tint and for such a small light it produces a lot of light and has a good runtime. If I need the maximum light and runtime, I use the Energizer Lithium Primary. For the most economical I use Eneloops NIMH rechargeable.
