Works great! You don’t even know it’s there until you need it! Use mine for walking the Village here in Mexico and it lights up just fine. Everybody is amazed at the amount of light this baby puts out. Still on the first AAA Duracell. I like the button feature that cycles through the levels of brightness. It’s looking great from carrying it, to use the patina term, well it’s develoing one! I got my Wife the Blue Titnium Version owever she juse doesn’t appreciate it like me!
