Not for EDC, maybe good for med?

I might recommend this to a medical professional, but probably not to anyone else. It's not a super bright light, but it does have a lovely round beam with no dark spots. It's about as bright as a maglite solitare LED, but you can't put this one in your pocket or you'll end out accidentally pressing the button and running down the battery. The only good way to carry this light is to clip it to a pocket or on your shirt, but it's a bit heavier than a pen, so it kind of pulls at your collar. But the one time that I needed to inspect my kids mouth it was pretty handy. And it's nice to have if I have to go check something in the dark - I can half-press the button for momentary on, and click it to stay on.

wwernerIt's a "MEDICAL" light. It says it right in the title. It's like buying a mini van and giving it a bad rating for not being a sports car. Give yourself a one star rating.

wwernerAs an eye doctor, the sample medical penlights you get sometimes from reps can be real 'cheapies'. I'd always tossed them and stuck with my fibre-optic transilluminator attachment for my retinoscope handle. Works fine unless I need a green filter (to see blood better), a cobalt blue filter (for fluorescing diagnostic dye), or some kind of neutral density or polarizing filter, etc. Thru some quirk of fate, I have a set of filters that fit the cheapies, so something like the Drop-offered medical light is right up my alley as an eye doctor, although we have real overlap with our biomicroscopes and hand-helds. Clear, even, distortion-free views and maneuvrability are important, as well as the spectra of light: redder light can be absorbed readily into the retina of an eye and deliver damage to retinal tissues so care needs to be used. Other docs with different needs or who can't lug things like biomicroscopes around rely on these type of flashlights. I just thought I'd give you an example of how your doctors appreciate these decidedly 'non-tactical' lights! If you are in LE or Military, know that your perp or your enemy will LOVE how they AREN'T blinded by this light...LOL!
