Nice unit

I must have received the last one as my 2 pack had only one. My son-in-law, who’s a dentist, was happy to have it and described it as quality, compact, powerful light. Would love to get another.

Great little medical light!

So far, I am very pleased with this little light! Fits perfectly in my pocket and far better than my last medical light.

I bought 2 for $31. I estimate they are worth about $3 each. Light is not bright, even with new battery. They remind me of the penlights with the weird looking E10 incandescent bulb. You can find much brighter, higher K penlights that use one AAA for much less. I am guessing these were overstocks or units that did not sell. Live and learn. I am done with "Drop".

a smaller, well set out and useful torch

When the torch finally arrived, it did take quite a bit of time, i found them to be very good for the price. I have a couple of eye torches, and these are the best.

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.

It was also offered in the EDC category, not the ED-medical-C category.

wwernerYes, doctors would carry it every day. It is what it is regardless of what category they put it in.

Yes, it's NOT a tac-light

As such, it does NOT project a high-lumen beam which would disorient everyone around you in a darkened movie theater. However, it is putting out a discreet, focused beam enough for you to be able to safely light your way to an exit in the event of total power failure. When I use it to check tire-pressure, it doesn't splash back from the rim and disrupt my night-vision. When I raid the fridge at night, it doesn't disturb the family. It would be great inside the camping tent at night for the same reason. I think that helps you get the picture. The tail button protrudes prominently, so that's why it wouldn't be good in the pants pocket, as another pointed out. However, it's quite positive in clicking on-off, and it can be easily pressed softly for instant on-off, or blinking it rapidly. I clip mine in shirt pocket. I suppose the color clarity feature would be good for someone working on a circuit board, or around wiring, under the hood, etc. However, I would sacrifice that option if this were made with a regular LED at a cheaper price point.

pneubyI've commented before but I want to reply about buttons. Firstly, as a doctor, it doesn't look good—you pulling out a penlight from deep in a pocket, like some lint-covered gummy bear! No, you clip that onto a shirt pocket or lab coat pocket. These days, washing hands is something you do in front of your patients. (Always!) Pulling something out of your pants pocket is not an option from the standpoint of hygeine; attentive patients are aware of hygeinic practices in health care and they WILL call you on it. Another thing about the tailswitch is that it sticks out quite a bit and I wouldn't be surprised if this is because of a very deep detent that may give you the option of pocket carry if it's difficult to push through the entire length of the detent and trigger it accidentally. If it isn't a particularly long detent, then the button sticking out so far is just bad design. Funny, the brass, copper, or aluminum Drop-branded tiny flashlights have a flush button and will turn on in my pocket each and every time so it is now carried in a pouch I got from Hitch&Timber through DLT Trading in WI:

(Note: flashlight lens exposed in pocket but tail switch is protected. The clip is in the way so I detached it and keep it with my EDC valet case. And I don't worry about scratching the mineral glass in-pocket because the only two items in that particular pocket are this pouch and a nice Drop leather wallet.)

I'm officially off-topic now so I just wanted to emphasize that even slightly-indented or flush switches can be accidentally turned on in your pocket even if it's 'community-designed'. In this case, the solution is to protect the switch from pressure on the button directly by consolidating what you'd normally have in a pocket with a well-designed multi-item pouch. For those of us 'lured' into Massdrop a few years back by the thriving Knives Community, which is now a mishmash of EDC-able items...my pocketknife above... [[Don't read unless you are a bona fide knife nut!!! Ya been warned!]] ... This mid-backlocking folder was made by Shosui Takeda, who is a Japanese Master Blacksmith (third-gen) who does mostly kitchen knives. He sends a lot of fixed blades to another craftsman, Moriya, for stag and hilts, etc. The few he makes are more traditional 'Higo'-style friction slipjoint with protruding tang held by your thumb to keep it securely open. (This example is of a Western style, though.) I had no idea how tiny it really was because of the fine sculpting of the camo G10 on the scales—making this very different pebble texture like some toad- or turtle-like appearance or theme. The blade is maybe 5/64" (so between 1/16" and 3/32") Aogami #2 Blue "Super Steel" in the centre (hagane: 'core') of a sanmai (three layer—'sandwich') of softer steel (jigane: stainless steel clad = NAS, vs carbon steel clad = AS) with forged-finished flats and a zero-ground (Scandi) blade with HRC62-63 and stamped with Takeda Hamono (forge) makers' mark on the mark side and an industry-stylized "NAS" (stainless clad) on the other. The blade is 2.25" and 3.25" closed...so pretty efficiently-designed for a folder. Scales are camo G10 (sculpted per the below pattern) and the bolsters, pins, liners, and rear lanyard bail are all nickel-silver. Back-spacer and locking lever/spring assembly are stainless steel. It's a sweet little knife that needs to be bigger! It, however, fits perfectly in that triple pouch (light, knife, bullet space pen). It came sharp enough to cut wind...but my 12,000 grit polished bevel is aaaaaalmost as good.

Just look at what he did with his camo G10; right? What kind of talent and patience gets you here...? My DIY brain says: "If I had the patience, I would try to customize a few pieces..." Most of his folders are of a more traditional style and bigger:

Knife Nuts: "You're welcome! Cheers!" Everybody else: "Sorry if too much! Cheers!" "Drop, please give us knife-folks our own category again, please. It's not like there wasn't 1.6 million of us at one point!"

Excellent quality .

I gifted the double pack to my nieces for their Xmas. As they are both doctors. It's a natural, powerful, white light. That's even bright ,visible in daylight conditions . Which is important for a medical flashlight.
