My Operaone great led flashlight

Despite the fact that this item comes up in searches for LED flashlights, it does not have an LED. It's just a standard incandescent bulb. You can get the LED version for a little more, and it's brighter and the batteries last longer.
Need to light up a space with a powerful flashlight? This is the way to go. It's a bit lighter than the 4 D cell version which is great for anyone who might want or need to hand-hold this for more than a minute or two. For my money this 2 cell light throws just as powerful a beam as its bigger sibling. It focuses to a concentrated spot and with the twist of your wrist spreads a broad beam to light a path in the darkest places. I've stood it on end, bounced the light off the ceiling and illuminated a small room with mine. Not enough to live with but certainly look for something small on the floor!
Overall this light is a nice light for the low cost. The construction is classic Mag; durable and able to stand up to daily use. Battery life seems to be fairly long with normal use. The light output is a lot nicer than standard halogen bulbs with a white color output that makes standard lights look "yellow." The focusing ability is perfect to give you a very small focused spot that should throw far. The only downside is with wide beam focusing - which has noticeable "rings" of light. Overall this is a nicely built light for everyday use.
