I love this thing!! My old spot light finally bit the dust. It was as old as dirt. Took forever to charge, and the obsolete battery was way too heavy. So I started the search and Amazon started sending comparisons. I sifted through the choices, one thing caught my attention was the word INDESTRUCTIBLE.. hmm.. My parameters were pretty harsh: water proof, solid, and a SERIOUS beam that would light up a tree a half mile away. But INDESTRUCTIBLE?! Jeez, that's even more harsh than my demands. As I studied It, I found that it runs on a hand full of AA batteries??? I thought, that's nuts! But then, lately, I've seen flashlights that fit in the palm of your hand that will light that tree up! And they run on AA batteries too. INDESTRUCTIBLE.. I went for it. But now that I have it, I understand. AA batteries are relatively inexpensive, and they're so common you can find them anywhere. The beam surprised me! It goes out there a looooong way. You have three different settings to conserve battery use if need be. The part that I like best, is that this thing is covered in some thick @$$ rubber. REAL RUBBER. Not some poly fake stuff. And I have no doubt that it is as waterproof as the specs say it is. Light but hefty. Solid, waterproof. I got what I wanted, and then some.***UPDATE*** Okay, I've had this light, what, a couple of months now? I don't really understand some of these reviews that knock this spotter!? I mean, I put new, quality batteries in as soon as I opened the box. I use it EVERY NIGHT on my rounds, (it's like the post office) neither sleet, nor snow, nor dark of night will stop this spotter!! I rarely follow up on items THAT WORK. But, my own humble disagreement with SOME of the other reviews, I'm sorry but I have been totally satisfied. This is NOT spam or falsity of ANY kind. The new batteries that I put in? .. Still blazing bright as when I put them in there. Sure, the trigger is Just a bit wobbly, BUT, thats THE ONLY negative to this light. It doesn't bother me. It's been in snow, ice, rain, and it never even flickered. These are ALL FACTS.And for the money? Ya can't beat it.
