For the size, this thing is super bright, as good or better than a double D type light. I've had mine for over 2 years now, constant daily use, and haven't had to swap the bulb or battery. If you leave it on, it will get super hot. I've heard it will blow the bulb if you drop it hot. You can put it on the charger and leave it there, it won't overcharge. On a full charge, it will last all day, but starts to go dim towards the end. I wish it had something to keep it from rolling when you lay it on a flat surface. I noticed the newer led model is made with a deal to keep it from rolling.

UPDATE: I did finally have a couple problems with it. I dropped it and it stopped working. Opened it up, wonderful, it had a spare bulb in the tail cap. Simple swap, working again. Then the twist switch stopped working while the push was still working. Opened it up, slid the battery out, found the spring that pushes against the battery had caused a little dark dent on the battery contact area. Cleaned it up, reassembled, back in business.

Now, I believe from dropping it, the twist switch stopped working. The dents on the battery contacts are now deeper and no longer want to hit the contacts good. It looks like I'll have to replace the battery to get it to start working properly.

Then occasionally, it doesn't want to contact properly with the charger. Clean the contacts on the light and charger, snap in, and it works most of the time, but occasionally, I have to twist the switch to get it to start charging. Make sure it's turned off before you walk away. I also noticed it doesn't like being in direct sunlight on a hot day on the charger.

Been using large "torch" lights for many years - this light is equal to or better than most of those. Also last longer and is extremely compact and light. Very pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome light!, March 10, 2010

I'm a refrigeration technician. That means I'm in dark places all the time. I bought this light over a year an a half ago. I have gone through 2 bulbs in that time. It still holds a charge, well it has never died on me. I charge it next to my bed just about every night. It is really bright. I can also put it on my AR-15 if I want:)
