Smith & Wesson Galaxy 13 LED Flashlight (10 White LED & 3 Red LED)

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. IT WORKS JUST FINE ALL THE TIME.

I really like being able to switch between the white and red LED's, or have them both on at the same time. This is definitely not a light for really long distance lighting, but is great for inside buildings and close areas outdoors.

The case is very rugged and the size of the flashlight is fantastic. I would definitely recommend this flashlight to anyone that needs a reliable multi-function light.

A vividly bright white and red light is what this flashlight projected the first night and a half of its use. On the second day both lights began to fade from dim to bright at random and periodically the buttons would not work. New batteries were tried with the same effects and the flashlight was gently handled the two days of its use.

Reading the reviews of the other cheaper LED flashlights idetical problems can be noted. This leaves me to wonder if the same manufacturer in China also created this flashlight. On the package it shows that a Chinese based company made the light not Smith & Wesson.

This flashlight is both well-built and performs as expected. My biggest complaint: I wish you could focus the beam (you can't). You can only do that in LED flashlights costing a lot more.

My only other criticism: if you're not careful, putting the flashlight into its holster can turn the flashlight on - even though you want it off when carrying it. In other words, I wish the carry case was designed as nicely as the flashlight itself.

But for the money, this is a great deal.

I was looking for a good flashlight to keep in a car for safety and convenience purposes. I found it. It's lightweight, stores easily and is bright enough to illuminate the cargo area or tool box to find what is needed. I haven't taken it hiking yet, but the sturdy case should keep it safe & secure. The second one is for the other car.
