Not to be insulting, but Rayovac hasn't always been up-to-date on led technology, but they break the mold with this one, as they unveil their enterance into the high power LED world. Personally, I feel that their LED line is what is hurting the new Mini-MagLEDs. Pretty much this is a rebranded Nuwai X-3, same as the River Rock 3W light found at Target, and same as the Rayovac Sportsman Extreme 3W light found at Wal-Mart. It gives amazing light, and has amazing regulation when using NiMH batteries. To the casual flashlight users, regulation means that you get a more constant level of brightness throughout the battery life. Where a standard light would dim quickly, regulation allows a flashlight to stay bright.
This light gives blinding light, light that you would not expect from a light it's size, especially one that runs on AA batteries. It is built like a tank, and is very easy to use. Twist to turn on, and a momentary button which you can push for sudden light for a quick burst of light, or to signal. It is light, but durable. Even if you're using a 4D standard Mag-Lite (not the MagLED) it is brighter, with better runtime.
Many casual shoppers would think that this is a lot for a 2AA light, but don't let first impressions fool you. This is a serious lighting tool for a fraction of the price of comparable lights. It costs more, but you get brighter light, more battery life, and a bulb that will never burn out. In addition, it's made strong, and if something should happen to where you lose it, you're not out a lot. Get it, and I promise you, you will NOT be disappointed.

-AAs
-Push or locked on button
-clip for using with a cap or pocket
-very strong
-shorter than Mini Mag LED
-comes with a removable strap
-won't roll when put on table for example (like Minis)
CONS:
-Beam not adjustable
-Not completely water proof
SUMMARY:
Best cost-benefit AA flashlight I've tried. Super bright and tough, full of features.

Great size, small enough to carry it your pocket. I have a thing about flashlights used them all the time, this light is powerful as any of my larger lights which I replaced them with the extreme. Price is right, powerful, reliable best light I ever used without spending big bucks.
