Good product by A Customer from Santa Rosa CA USA
Review: Works very well. Would be nice if it had a way (bumps on the buttons) that you can tell the difference between the four color buttons in the dark. I've advertantly turned on white light (very bright) in the cockpit of the aircraft because it is difficult to tell which is which.

Extremely bright, needs some work though by ZACHARY from SAN DIEGO CA USA
Review: I purchased this product to keep in my flight bag. I needed white light for preflight, and green for NVG compatability (blue works as well). Then I also wanted red light for general night stuff. First impressions, it was very bright. Second, in my bag, if the light hits something, it will turn on, and my fear is that if i use this in the aircraft on NVG's and the white light comes on somehow, it will bloom out everyone's goggles (very bad). Mild solutions: after much thought as to how I could protect the buttons from coming on accidentally, I wrapped the light with black electrical tape on the top and bottom of the buttons. This way, it can be pressed on a flat surface and not come on. It still happens from time to time. Other problem: Cant tell which button is which at night. Especially with gloves on. Solution: I cut a "V" in the top of the frame directly above the white light button. Then carved an "X" in the green button. Those two are the most common that I use. So I can find the large V, and know that the green is to the right of it with an X. All in all, the light is very bright, but I'm not confident using it in the cockpit during flight. I think some simple revisions should be made to make it perfect.

Great product one flaw by Bryan from Tulsa OK USA
Review: Great flash light, hang around your neck and it lights up the whole cockpit. love the individual on/off buttons for each color. however if you just toss it in your bag it has a tendency to turn on by itself. Other than that it is a great light for flight.

Good, versatile light by Paul from Maryland
Pros: Bright, sturdy, includes red and green Cons: Blue? Who needs blue? Review: This is a really good light. It's nice and bright, the red and green lights preserve night vision while bringing out the different colors on charts. I found the lanyard to be big enough to fit around my head. While the buttons could use a redesign it is possible to figure out which is which. The button for the white light is rough, and if that's on top the red light is to the left. That still requires some fumbling around so if I'm going to need the light often I just leave it turned on.

Fantastic Light by Marc from South Pasadena CA USA
Pros: Bright, Sturdy, long lasting Review: I love this light. It has various colors to be able to read anything at night. For example, reading a map with shades of red is difficult with a red light so switch to green and it shows up perfectly. It's durable, light-weight, and lasts a long time.

Pros: compact size Cons: on/off button design Review: Buttons need to be recessed so that lights are not accidentally turned on while in flight bag.

Small, simple and does the trick by The Myth from Madera CA USA
Pros: Small, bright, less weight Cons: The on buttons a little small Review: Being a student helicopter pilot, a complete preflight inspection makes me feel more at ease. Great "light up" of engine compartment. Haven't flown at night yet to test the other colors.

Great for night flying, by A Customer from Wheaton IL USA
Review: The product is very good. The switch buttons could be a little bigger and a little different, change the shape of the switches to make it easier to know the buttons at night. They are a little hard to turn on and off with gloves on when you are doing a night walk around.

Good flashlight, but has drawbacks by Chris from Andersen AFB, Guam
Pros: Versatile, compact, bright, easy to switch b/n colors. Cons: Not very water resistant. Hard to distinguish buttons in dark. Review: Great flashlight due to compact size and LED 'bulbs.' However, hard to distinguish which buttons control the colors at night, particularly with gloves on. Don't turn on the white by accident at night in the cockpit! The exposed buttons can also turn the flashlight on by accident in your pocket or bag. Lastly, I got two uses out of it, then it got a little wet, now it doesn't work. I want something more weather proof. I can't open it up either w/out pliers on mine b/c the cap is so tight.

All the flashlight you will ever need. by A Customer from NSB, Florida
Pros: LED. Nuf said. Cons: Have not found one. Review: 4 colors to choose from, super bright, compact, uses less energy than a regular flashlight. This product is worth the money. I would buy this product again as gifts.

by Melvin Meadlin II from California City, CA
Pros: Light weight, only need one flashlight for four colors Cons: Small lanyard Review: I received this as a birthday present, and it is now a permanent fixture in my flight bag. The lanyard isn't quite long enough to fit over your head/around your neck, but it can easily be replaced by one that is. Each color can be used independently of the others, or more then one at once if necessary. The location of the buttons can be a minor annoyance if you have large hands, but it is minimal.
