I got this as a joke/flashlight for camping. My boyfriend does tractor pulling and in between classes he has to check out the engine and such which means having to take the sides off, at this point it's starting to get dark out and everyone pulls out their flashlights and phones to use as light; therefore many hands in the way and not the best lighting. As a joke I said that they should get some of the mining type flashlights so they can still have their hands free and not waste cell phone battery using the flashlights. I just tested them out and they seem to work well and are super bright. They have three settings and a strobe light like setting, which I am assuming is am emergency type feature. I can't wait to show them these and see their reactions. I will give him a couple and keep a couple for myself for when we go camping so at night we can have hands free when looking for stuff in the tent or in our bags.
