Because of it's non-intrusive red lighting, and especially because of its size and brightness control, this is the perfect little light to bring out in to the field for observing. One caution; make sure you have the lanyard securely around your wrist, especially if you're shining the light down a tube to collimate. One slip, and it'll be headed toward your primary!

I own 4 of these flashlights. They are great for what I need it for but I find the light switch to be a tad difficult to maneuver. It is a wheel located perpendicular to the thumb, with the outer most edge too much embedded into the box. It makes it tough to slide back and forth. You better have sandpaper skin on your thumb for better grip. If you have sweaty hands, forget it. Will I buy it again? Of course, it's probably the best there is. It just needs a little re-design.

Hi, I purchased this flashlight based on Celestron being a brand that knows about night time. The light from the two LED's is very weak. Yes, it is red, but after this light being completely not enough for the work I was doing, I got some red gel and put it over a flash light. THAT was fine.

Too small, underpowered and over priced. Skip this product.

I found this light ideal for my needs. It's lightweight, compact and powerful and can be activated quickly when needed.

This flashlight does what it's supposed to do, and it has a good range of brightness. I especially like the thumb power switch/rheostat -- it's easy and comfortable to operate. My only complaint is that the circle of illumination is relatively small. I would prefer a wider cone of light to illuminate a wider area.
