I got one of these from Lifestyle Fascination about 6 momths ago...I've heard that their service sometimes leaves a little bit to be desired, but I received good service from them. The light, for what it's supposed to be, is actually quite nice. The CCFT comes to full brightness in about 30 seconds (standard for a CCFT) and is about 2/3 the brightness of my Energizer Arc White. The LED's, although they display the "angry" blue tint of being overdriven, are quite bright for 2 LEDs. They're brighter than my Derringer on it's highest setting, and in normal applications the color is a non-factor. The xenon is about the same brightness as a PT Rage, although the beam is quite messy. I put a little WriteRight on mine and the beam is now clean and bright. For what it is, a multi-purpose UTILITY light, the 3-in-1 Mini Bar Light is actually quite nice. Mine has seen a LOT of use since I got it (camping, power outage, work bench, etc...), and it has held up well. Although not "practical" as an EDC, it IS small enough to fit in a hip pocket. At $14.95 I think it's a good deal, and a pretty handy light to have around the house or vehicle, IMHO...FYI /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
