The "flashlight" part of the light is two modes, low and high, in white. As a flashlight, it is of no value outdoors, especially if you are working around trains! The strobes however, are some of the brightest I have seen in a package that small..
I paid around $15-20 here, I placed a post in BST and pleaded my case, two people offered on up. It was new in the package.
Another plus for it is that it uses 123a Lithiums, if you happen to live in a cold enviroment this could be quite significant, considering the light is designed to be used outside of your clothing.
I chose the yellow model, the drab greeis pretty cool too.
For the money you simply cant go wrong, worse case just sell it again, you won't lose money.
