I bought one on closeout at Lowe's about 2 years ago. 50K CP rating is misleading. Slightly brighter than a Pelican Super Sabrelite 3C. Beam is kind of sharp, but blotchy. I was rather disappointed, and would have been more so had it not been on closeout. Wasn't terribly excited with the clip either. I wouldn't shell out more than $15.00 for one at this point in time. Hope that helped! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
