I've got one as well. Compares favorably to the Brinkmann Long Life LED except with a more durable housing. If you unscrew the bezel and turn it on you get a beam comparable to that of a CMG Infinity Ultra. The aluminum LED Garrity is not a bad flashlight, but when you consider it's size and the fact that it uses only one 5mm Nichia LED it seems like such a waste space. They should have made it a 1watt Luxeon similar to Dorcy's.
