Grew up with Raovac, dollar store flashlights. Finally got a Mag-Light as a gift while in Boy Scouts. Thought it was "da bomb" back then. My uncle started me on Streamlight about 8 years ago and I haven't owned anything else since. Im 29 now. Their lights are fantastic. Got this one for archery season. Perfect: 1. compact for minimal packing in archery 2. green light ideal for retaining night vision, better visibility to the human eye than red, and color unable to be seen by deer. 3. Blaze orange aluminum housing is nice for visibility if dropped. This is the 5th Stylus Pro to be added to the arsenal and won't be the last. The white LED/ black housing is a great light, too. Buy 10 and put them all over the house and in vehicles. If you want a pocket rocket that makes you smile every time you hit the button, go with the Protac HL... and a pack of batteries, immediately!
