I scoffed at this "toy" light when my buddy pulled it out. At about the size of a quarter and a few grams you hardly know you have it. And that's the idea....you always have it on you.

I frequently get in off the water after dark and with my failing eyesight (glasses, ugh! :P) it can be a little tough to get things organized. Throw in a swarm of skeets and it can be downright frustrating.

After seeing my pal yank out his light whenever he needs it I have finally wised up. Extremely thin and light I have one in each of my 2 tripping shirts pockets. While it won't replace my headlamp it sure comes in handy. There are 2 types. The original which works with thumb pressure to activate the LED. I like this one because it can't be turned on accidentally. The drawback is it doesn't work so good if you try and put it in your mouth to free up your hands. (I swallowed mine and it got stuck so now when I go outside in the middle of the night for a "relief" break I make my own northern lights..... ::) )

The Pulsar 2 has a positive on/off switch. I seen one on in its package in REI and thought better. Plus the cheap little switch can break.

Anyway, these are handy.
