I own also this kind of lamp.

Basically this lamp is a very powerful and a good idea.

But the one I have has one bad downside: Reliabity.
The battey holder seems to make somewhat unreliable connection.
This causes that too often this lamp does not work when it is most needed.
Sad that this otherwise very good product has this part implemented baddlly (or is it just my unit somewhat baddly made).

LED lamps should be more reliable than traditional lamps.
But this particular unit seems to be far less reliable than my Maglite.
