Tools and Hardware Reviews of Olive Drab Military GI Style C-Cell Anglehead FlashlightCustomer Review: Great Value, A Bit Under Engineered Summary: 4 Stars
For the price, this light is a good buy. Great for tight quarters. And with colored lenses, can be used for a variety of purposes. The red lens for example is great for night illumination when you still need to see without a light; as it doesn't effect your night vision as bad as a bright beacon of white light might. It has three switch positions: off, flash, and on. In the flash position, there is a button that when depressed shines the light. Think pulse function on your blender. This is great for signalling or if you need illumination for a brief moment.
The build quality on this light is good for the price, but it feels a bit under engineered for rugged use. The plastic it is made from is a bit thin. While sturdy to the touch, I don't have complete confidence in it's being able to take whatever I throw at it. There is a clip on the back which is screwed right into the body with two screws; it hasn't happened and doesn't threaten to happen, but I get the hunch it might not take entirely too much for the clip to be ripped out.
This light is great for many circumstances and remains a great value, but I wouldn't condone this light for tactical or overly rugged use. It is small enough to throw in a glove box, tool box or trunk and is great to have on hand. It is well suited for camping, hunting, or just going into the crawl space of your house.
