I have carried a Streamlight SL-20 for 20 years as a metro police officer. A year ago, it finally came time to upgrade from incandescent to LED since the "little" LED light I carry was actually brighter than my "big" incandescent flashlight. The difference is literally night and day, the LED is probably 60% brighter than my incandescent light was when it was new. I have literally used the aluminum version in the line of duty as a pry bar, battering ram and all other things that would make the warranty department cringe.

I was so happy with the new LED that I also purchased the polymer version (this one) as a gift for mom to use around the farm. The polymer one does just fine for her needs and is lighter for her to carry as she frequently also is carrying something else to, from or around the barn while she has the flashlight to see where she is going or what she is doing. Mom is thrilled with the flashlight and uses it daily, it is bright enough to shine from her house to the barn (about 200 yards) and still see something there.

The advantage (or drawback, depending on how you look at it) of the LED light is that it doesn't dim out, when the battery is done the light just cuts off. Recharge time is fairly quick and the new style charger cuts off when the flashlight is charged.

If I had a need for a couple more of them I'd probably have half a dozen of the LED versions laying around the house.
