Bell and Howell Tac Light gave me a bright surprise.  I was amazed at how much brighter this flashlight is than others I have used.  You can adjust the light to how bright you need.   My favorite thing is that you can zoom in to see things more clearly.  This flashlight is also very sturdy and will last a long time.  Not heavy or big at all so is easy to store in your car or bag.   When the power goes out this flashlight will be the only one you need to use.   I have used it while outside in the dark and located items in dark places.  Highly recommend.  Great gift.
