I've got a 6D one that I've had for years that I originally bought as an...emergency flashlight...back when I was driving trucks for our company. Occasionally in not-so-savory areas. In CT, unless you've got your baseball bag in the car along with your bat, the police tend to give you a bit of grief. But a 6D flashlight, that's obviously for...emergency purposes!

My wife bought me a 4D LED one for Christmas last year that I actually use quite often on the boat, as a light! Good light output and great battery life. It's a lot less unwieldy than the 6D, but then again, I don't rely solely on the 6D for...emergency purposes...anymore.
