Smith & Wesson Galaxy 13 LED Flashlight (10 White & 3 Red LED)

I have been a fan of MAGLITEs but I have to change my opinion after I bought a Smith & Wesson Galaxy 13 LED Flashlight to take on a camping trip. It has served me well since then.

Although I have never been bothered by the bulk that comes with MAGLITEs, I find that this smaller flashlight is much more appropriate for a woman such as me. Smith & Wesson Galaxy 13 LED Flashlight easily fits into a large pocket or backpack; something my old flashlights refuse to do.

The barrel is solid when held and is easy to carry around (this is made easy by the provided nylon holster). The two switches are in the right places for easy one hand operation without the need to fumble around. Each switch activates a different light mode.

There are two light modes on this flashlight; the white LEDs mode and the red LEDs mode. The amount of light from the white LEDs are ridiculously wide and bright for a flashlight this small. It shines for about a 10 feet distance, enough to let you move around your campsite without tripping over anything. The red dimmer lights are less blinding so they are great when you are looking for your things in the tent without blinding yourself or your tent mate.

It’s definitely not the brightest flashlight around, especially if you compare it to any MAGLITE but this flashlight is a pretty good value. I would definitely recommend the Smith & Wesson Galaxy 13 LED Flashlight to everybody who is looking for a flashlight.

For our new year’s resolutions, my friends and I promised that we would go travelling more often. So far we’ve kept to it but much to my unwillingness, we usually travel to the destination on the road at night. In those dark nights, the Smith & Wesson Galaxy 28 LED Flashlight has been a good companion.

The Smith & Wesson Galaxy 28 LED Flashlight emits an excellent beam of white light that’s enough to illuminates your way around in the dark. But our favorite feature is the red and blue 4 LED light mode. They’re great for preserving night vision when reading maps without obstructing the driver’s vision with any bright light.

The longevity of the battery is great. We’ve been using the same ones since our first trip in February and it still holds out. Do bear in mind that we’ve been only constantly using the 4-LED mode that was designed for conserving the battery power instead of the 20-LED mode.

Although we’ve taken good care of the flashlight, I believe that it’s durable enough to withstand any accidents. The body of the flashlight is stylish and feels good in the hand. There are also features that prevent the flashlight from rolling off countertop and your hand; squared ends and grooved mid-section.

I’m no aviation pilot or EMS but I’ve read that this flashlight have served them well during night duties. So whether you work night shifts or night travelers such as my friends and me, the Smith & Wesson Galaxy 28 LED Flashlight can be a great addition to your tool kit.
