Query: 27 dollars for a flashlight?

Yes, and well worth it. Having tired of cheapies that won't work at all or only after beating them on something, especially when really needed, I sprung for this, and am happy I did.However, if you're looking to simply replace a cheapie, consider the two C cell model as it will be smaller and lighter and put out the equivalent light of a two D cell incandescent.
