Three position switch operates 2 fluorescent bulbs together or independently. Over 40 hour run time for one tube or 20 hour run tube with both tubes. Easy grip fold down handle. Powered by 4 "D" batteries (not included). Reader Reviews This flashlight is very unique, and I like it so much I plan to buy a whole box of these things. It is about the size of 3 paperback novels and uses 4 D batteries. With the big, easy carry handle, it is quite small, easy to carry, and versatile. One just one set of batteries, it is rated at a dozen hours on high with 2 tubes, and double that if you use just one tube. The light it gives is rather dim, but very directional and therefore very useable. Even though I just bought them, I have discovered 2 indispensable uses for this dandy thing. Since it is flat and square, it fits easily into an overnight pack that is already over-loaded, and gives better light than most backpacking lanterns. It also works on the nightstand next to your bed with the nightlight on all the time; the nightlight is LED and uses almost no juice, and is an important light source if an emergency occurs while you are in bed: just reach out, grab it, and turn on the tubes. My only complaint is the rather flimsy, lighweight switch. It would seem to be easy to break, and also easy to accidentally activate or change the switch setting. You really ought to have several of these things; it will prove to be quite popular at home and at work. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
