Unexpected flat battery exasperation and inconvenience Some lights featurePosted by Rondid42 on July 28th, 2016 Unexpected flat battery exasperation and inconvenience Some lights feature a silent (non-clicking) instep-beam function in which slightly depressing the switch activates the light until either a full click leaves it on or releasing the switch turns it off without having to cycle through all modes This is a desirable feature in law enforcement operations Most flashlight bodies are either plastic or aluminum alloy http://divinenutrions.com/need-a-flashlight feature stainless steel in the head of the flashlight for extra impact resistance Not all aluminum bodies are the same—thinner styles are lighter thicker ones are tougher Cylindrical bodies are the most common shape but as these tend to roll around when laid on a surface some models are profiled to resist rolling Additionally the surface of the body may have a knurled pattern to provide grip and reduce slipping This is mostly personal preference A larger heavier unit is not necessarily brighter but it is likely to feature an extended run time due to a greater battery capacity Add-ons that may be.
