ISO: 3 AAA LED Light with 5 side LEDs

[Outback in Idaho]

Unsure if I posted this before.

About a year ago while merchandising for Waremart in Ontario, OR had seen this one man's flashlight that was attached to his belt with a clip. Looked to be about 8 inches long, and looked like a basic flashlight - unsophisticated tubular format, the normal reflector, but it had (if I recall) 5 individual LEDs on the side. And it had a magnetic base.

Was talking with the man and he said was powered by 3 AAA batteries, one of the tri-battery holders that most have. He thinks he got it from MAC Tools many years ago, and of course would not turn loose of the light.

So have been searching online every so often in search of this thing. Have seen many other varieties, but the light in question was about 6 to 8 inches long, quite compact, and used/house older LEDs - not these new panel versions seen out now. So he had various light settings for notmal lighting, and one or two for the side lighting.
This type of light would be perfect for mechanic work, and even merchandising.

Anyone seen such a device??

  Change search wording and found what looks a lot like what I was searching for. Not exactly the same, but rather close to such an animal. Sold by CAT.

  Cat CT3410 Dual Beam Aluminum Tactical Light – Double-Duty 275 Lumen Top Beam, 200 Lumen Flood Panel Light, Black/Yellow - found it on Amazon for $25 non-prime. Think I might chance getting it, though the battery life claims to only be 3 hours. Meh.

Sounds to me like some version of the Larry Light by NEBO?

I doubt they sell them still with individual LEDs on the side but likely with the COBB strip out now but they still sell them all over the place around here.

They have both Slider versions and non-Sliders I think?

  Am liking this CAT light. The front beam throws quite a distance, could even be used a bicycle light for an emergency. And those side LEDs!!  Man, talk about BRIGHT!! Am quite amazed at how much light those put out. Bought some rechargeable batteries to use in it, although I've not worn out the cheap AAA batteries it came with.
  Even dropped it off the washing machine by accident and it survived a near 4 foot drop. It's my utilitarian go-to light now. 

  Did make a GoPro video taking this out one night, but not had time to edit it yet.
