... I have been on a hunt for the perfect penlight for better than 30 years ....That little Streamy was among the best I ever used ...
I'm leaning more to something like a UK or Peli. It finally dawned on me that for some of the poking around I do , I would be better off with a non conductive pen light .Might increase my longevity somewhat !Chris

It has 6 AAAA inside.

AAAA's are pretty easy to find here at most grocery stores. And then theres a radio shack just down the road.I got one of those from Zack, Just fine as a pen light but the switch doesn't feel the most solid (though I could be wrong, it's not had lots of use) but more importantly IMO finding AAAA cells is a pain.

The Peli line also has a couple of Twisty AAA's , both LED and Incan . Peli products have treated me well over the years . Chris
