You'll have to let us know what you think of it.  I've liked the LM lights I've had in the past.

Ooo...just passing thru... :D
Things i notice with different type of batteries, it tends to works better consistently with alkaline battery like duracell than non alkaline....For its mere 45 lumens, just meet the needs..:D, ..bright enough for roof inspection during last unusually windy days.

My ST 300 came with a Monarch 400, and I must confess that I didn't expect much from this, turns out I was wrong ...

I love the Monarch 400, works great, looks great, feels great ...  :drool:.

I've got more than enough 1xAA lights already (at least according to my wife I have anyway  ;)), so I'm not likely to seek one of these out.  I am however a fan of my Monarch 300.

Meh.  The Monarchs were never great lights.  The Serac line was way better.

IIRC the lights are not covered by their 25 year warranty, more like 1 year or thereabouts. :-\

lol, honestly, I don't remember either.

I contacted leatherman and asked if they would send me an LED lenser product for my monarch warranty return.

I have the Monarch 200, 300, and 400 and I love them all.  My wife carries the little guy on her keys and the other two are my EDC.  I always have the 300 on me, and the 400 will be back on my belt soon for my new(old) job working security.

how do you like working security?

I start back doing it next Saturday.  This job is titled Loss Prevention, but it's a whole lot more than that.  It involves handling not only Security for the Resort, but internal investigations, safety, documentation, and handling terminated or suspended employees.  I did it for two and a half years, and about a year and a half ago I was promoted out of the department.  I wish that had never happened because I loved Security and for my purposes it was perfect and will be once again.  I will be back on my old schedule of 2 over nights and 3 evening shifts a week.  I love it because it's odd and I get a huge chance to check out new MT's and flashlights.  We are also responsible for all maintenance and repairs for in room safes and door locks(that's fun!).
