Is there a reason you got amber model over the white/red model or latter was just not available at the time of purchase?

Hi
Not wishing to hi-jack the post, but I thought the link below might be a light weight option. The only problem being I have no idea on the quality of the product.

Its an Uzi 3.3 inch, 3 bulb LED with Key chain and swivel Clip

It might do as a backup

I was not able to see the CMG Bonfire first hand when I bought it from REI.

The designer of this light had a brain freeze. The lid is not very secure, just a small force and you can say goodbye to the lid.

I concur, the switch is a major letdown. It's not able to be switch on confidently and you'll have a hard time to switch it on with gloves on.

It wasn't cost effetive to ship it back to REI for me. It's a paperweight now on my desk.

I found it for 18 plus 6 shipping. And everyone I spoke to says it works but but also has nothing else nice to say about it. I think I may skip it.

I wouldn't recommend the CMG Bonfire to my enemy.

HTH.
