For Christmas I got a Chinese-made version of the shake light. It's pretty bright, and still has it's charge now. The body is clear plastic, which I guess could be a help...but it's also a burden. I used it on a dark night to walk to my brother's house, and I found the glare from the flashlight body distracting enough to finally keep the body itself concealed in my jacket sleeve so that I could focus on the beam itself!
