DaveT, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I need something for my Dad to carry that's brighter than the Arc AAA I got him a year ago. The QIII looks like a good choice, and cheap enough that if he decides he doesn't like it, I'm not out a bunch of money.

Thanks.

ObETS: I got my parents a nano-EDC survival kit a year ago, for Christmas. Gave each a Fox 40, LM Squirt and an Arc AAA. I explained to both why the whistle was so important. Mom carries it, Dad doesn't. But I was very pleasantly surprised by how much both of them liked their flashlights. At their age, it's hard to see under furniture, in low lights areas in shelves, cabinets, etc. They both use them "a lot" just to get more light where they need it. I think Dad could use a brighter light, though, so I'm going to try giving him the QIII and see if he'll carry it.
