I bought one of the green LED Streamlights last year and love it however I always carry a 3 D cell Maglite and a mini Maglite with me. And if things get really bad I keep a 6 D cell Maglite in the truck (which also comes in real handy along with the Ruger .40 semi auto when confronting a trespasser). The streamlights take a little getting used to because it makes everything look like you' re using night vision goggles.
