Ok, I got mine this week. Hard to believe it will last the advertised 200 hours on 4 AAs. It is made by DORCY and call just an LED flashlight now. The words COOLBLUE were nowhere on the package. The store I was in had it in the flashlight section with camping gear.
Also got another Dorcy that was so cute my wife couldn't pass it up. It has a conventional bulb, is even shorter than COOLBLUE, also takes 4 AAs, and is not waterproof. But it has an adjustable focus beam and a bail handle with detents so you can set it down pointed in any direction. If I remember, it was $4.99. Also got a pack of 24 AAs.

If any of you are interested in little flashlights that are sized just right for your Montgomery I have a suggestion. I found this at my local Walmart and being an official flashlight aficionado I had to try it. Made by DORCY and called COOLBLUE. It's a single, focused LED that provides a slightly blue tinted light beam. It runs on 4 AA batteries for a stated 200 hours, and it is just hand sized. IMHO it is just right for a life jacket pocket for night sailing or over nighting on the boat. The best part yet, it is WATERPROOF and FLOATS, and will go home with you for just at $8.00, that includes your first set of batteries, and has a "lifetime guarantee". Sure wish I had the patent on this one ;-) Happy Sails to You, Harvey & Deena H M-15 #348 " Pelican" Walla Walla, WA _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
