Smith & Wesson LED Flashlight
 

Just thought I'd pass along a great find. My son bought me a Smith & Wesson Galaxy 28 LED Flashlight for Christmas. Wow, this thing is amazing and the overall quality is very, very good. It comes with 20 white LED's, 4 red, and 4 green. Obviously from the way this thing lights up the dark LED's have come a long way in recent years. It comes with a carrying case that can be worn on your belt, or the velcro straps could be used to place it in your plane easily. When you purchase a flashlight for your RV spoil yourself and get on of these. ;)

I bought one last week at Big 5 for $21 on sale. Great little unit.

One thing I haven't figured out is, what's the green for?

I called my local...
 

...Big 5, and they said the $21 sale flashlight is a S&W Galaxy, but only has 12 LEDs.

Is yours really the 28 LED model?

according to the website...

i don't know what the green LED's are for. :confused:

Nope, it's the 12 LED version. I didn't look at Bryan's post clearly enough before I replied... That said, the 12-LED model is way more than enough for cockpit duties.

Green LEDS
 

It depends on the color green being used. I have a Sure-Fire flashlight that has "Yellow-Green" LEDs that are NVG compatable. They are not as bright as regular green LEDs but don't hurt the eyes under nogs. I would rather have geen or red than blue in an aviation flashlight because of IFR maps washing out if I really needed it.

Just ordered the 28 LED version (Galaxy 28) from Optics Planet via internet for $35.50 including shipping. Will comment on quality/usefulness after a bit. Bill

I have used a 2 white and 1 red led head light from the camping section and have plenty of light...............

So......... the 12 would be way more than enough!

The green light is suposed to luminate blood for following a blood trail when hunting.
