Panasonic Flashlight - The Light

I used this light regularly around the house.  One interesting aspect of how it worked it lit the red lens holder at the top.  It is translucent so you could see the light from the side through the red plastic making it easier to find if you set it down when on or if someone else was with you they could see it from the side.  The switch worked perfectly as if they had put in a high quality switch.

This was a very good light for well over a decade until some batteries leaked in it.  The bottom spring corroded and I never got around to figuring out a repair.  Too bad because it was a smooth and very reliable light.  You can't access the rear spring since this is an enclosed base on the light making it difficult to reach for cleaning or replacement.  Because of this it may be a throwaway.

In the future if you want a Panasonic light you'll have to find something else since this is no longer available.

I haven't bought one of these yet, but a flashlight that works with either D, C, AA, AAA is an invaluable survival tool.  This one is on my wish list.
