I use it in attics without lighting. The adjustable tilt, strobe function, and boost mode are great. Intelligent switching between functions. The quick color change by sliding the lens into place, rather than complicating things by having multiple LEDs is ingenious.
Only con is I wish the attachment on the strap that holds the spare lens held all of the extra lenses (3 spares plus 1 on the light itself), not just one.
