The 3610 uses a 1 watt LED that's aimed backwards into the reflector. 100% of the light is captured and aimed forward as a tight collimated beam thatis as bright as an incandescent. The body is made of tough ABS resin that's corrosion proof and resistant to extreme temperatures. It is powered by 4- AA alkaline cells (included). Stocked in black - also avialable in yellow.
