Title: Good news, Bad news
Product review: Good News: This product provides plenty of useful light, even with the red filter filpped-up to maintain night vision.Bad News: Despite sealing the case with sikaflex and electrical tape, the unit did not stand-up to the rigors of offshore use. I took this on a trans-atlantic sailboat race (crew of 4 on a 40' Class 40) and the unit failed less than half-way across. I don't know how, but the case cracked in 3 places, allowing salt water to penetrate, which led to the demise of the batteries and the unit itself.I recommend this unit for terrestrial use.
