Description of Smith & Wesson Galaxy 28 LED Flashlight (20 White, 4 Red & 4 Blue LEDs)
One of the most versatile flashlights on the market today, the new for 2007 Galaxy 28 LED Series Flashlights are a step above anything you've seen. These lights come in two versions. This Red, White & Blue version comes with 20 Ultra Bright White LEDs, 4 Red LEDs for night vision and 4 Blue LEDs for low light viewing. The "RBW" features the latest MSAT system which allows the white LEDs to operate on one switch while the red and blue modes are activated on a separate switch. This allows you to never second guess which mode you are turning on so to never lose your natural night vision. The flashlight also includes 3 AAA batteries and a deluxe holster with a spare battery holder. The limited lifetime warranty guarantees the quality and reliability you have come to expect from Smith & Wesson since 1852.The dual-switch Smith & Wesson Galaxy 28 flashlight is designed with two separate on-off push buttons, providing a choice between a powerfully bright 20 White LED mode or two battery-efficient LED modes--4 red LED (for night vision) or 4 blue LED (for low light viewing)--without the confusion of a single switch mechanism. It features the latest MSAT switch technology which allows the white LEDs to operate on one switch while the color LED modes are activated on a separate switch. Ideal for aviation, outdoors, automotive, home, and professional use, the 20 LED mode provides a brilliant beam of white light perfect for general usage, while the 4 LED mode is ideal for conserving battery power and signaling and identifying targets at night without hampering night vision. It's constructed of precision-machined 6063 anodized aluminum for maximum resistance to corrosion and weather. The flashlight also includes 3 AAA batteries and a deluxe holster with a spare battery holder. It's backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Sports reviews of Smith & Wesson Galaxy 28 LED Flashlight (20 White, 4 Red & 4 Blue LEDs)
Customer Review: Awesome Product
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this Product! I am using it for Hunting Trips! Just an Awesome Product!Customer Review: Good sturdy and versatile product
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I am a pilot for a major overnight express company, and I bought this light to replace a cheapo light that I accidently left in the cockpit after a flight. I wanted something more solid and geared toward aviation, and this light fits the bill. The white light is bright, but lays down in a soft broad swath. The red and blue lights are great for preserving night vision when hunting for charts or illuminating a dark corner of the cockpit. It appears to be very solidly built and, even though I haven't dropped it on concrete yet, I think it would handle abuse pretty well.
My only downgrade comes from the lack of a wrist strap of some kind. I usually hang my flashlight on the cockpit window handle which makes it very convenient to find in an emergency. I've just had to be content with leaving it in my bag behind my seat. However, it is much less likely to get left behind in the cockpit that way, so maybe it's all the better.
Customer Review: Larger than you might think
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Ordered this as a belt holster light, but it's too big to be comfortable on a belt each day. It's 6.5 inches long and 2 inches at the widest part. I was looking for something about 1/2 that size. It seems to work fine, the beam is not much focused, as others have said. It will do the job around the house for winter emergencies. I'll look for something smaller for hubby's belt.
I've bought 4 different kinds of these flashlights recently. All had the same trouble with iffy battery connections. I seem to have a work around. They use these removeable 3 aaa inserts and the contact at one end is sometimes very minimal. We put a 1/8 washer down inside, nearest the led end to improve the contact and now all are working fine. Some engineer somewhere doesn't have a clue.
Customer Review: Great for stargazing
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This flashlight is compact and powerful (but only uses 3 AAA batteries). It's main benefit is the use of the red and blue LEDs; when using a telescope, using red while looking at star charts does not affect the eyes like white light. The holster is not bad either.
I'm not sure how the LEDs will last, though. The first flashlight shipped to me had a red LED that went bad after a few minutes of use. The second one seems to be holding up just fine.
Customer Review: Powerful feeling flashlight
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
The flashlight has a solid feel, nice click to the buttons, and the battery has not warn out yet (I've had it for about 3 months with casual usage). The different colors are a nice touch, but one thing worth noting, you need to go through the colors, you can't pick them individually. One press gets blue, the next red, then off. So while white light can just be turned on and off, you can't just get to the red light, you need to go through blue first.
