Description of Smith & Wesson Galaxy 28 LED Flashlight (20 White, 4 Red & 4 Green 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 & Green version comes with 20 Ultra Bright White LEDs, 4 Red LEDs for night vision and 4 Green LEDs for safety and night vision in one . The "RGW" features the latest MSAT system which allows the white LEDs to operate on one switch while the red and green 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 green 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 Green LEDs)
Customer Review: Overpriced but EXCELLENT
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I don't know if this is worth $50, but I really do like it, I didn't expect 4 LEDs to put out as much light as they do, the red and green lights are totally bright enough to light up anything you're looking at. The White LEDs throw more light than my 4D maglite. A focus ring would be nice, but the red and green are pretty focused. The white is spread out is perfectly focused, not too narrow, not too wide. The thing does what it's supposed to. Overall I'm very happy with it. I love the pouch and the click of the switch feels like you would probably expect.Customer Review: awsome
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

Customer Review: Good little flashlight
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I bought this for my Dad as a gift. He loved it. My brother was doing some repairs for my Dad and fell in love with this flashlight, so my Mom had me order one for him.Customer Review: Okay, but can do better
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
Pros:
-Very nice construction
-2 button system
-pleasantly diffused white light (not as large a zone as I'd prefer though)
-anti-roll barrel
-able to stand flat on end
-comes with case, batteries
-comfortable grip
-intermittent off by half-pushing button (but intermittent on would be more practical)
-convenient one-hand button switch
Cons:
-relatively large and heavy when compared to similar lights
-lack of intermittent on (see above)
-not nearly as bright as comparable Cree or Luxeon type lights
(note: Cree and Luxeon are types of high intensity LED's, Luxeon LED's are manufactured by Philips and Cree is a semiconductor company. Their bulbs can be found in a variety of products.)
If you're interested in this light, be sure to check out the Coleman Max. It comes with a 115 lumen Cree LED, and has a very innovative Red/Green (or Red/Blue) switching system.
The S&W is 228 grams and 160 mm tall
The Coleman Max is 150 grams and 125 mm tall
The Coleman has intermittent on (good), but rear-mounted switch harder to operate one-handed
The "dim" modes (red, green) on the Coleman are MUCH dimmer. This can be a pro or a con, depending on your use.
I own both (the S&W in the red/blue version), and would recommend the Coleman Max
(model # 2000001578 purchased at Wal-Mart for approx $30)
