    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for reviewing FlareSafe, our recently-launched travel safety product. To clarify, the 'latest LED technology' comprises four Nichia 5mm white LEDs, which are driven by a step-up transformer to generate a strong pure light. It is, as you say, a good flashlight.

    One other function worth pointing out - pushing both orange buttons on the body of the unit (you can only see one of these orange buttons in the picture), puts the unit into distress alarm mode, which you might well use in the event you were attacked. The alarm starts shrieking, and the flashlight strobes to provide a visual and audible signal of distress.

    Ah yes, and the price includes the three batteries (including a back-up Lithium battery). We reckon it is great value, and hope to be launching it in North America in the next couple of months.

    Thanks again for the review.
