It's a good light source and so far has withstood life on a crowded nine-year-old's night table.
It's more or less acceptable, the color of the light is pretty cool, it's bright, but not the brightest one for sure, although that was not promised, so it's ok. I replaced my original krypton bulb hoping that this one will last forever with the same set of batteries giving me the same or near the same brightness, but it's even better than the original "yellow" one. As for a recommendation below... Depending on what you're going to get with this replacement. I bought it for a huge device with huge batteries and it's ok to keep it working this way. As for other flashlights, I'd rather switch to another model - Rayovac Sportsman Xtreme 3C 4W LED Metal Light MFG#: SE4W3C. This one is ideal for a wide various set of applications.
If you look at the additional battery life you get with and LED - this is a no-brainer. I would only caution that the light given by the LED is more whitish blue and less yellow. So - the overall look of the light is different, but other than that it's great!
