Streamlight 65418 18" Stylus, Black - 11 Lumens,Medium

Works great

I am a woodturner who makes a lot of hollow forms (Vases and urns). I want to ensure that the inside of my projects are of even thickness and smooth - This is a very bright light that lets me do this. I have tried multiple other brands and this is a keeper - Works so we i bought the smaller version as well .

I call it "Harry Potter" because it resembles a lit wand. Remember the scene in "Alien" when they are looking for the facehugger after it disappears from John Hurt's body? The were all holding pale blue pen torches with an intense light on the end of a thin extension rod. Incredibly useful for searching in dark cavities, especially through small openings. From checking piston crowns via the spark plug hole to checking dental crowns to looking for dropped bolts under kitchen appliances: You cannot see without light! Anyway, the thing in the Alien movie was a Flexilum flexible surgical light and its main use was for checking all the cement had been removed from inside a femur after a hip replacement removal. This is the closest you will get and I have several. Only drawback is you have to be careful not to bend it too tightly a the plastic coating can crack and let fluids in (like oil and grease etc) Oh, and it takes 3 weird batteries which are sold in packs of 4. (AAAA)

Increible

I use this to look inside musical instruments, mainly bass violin. I use the shorter 7 inch version to look into smaller places/ instruments. I am glad I have both. Anyway, this is very very useful and well worth the money. The flexible neck on the light is stiff enough that it retains its form for as long as you need. It's bright enough for most apps. I agree with other reviewers that the AAAA batteries are hard to find, but oh well. This product is well made, and I expect it to last a long time. The light can be turned on with a pen-type push button (intermittent), or you can screw it on like a mag-lite. I recommend.
