Amazon Review: I bought some of the smaller Light Mines in the past and found them to be great little lights. The Professional version is the exact same principal and proves to be just as useful, but obviously more power and some other light options. I ride a Harley so I bought one to put in my saddle bags. This is a decent light for roadside repairs because it can be aimed in any direction, plus the blinking hazard light could be useful...Although I hope I never have to use it!
