Amazon.com Product Description
Hailing from the famed firearm manufacturer, the Smith & Wesson Galaxy 13 flashlight is an ideal choice for aviators, law enforcement, hunters, campers, and members of the military. The Galaxy 13 is made from tough anodized aluminum, with 10 white LEDs (for general illumination) and three red LEDs (for seeing in the dark without losing your natural night vision). The white LEDs handle the heavy lifting, with a 30-hour battery life via three AAA batteries (included). The red LEDs, meanwhile, are particularly valuable for situations where you don't want to disturb a driver but still need to read a map, or when you're hunting in the early morning hours but don't want to attract too much attention. The red LEDs--which last for up to 80 hours on a single set of batteries--are popular among pilots, astronomers, truck drivers, military personnel, and police officers. The flashlight, which comes with a deluxe holster, carries a limited lifetime warranty.

 Great flashlight December 30, 2008

This flashlight seems well-sized for its capability, gives a positive grip and is comfortable in the hand. The placement of the two buttons allows for easy distinction without looking and the fact that there are two buttons is a nice feature.
The flashlight seems well constructed and durable, not a cheap plastic flashlight that's going to break on you.
Some people complain that the beam isn't super focused/ doesn't project very far. While this is true (it's a nice bright beam, but it's not going to light things up at 200 yards), I'd argue that this right really isn't intended for long distance use like that. If it was, it wouldn't be well suited for using indoors and at close ranges, because it would be too bright or too narrow. But yes, it's not a very long distance flashlight, but still sufficient for moderate range outdoor use.
The presence of the red LEDs is a major plus, both for night/dim use and because of how much more they get out of the battery. That's another major plus: 30 hours on white and 80 hours on red, now that's some battery life (especially for 3 AAAs). I wish there was a way to turn on just one of the 3 red LEDs, for very low light use, but that's not a mark against the flashlight.
I'd highly recommend this as a good medium size, average application flashlight.
best medium priced flashlight December 30, 2008

wow! this is the best led flashlight i've ever used. the red light is great for the bedroom when you don't want to disturb the spouse. excellent build quality. it's feels great in your hand. it's a little heavy and definitely not compact size. i'm thinking about picking up a couple of their compact lights as well.
Great flashlight. Very rugged and sturdy. December 16, 2008

this light is the best light ever if you like to hunt. is is small and light of weight. the dual buttons allow you to use white or red light easily. I love it. It is the best light ever
 Not consistent when experiencing average use. December 13, 2008

Avoiding the cheaper (Chinese-made) flashlights listed on Amazon, the Smith & Wesson Galaxy looked like a good investment -- solid construction, case, and great brightness.
While the amount of light you get is very good with the amount of bulbs installed, they are not consistent -- meaning, they will start to flicker after average use. After a while, I have to keep hitting the flashlight with my hand to sustain some longevity with the beam of LED light.
Most users here are reviewing based on 1 or 2 uses, but after almost 6 months of use, it would be one I would avoid.
