I got this unit for Christmas and when I first opened it, I wondered what I would do with it, since I have a billion flashlights at home. So, since this model has a hand crank to recharge it, I figured the best use was for emergencies in my vehicle.
It fits nicely under my seat and I am sure could fit into a snug spot in most trunks. One thing is for sure, you never want to stare into it to see how bright it is going to be. It generates quite a bit of light.
