size is fine, light is fine. from this standpoint, it is all i would need. the on/off mechanism is pretty terrible. sticks to the point where i had to use pliers or a rubber jar grip to turn the light off....and i checked, it is not off thread. this is not ideal for the time when you are manipulating delicate flies and/or need hands. had i known this, would have gone for the bigger version. now i will have to anyway, and i'm out $20. and i am a huge loon fan in general.
