'FIRST CLASS'

Strengths:
Really easy to use and very clear.

Weaknesses:
Disappears when I'm not looking - popular with the rest of the crew.

Overall:
I think it works well at night. Just cup your hand around a torch shining straight into it and it stays bright long enough to take several bearings.

Getting to luminesce at night was difficult.

'EXCELLENT IN THE DAY, DIFFICULT TO READ AT NIGHT'

Overall:
Needs to sit under light to be charged up for night time use. Excellent in the day but difficult to read at night - vision a little cloudy to get a reading
