I've used this at lives many times. It has scratches because I've used it many times. I've taken close-up photos of the noticeable scratches starting from the third image. It's hard to tell in person, but (I took the photos "without light" so you can see in the fifth image). "With light," the scratches become more visible. The scratches are noticeable, but the light still works without any problems, so please rest assured (⁎ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈⁎) Please be sure to read the profile.
