Pros:
Overall nice build quality Great output Flexible battery options P60 drop-in host Nice clip One mode Lubed from the factory Emitter has a very nice white output with a very faint blue tint.
Cons:
Cheap strap Threads are overall good, but a little hard to start. Some metal flakes inside housing and reflector, easily cleaned out though.
Other:
For this price, it's a great light! I love that it can use both 18650s and CR123s, so I never have to worry about having the right batteries charged. Contrary to what some people have said, I was not able to tell a difference between output with either battery option.
Bottomline:
I got three of these lights, two for gifts and one for me. All were in great condition with good emitters. One had a tiny bit bluer tint than the others, but that's fine, barely even noticeable. I also got a xenon drop-in(sku 3218) and it works great in this light.
