    A very worthy device

    posted by Spydey on 03/28/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:less than 1 day

    Pros:
    One of the best spot/flood beam patterns I have witnessed in inexpensive Chinese LED flashlights! Usually the difference in illumination between spot and flood is rather stark, but not this light. The entire pattern would be quite useful in the dark without...
    Cons:
    Like any powerful LED in a small package, the business end of this light gets quite warm quickly. It's supposed to; I left it o...

    Best in class

    posted by Rockspider on 12/12/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Very bright! The XP-G R5 emitter is driven very hard (2,35A on high!) and coupled with SMO reflector this has a noticeable throw for a flashlight this size. Better than the UF 2100 with XM-L emitter, which has more lumens but is very floody. Has no mode mem...
    Cons:
    As it's driven so hard, it gets warm quickly on high (but not as hot as an XM-L) Also, for the same reason, some concerns about...

    Small but powerful!

    posted by Stonetwig on 11/01/2012 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Simple and clean design, good quality, great runtime, bright!
    Cons:
    The strap broke at the thin end beacuse the metal is a bit sharp where it's attached. As mentioned before, slightly weak spri...

    Compact Lighting System

    posted by blindnick on 12/23/2011 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Impeccable quality of housing (very few compromises - see cons). Very compact size for 18 650. Full use of the LED and battery capacity - current close to the limit for the LED, but does not overload the battery. Silicone cap on the switch is pressed aga...
    Cons:
    The trade-off between reliability and size: 1. No springs minus contact - instead contact the disc. A concern, but made qualit...

    One of the few truly regulated 1x18650 lights.

    posted by desolder on 11/19/2011 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    The description is true, it really is regulated! The regulation is provided by an AMC7136 adjustable regulator. The sense resistor is 33mohms, which equates to 1.5A with the 50mV sense voltage. I measured 1.32A on high. There's probably some additional trac...
    Cons:
    There is only one spring for the battery, and it is located at the positive end. So sharp jolts might cause the negative end to...
