Common complaints
Only available in cool white (6500K) color temperatureMode cycling speed is slower than some competitorsStandby current due to electronic switchCannot cycle modes directly from turboSome users find switch click too sensitive
Limited runtime at maximum output (20 seconds before step-down).Battery charging requires removing the cell due to USB-C port on battery itself.Some complexity in controlling modes due to dual-switch design.
