Common praise
Very bright output up to 5000 lumensGood UI with magnetic control ring and forward clicky tail switchHigh build quality with aircraft grade aluminum and hard anodized finishGood thermal management and runtime regulationReliable and safe design without in-light chargingEffective beam throw of 704 meters
High maximum output and brightnessLong runtime especially on medium and low modesErgonomic design with firm grip and anti-roll bodyMode selector switch allowing quick access to desired outputMultiple activation switches (front and tail) for convenienceIPX7 water resistance and 2 meter impact resistanceCompatibility with existing Stinger chargersBuilt-in Micro USB charging on batteries for on-the-go charging
Common complaints
Gets hot quickly on turbo mode, requiring cautionNot available in neutral white LEDNo in-light charging feature
Maximum output is a brief burst then steps down to half-brightnessSwitches require considerable force to activate constant on, less comfortable than older modelsWide beam angle reduces peak beam intensity and range compared to previous high-intensity variants
