Common complaints
Heavier and larger compared to smaller EDC flashlightsHotspot tint with some yellowish corona noted in beamSide switch has small UI quirks such as mode skippingBezel can get damaged when dropped despite stainless steel material
Tail switch functionality only works with included proprietary battery packNo mechanical lockout; lockout is electronic and slow to activateSix modes might be excessive with some levels closely spacedWeight and size make it less practical for casual everyday carry or indoor useLockout mode has no visual indicatorThreads are unanodized making mechanical lockout impossible and possibly leading to gritty threads over time
