Common complaints
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
Not designed for everyday carry due to size and weight.Turbo mode runtime is very short (50 seconds at max output).Higher brightness levels have limited runtime due to heat management.
