Common praise
Exceptional build quality with precise CNC machining and durable anodized aluminum bodyVery high output and extremely long throw capabilityDual-switch interface with dedicated momentary turboFlexible battery options with removable battery pack and compatibility with two 21700 batteriesGood mode spacing and convenient shortcuts including mode memoryEffective thermal management and solid runtime performanceIncludes useful accessories such as carry bag, spare o-rings, USB-C charging cable, and optional green filter
Extremely high output for both throw and flood illuminationHybrid LEP + LED system provides versatile lightingOLED display gives real-time battery and brightness infoDurable aerospace-grade aluminum construction with excellent waterproofingIncluded accessories such as holster, lanyard, and USB-C charging cableSmooth and stepless brightness adjustment via rotary switch
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
Relatively heavy and bulky, limiting everyday carry convenienceLaser classification 3B requires careful handling and specialized purchase requirementsUser interface can be confusing with mode switching and locking mechanismsBattery runtime estimates on OLED can be inconsistent
