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
Large and heavy compared to typical EDC flashlightsNot suitable for compact pocket carryTurbo S mode cannot be used continuously in high ambient temperaturesRequires high-drain 18650 batteries for best performance
