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
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
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
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
