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 with stable regulation thanks to smart cooling fanSolid build quality with a unique rectangular shape that prevents rollingMultiple beam modes and programmable brightness levelsGood runtime performance relative to high outputConvenient USB-C onboard chargingIncludes lanyard and holsterBatteries included
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
Unusual rectangular shape may feel bulky or less ergonomic to someNo official IP water resistance rating due to fanSwitch can be mushy and produce a popping soundNo very low 'moonlight' modeFan operation audible under loadLanyard quality not premiumNo clip included for pocket carry
