Common complaints
Only two brightness modes with a large jump between themForward clicky switch has a slight delay impairing momentary useSwitch feels mushy and hard to press, affecting usabilityNo moonlight or intermediate modes to conserve battery or adjust brightnessHead threads are bare and not anodized, may attract dirt over timeLight cannot tail stand due to switch design
PWM visible at 110 Hz on low to medium brightness levels, which can be distractingNot the smallest size for an EDC lightNo tail switch; all functions controlled by side switch
