Common complaints
⚠Limited runtime at maximum output (20 seconds before step-down).⚠Battery charging requires removing the cell due to USB-C port on battery itself.⚠Some complexity in controlling modes due to dual-switch design.
⚠Lack of lockout feature (but can be mechanically unscrewed for lockout)⚠No strobe or signaling modes⚠Smooth body without knurling may reduce grip for non-diving uses
