Common complaints
Relatively heavy compared to typical EDC flashlightsNo pocket clip or pouch includedTripod mount removed compared to predecessor W30Turbo and strobe modes not memorized on power cycle
Not designed for everyday carry due to size and weight.Turbo mode runtime is very short (50 seconds at max output).Higher brightness levels have limited runtime due to heat management.
