Common praise
Compact, lightweight, and easy to carry on keychainReliable and consistent output with simple twist operationLong runtime especially on low modeGood build quality with CNC machined metal body and hard-anodized finishIP68 waterproof and durable to 1 meter drop
Compact portable design comparable to a penHigh color rendering index (CRI 90) for natural color renderingUV light useful for detecting counterfeit currency and documentsLong runtime on low mode (up to 75 hours)Solid build quality with aerospace aluminum and stainless steel switchEffective waterproof and impact resistance (IP68, 1 meter)
Common complaints
Output is modest at 100 lumens max, not suitable for high-demand tasksNo traditional switch, requires twisting the head to operate which some may find unusual
No included batteryNon-rechargeableRelatively low maximum brightness and beam distance compared to larger flashlightsUV mode runtime significantly shorter than white modes
