Common complaints
Significant lumen drop after initial 15 minutes on high modeRelatively heavy for some usersPrice is on the higher endNeeds careful handling due to powerful laser
Maximum output is a brief burst then steps down to half-brightnessSwitches require considerable force to activate constant on, less comfortable than older modelsWide beam angle reduces peak beam intensity and range compared to previous high-intensity variants
