Common complaints
⚠Output reduces after 1 minute on high to avoid overheating⚠Short impact resistance distance (1 meter)⚠No electronic lock (though double-press prevents accidental activation)
⚠Limited water resistance (IP54) not suitable for full submersion⚠Only moderate beam distance for some tactical uses⚠Tight on runtime at highest brightness settings⚠No removable battery; fixed internal battery limits long-term battery replacement
