Common complaints
⚠Battery is a proprietary 21700 cell limiting battery replacement options⚠Light is larger than previous 18650 Baton models, potentially bulky for some⚠Limited impact resistance information and no explicit tested drop rating
⚠Can turn off under strong vibrations due to brass button contact design⚠Some color tint shift in beam⚠Limited thermal regulation leading to output ramping on turbo mode
