Common complaints
Lowest moonlight mode relatively floodier and lacks ultra-low sub-lumen outputNo built-in high CRI emitter optionSome users dislike new tube knurling and tailcap designMode spacing and lack of advanced firmware customization
Tailcap has a bulge causing instability and prevents secure tailstandingClip can only be mounted tail-end for bezel-down carrySide light and switch on the same side can cause accidental activation of side LEDsUI has some quirks with double-click actions returning to previous modes instead of turning offNo ramping mode; stepped brightness levels onlySide LEDs activate on channel change which can be jarringLanyard hole on tailcap can risk loosening battery cap
