Common complaints

⚠Slightly lower output measured vs manufacturer claim (~1700 lumens)⚠Pocket clip is friction fit and only attaches at one position⚠PWM is present in most modes though at a fast frequency⚠Build quality reflects budget price point⚠Some users may prefer Anduril UI on other Sofirn models
