Common complaints
Relatively heavy and large for pocket carry; better suited for bag or holsterGets very hot at maximum brightness; not comfortable to hold on turbo for more than a few minutesNo included carry options like pouch or lanyardThe flashlight is nearly perfectly round, making it prone to rolling if not stowed securely
Output steps down quickly from turbo to about 500 lumens after 1 minuteRelatively heavy and bulky for EDC (about 248 grams, 4.4 x 1.8 x 0.9 inches)Some users may find the UI or rotary switch unusual at first
