| Pros | Excellent spot light capability, wide evenly lit flood beam, above average in most ways |
| Cons | Below average battery life, claimed battery life is wildly misleading, single button hard to use, lame waterproofing |
| Bottom Line | A quality, durable, and bright light that hits the sweet spot for most people's needs, despite dubious marketing claims |
