I've had this light for about 3 months now and this is a nicely finished, compact, very bright light that you can charge at home, in your car, or from a portable power bank thanks to the built-in USB charging port. It accepts any protected or unprotected 18650 cell, button top or flat top. I strongly suggest using the battery that it comes with or any high quality Samsung, Panasonic, Sanyo, Sony, or LG 18650 battery, and buy it from a reputable dealer. The UI is very simple and extremely easy to learn. You have three choices of brightness at turn on. Press and hold for about 1-1.5 seconds and you get a true firefly/moonlight mode. Or one quick press and you get your last used mode from memory (low, medium, or high). Or double press and go straight to turbo mode. Once the light is on, all you have to do to cycle thru the levels of low, medium, and high, is just press and hold the button.
The light is small and very bright, so it will get hot! This happens to all small, high power flashlights. There's no way around that. Well there is, but you have to go with a less powerful light or get a much larger light that can dissipate the heat that's generated.
Now here's the but. My only complaint with this light is that it has no electronic lock out. So if you carry it in your pocket or put it in a carry bag, you have to, or at least should, slightly unscrew the tail cap to be safe from accidental turn on.
A few things I forgot to mention. For this being considered a cool white led, it's got no hint of blueish tint to it at all. It could just be my sample, but I'd call it a bright natural white at around 5700k. In a side by side comparison, there's hardly any discernable difference between this led and the high CRI Nichia 219C 5700k led's in my Convoy S12. Even the color rendition is excellent. Also, just an added bonus, my Convoy S12 (21700 battery), my Astrolux EC01 (21700 battery) and MF01 Mini (26650 battery), my Sofirn SP31 and SP32, and my Wowtac A1S all fit in the holster that is supplied with this light. And it's also supplied with one of the largest lanyards I've ever received with a light. I don't use them, but you can easily get your hand through this one, even if you have large hands.
