I was fortunate enough to be gifted one of these lights, last year. It is a pretty tough little light, that i find great for closeup work, or that walk to the porcelain bus at three in the morning. It is my only ti light, and when sitting in the light cabinet, is like a little diamond amongst a sea of black. It is an XPG version, but still has a pleasing neutral/cool tint to its output. When on the keyring, you nearly forget its there. Its no bigger or heavier than a couple of extra keys. Have not had any worries with grit getting into the switch, but i can see how it may be a concern, if used in harsh enviroments. Personally, the mid, low, high ui is not a concern, and i guess it has to switch on, somewhere. Only downside was the financial controller started eyeing it off, and saying how nice it would be if slightly larger, and sitting on her bedside drawer. The aquisition of a SWM T10T solved that and gained some valuable man-points for me. The brass highlight is a nice touch, also.
