I love small, powerful, hi-tech, beautifully designed and made flashlights (like so many of us). Here's what I love about these 5:
I've asked Olight if the clips can be safely removed, without damaging the light's surface underneath them. The clips seem to have enough play to be removed by pulling. The clips are actually nice, and make it easy to find the mode button just by feel, but I don't think I really need them, although I'm undecided as yet.
- Knurling is high and very well done. Beautiful.
- Magnetic base charger is awesome and quick.
- Beautiful beam, with a very good throw as well as brightness. Normally I like cool white beams, say 6500K. But with these, I even like the 3000K warm beam of Winter.
- Very small, vest pocketable, lights with very bright and throwy beams.
- Blue bezel is lovely. The finish and color of all 5 are 1st rate.
- UI is one of my very favorites. Double click to go right to 1K LU. Long hold to go to moonlight. Smooth ramp down on turning off (really cool!). Quick on and off.
- Charge-level light in button. Quick to charge.
- Easy to use mode button. So easy to press and click.
- The Cu version is especially gorgeous, as they tend to be. It's UNC (uncirculated, to coin collectors) in its delivered, sealed, deoxygenizing package. I haven't been able to bring myself to open its packaging yet. I'll save it like a fine vintage wine, for that special occasion.... But soon....
- These far surpassed my expectations. I love all 5 versions, even Winter.
- Getting the full set at 30% of was really nice too.
