I received the light today, much sooner than I expected. What a pleasant surprise! Been playing with it for a few hours now.
Compared to my ZL lights, the H03 tint is much more yellowish and greenish. I am not a tint snob, so I don't really care about that. As long as I can see what
I am working on, I am fine with most tints. But for comparison purposes, tints of my ZL lights are more pleasing.
I had high hope for the side switch, but it's been a PIA to use. Holding the head between my forefinger and thumb to rotate the light is how I adjust the beam
angle. It's been working great with the ZL lights because their lights have the switch on the head. The side switch on the H03 means I am touching the switch
and actually turning it on and off accidentally while adjusting the beam. Very annoying. I am learning the rotate the tail instead, for this light.
The press and hold to turn off takes some serious mental adjustment, as I am used to the ZL UI. Double clicking to go to the sub mode has to be done very quickly. Otherwise, it will go to the next mode. It still goes to the next mode even when I thought I have double clicked fast enough. I have missed this about six times already. Never have this problem with my ZL lights. Super annoying.
Since this light only cost me $30, can I make excuses for it? You know like, "it's a great light for the price.", or "what do you expect for a $30 light?" No, I can't.
I have no regret buying it though. I consider it a $30 experiment.
