(Snide) COMMENTS
  • Good performer
  • Solid construction
  • Optic produces ring-y beam that's only somewhat noticable in real use
  • Lack of knurling or projections along body makes gripping light somewhat difficult
  • Included sheath is disappointing
  • ~280mA current draw - light should run for approx 5 hours
  • Battery insertion is opposite of the standard "positive first"
  • Light throws well
