This is my first review but I will try my best. The only tools I have to rate the light is by eye so it will be basic.
The finish looks great and the engraving is a great addition. The light is very small and fits into the hand very well.
The light output is better than I expected a lot better than the old minimag. The 5C looks white when compared on the white ceiling next to the mag. The light also gives off more light then the Inova 24/7 on high.
The head switch is very smooth and tightens down to turn on. The switch is also spring loaded so that the batteries do not rattle when the light is off.
The batteries are inserted by removing the bezel and dropping them in the barrel nose down unlike most.
The light has three perfectly white leds then has a very green tint and a light green tinted led next to each that project dimmer than the others causing an off center beam to be projected.
The protective lip around the rim of the bezel works as a slight reflector and causes ring to be reflected. This is not bad, but if projected against the ceiling it is noticeable. It’s just a little distracting. If the lip could be filed off it would fix the problem.
Have not had the opportunity to take it outside at night yet to see how it looks. I will try to soon.
