It is a great light! It is one of the few Q5 lights I own that isn't plagued by the Q5 artifacts. It has a very smooth hotspot/spill transition. It is built like a tank and is quite quite durable, but weight-wise, it isn't a light I would want as an EDC. It has a so-so clip but quite a nice holster, which for me would be the way to carry it. However, I am not a holster kind of guy so mine sits in a drawer most of the time. Occasionally, I take it out on an evening walk when the weather is nice. Although it is somewhat heavy, it is nicely balanced and feels good in the hand.
