MY OPINION IS AS FOLLOWS
My Pros: Very bright white beam.
Throws a long long way! With a tight spot and little spill. (I wanted a thrower)
Lit up a garage at 1200 feet away and spotted a raccoon infront of that garage! I know this sounds amazing but I am 100% positive of what I saw. (maybe I won the cree lottery, lol)
Build quality was very good and feels solid.
Threads were smooth with double o-rings.
Finish was perfect.
Smooth very deep reflector. (IMO this is a pro if you want a long thrower)
No battery rattle at all! (This bugs me about my $60 Inova XO3, it rattles a lot)
Useful low power mode.
My Cons: The description stated it was a 18650 only version but was sent the multipower 3.6-9v version.
My Other Thoughts: Mapsource and Garmin GPS used for distances.
I will buy another one, to be honest I will probably buy two more, lol. There were two very small smudges on the reflector and no dust visable.
My Bottomline: Please remember this is a $28 light and for $28 you can NOT go wrong or find a better thrower as this thing throws a great bright beam a long way. As you can tell I am very impressed. IMO build quality (at least with the lights I have received) was better then my Inova's (XO3 2007 version, XO original and X1) or Mags (4D Incan or 2D LED). But not as good as the Tiablo or MRV's that I have seen but that is to be expected.
In my opinion and with samples I have held build quality goes in this order.
1. MRV
2. Tiablo
3. WF-600
4. Inova (XO3 2007 model, XO original, X1)
5. Mag
