Some stats from Kathmandu:
LED: XP-E Q3 Cree
Water resistance: IPX4
Weight: 88g (including batteries)
Overall the packaging is nothing spectacular but that is not a big problem (actually getting the light out of the package is)

The all of the instructions & information for the light are on the package, you can also see the accessories included with the light, in the next photos.

Accessories included in the package is a run of the mill, generic wrist strap & one Duracell battery.
I have emailed the company to find out if it will work with Lithium &/or Enloop batteries & I will let you know what I find out.
The light itself has a similar design to the Nitecore Defender Infinity light. It has semi aggressive knurling & an attempt at an anti roll device. The build quality to my best guess is some where between M@g and Fenix levels but should hold up to most use.

The tail cap is shrouded & is not able to tail stand. The switch is a forward clicky with three modes (high, low & SOS) that are accessed sequentially by using the switch. They come with bright orange boots (switch covers).
The switch takes a bit of force to actuate which should help to reduce accidental activations.
The ones on the left & middle:

The light fits nicely in hand & is not excessively long like some single AA cell lights.

The packaging claims that this light gives out up to 65 lumen's (high mode) with a 1.5 hour run-time and up to 20 lumen's (low mode) with a 6 hour run-time. As for the lumen's claims, by my best guestamate these claims seem to hold water.
The beam is a mixture of throw & flood leaning more towards throw & does have a few artifacts in the beam but nothing too major. The tint to my untrained eye leans more towards a high CRI than cool white.
Unfortunately I am unable to do any beam shots.
I have been using this light for several days & I am more than happy with it. To me this light would make a nice EDC or gift.
