Great for the money
By M. Bahnson
This in truth is a great flashlight for the money. It’s each bit as bright as the D-Cell maglight I equated it to. The fit and finish of the elements that make up this flashlight are very good quality giving careful consideration to the price point. Good fine threading on the base and the shroud, a real polished aluminum reflector rather than crome plated plastic is a nice touch.
Several components lead to the fifth star coming off.
First, and foremost, there is no “on-off” switch per say. There are two setups availible for this light, the temp button or the pressure switch. Neither will concede you to tap-on or tap-off like a good deal of of the higher priced units. Having to hold down the pressure switch may lead to numerous reliability issues in a tense situation, and not having the pressure switch may be cumbersome depending on weapon choice. You may always screw the back in all the way to get it to stay on, but that’s not a very tactical nor very fast. (especially on a shotgun)
Second, the mounting hardware included with the light is just a couple of thousands of an inch too big. When you crank down the allen screw that tightens the grip on the light’s barrel, it just doesn’t get rather tight sufficient for a good deal of heavier apps like shotguns. If you’ll be mounting this on an AR platform or something with light recoil, it shouldn’t be a factor for you. But if you’re getting this distinctively for a high recoil weapon like a shotgun, prepare to be buying goods for a new mounting bracket soon.
Lastly, attention to detail in final assemblage is not what it must be. The lamp is mated to the reflector thru very fine threads that may effortlessly be cross-threaded and sure enough, they were cross-threaded right out of the box. This affects beam size, brightness, placement as well as the lights capacity to handle recoil.
Be sure to field strip this light down to the bones and put it back together with outstanding care. I added numerous brake grease to the threads to support with threading and water resistance and once the lamp and the reflector were mated correctly, the beam was perfectly concentered and VERY bright.
Overall I perfectly love the light. It’s a outstanding deal for the money, I’ll in all likelihood be buying a second one to carry isolated from weapon mounting. There are just a few issues that cost it that last star.

Amazing for the Money!
By Chris Schroth
This flashlight is exceedingly bright, rock solid design with no rattles or looseness. I did have to interchange the tactical slide on mount for a new one that in truth fit and tightened around the light case (reason for not giving it 5 stars) But once that was fixed, it fits like a glove on my gun! LOVE IT!!! Amazing product for the inexpensive price!! Other $200-$300 lights i have tested aren’t even this bright!

decent flashlight for the cost
By M. Gomez
i put this on my 12ga shotgun. it works just fine. heavy, sturdy, bright, and comes with a strobe function. the strobe does have to be cycled through on “clicks” but it is half the price of my other gun mounted light. i think it is worth the money. the pressure switch is straight forward but replaces the flashlights backscrew giving you only the pressure switch to turn it on/off.
