Few months ago I asked about this light since it was incredibly cheap (compared to Surefire) yet it had amazing power. SInce it came from Pelican I knew that some kind of quality is there but nobody seemed to buy this light, everyone was still hooked up on Surefire. I used this light in mountains of Peru and during camping trips but the most important use it got was during blackout.

I gave this light a try and here are some observations:
-it is very well made but it has that rough feel to it. I mean it seams like it was finished all right but they forgot to put a final touch on it. In comparison with smooth finish of Surefire this one kind of lacks the "woman touch". I prefer it thou because it will not slip out of my hand.
-it is very powerful and beam is bright and clear. During blackout I worked in pitch dark on unconcious patient with only M6 being held over my head by a pedastrian. It was enough light for everything and than some.
-they claim that batteries are 60 min only. I know I've been using mine for more than an hour and it is going strong.
-prolonged use make it very hot.
-case that is included is a strong durable condura case but there is no place for spare batteries..
-rear switch is temporary on and off, it's not a full switch like on ARC LS. You have to screw the tail cap on all the way to get continious light. Not a problem in most situations but it is one when you hands are full.
-it is waterproof. I used it on the river to fish washed in gear. Didn't go deeper than 10 feet.

This light is a bargain. I have one in silver so I can't tell anything on how black will wear out (I heard some complains). BUT if you drop your light, leave it somewhere or missplace it silver will stand out and reflect much more than black.

With above torch my ligth arsenal consits of Inova X5, ARC LS, photons, krills, flashing led bike lights, MS2000 and pelican strobes and couple of Zipka headlamps. I belive strongly in being able to see and being seen.

Cheers mates,
