I don't know, looks good to me - no messy stuff under the star - it shows off that nice circular pattern on the pill top, and the custom u-ring is unique! The bubble button is pretty cool...
After I got that, I saw the one you got above on FastTech, but the FastTech description said “1 mode”, so I was curious if that was really 1-mode, so I bought that one (the one you have) also. That turned out to be really 1 mode, but that’s how I ended up with both of them.
And, no, the one I got was fine, in good shape, nothing like the one that you got :(…
looks like someone tried to torture it ..driver looks soldered on and the tails been opened ..the tail clickies are a weakness of this light..and contact issues with the drivers..Nice feeling host but a better buy at 10$almost anywhere else . I think heavy AAA lights should be avoided anyway .I kind of like the light but wouldn't ever recommend it or gift it .Too unreliable .
