Firstly congrats to Gearbest for the first inhouse flashlight :+1:
Also thanks to DB Customs, for his awesome review of this light.
From my personal experience with this light, i can say few things.
First the pros.
_
1. I will be a bit shallow here, but what firstly surprised me, was the quality of the packing - the box prints/material/presentation where awesome. It screamed quality to me. I know its not such an important thing, but it was really a nice change from the other lights i have seen so far.
2. The build quality of the light, no lose feel, clicking things, or anything. starting from the matching, anodizing and the buttons-feedback, are all near perfect imho, when you hold the light, you got such a nice feel and it feels like the light is in the 100$ + category, not budget light (price-wise), the buttons are very clicky and are build from sturdy materials, the back button is very strong and the feedback is really awesome, something that often is totally off on the lights in this price range - the material used from the buttons are also very good. Compared to my Jaxman E2 for example this light destroys it in terms of build quality, anodizing, buttons feedback, machining, and most importantly hotspot artifacts/rings, its much better.
3. The led tint is very nice,no greenish or bluish, or yellowish tints, pure neutral white (at least from my sample) there are no dark wholes in the hotspot as well, which is another thing i often see with the lights from this price range.
4. I also like the modes, they are decently spaced and i especially like the flare mode, which is even connected to the brand-name, which is a great idea- attention to detail imho again. Having the ability to boost to around 1250 lumens from light of this size is not very common.
5. The driver is also quite decent, and decently build i really like it.
6. The light is able to tailstand which is important to me.
7. The light comes with charging port, which is huge bonus for first time users, since they cant be bothered with chargers or spend additional funds on them, its alot more convenient this way. Its big bonus for flashlight enthusiast as well, since one more less thing to think of .
The cons,
The only “con” i can think of its my OCD, much more then a con, namely the ring which cover the charging port, is not 100% in angle with the light tube - this is total nitpick, much more then a real or ANY problem. For now, i don’t see anything other as a negative thing.
Overall im impressed for a first try, this is a very good showing! grats one more time Gearbest!
