Awesome review. I agree on almost everything you mentioned. I’d like to see a 2700k - 3500k high cri temp version as well.
Thanks for the review. There is a GT-FC40 4500k version coming soon. Not keen on double clicking to turn on - a single click has usually sufficed since flashlights were invented! Anything that decreases the chance of the light actually turning on is a minus point in my opinion.
Yeah, I understand, and that's a common complaint.
I got used to the "double click for on" almost immediately, and because the flashlight has an electronic switch, the double click makes it so that the flashlight doesn't accidentally turn on in my pocket like my FW3A does. 
Agreed, I like the double-click for on when there’s an e-switch. I wish this was an option on more lights.
Reminds me of this old joke...
Quick question - what is the angle of the spill beam?
Nice review RC, good to hear your opinion on this light, I believe most of us either bought one or is thinking about it (I’m definitely thinking), I think they have one of the most beautiful design on the market, I too would like to see it in green and other colors but this shade of blue sure is beautiful in pictures.
Please update us after some time of EDC, it would be great to know how it handles daily use
Thanks again
RC, how do you find the beam profile outdoors? For me, the XHP70 is extremely floody. I have a ZL SC700d, which uses a larger reflector with its XHP70. For me, that seems about as floody as I would want the beam profile in order for it to be useful outdoors.
Aesthetically, the light is super appealing. If it were me, though, I’d do the Ti version, but with 14500 and something more reasonable for the LED (SFT40 or SST20) or aluminum in 18650 with, again, something a lot throwier than XHP70. The reason I suggest Ti in 14500 is both cost and heat - Titanium lights generally can’t even handle 18650-tier heat outputs, I don’t know who they’re kidding driving an XHP70 hard in a Ti light.
Is it regulated? Got enough DD lights. Holly molly, Amazon wants 95 bucks. No thanks.
Acebeam wants 75ish and if you poke around BLF there’s 10% codes to be had.
I'm not sure, but it seems pretty floody.
Nice review, thanks.
For some reason this light seems too big in my opinion.
I think it's a reasonably compact 21700 flashlight.
If that's too big, and maybe it is, then stick to compact 18650 flashlights. 
Can you put it up against a wall and measure the angle please?
I'm not going to do that, but maybe someone else will. 
FET drivers have high initial output, heat and battery drain. Brightness drops steadily as the battery drains. Regulated lights put out a constant brightness until the battery voltage drops to about 3.7 volts on high and then usually steps down to a constant medium level until about 2.8 or 3 volts.
Most regulated lights will still have thermal regulation though, so only put out a constant brightness after thermal regulation has balanced.
This is a nice light. It’s like 20x better than a convoy. Worth the money IMHO.
I think I’ll get one. Similar performance to the Convoy M21C/D, more compact, and looks amazing.
