I was lucky enough to get the "tactical" box, and this light appears and feels well made. Good construction, solid but not overdone clicky, smooth threading, good clip strength...it might spoil me on my standard for budget any lights. I was also surprised by the size. It's just a hair longer and a little wider than my Black Cat (AAA battery).
It's hard to compare the light output, since it's much floodier than other small lights, but I think that's good for headlight use.
I also tried 14500 and NiZn with success.
I would have to say 5 stars with the only possible exception being the headband clips. They work, but they're tight, and I'm not sure how long they will last if you take the light in/out a lot. However, I found out with the size, flood and clip you can just clip the light to your collar, and it makes a nice headband alternative especially if you're working with your hands out in front of you. I realize that puts the nerd factor through the roof, but hey, you can't hold back when you're fighting off the darkness.
I know members have had issues in the past with DinoDirect, but I have to give them 5 stars on my experience. Communication was good, shipping quick, free upgrade to registered mail, great product.
A big THANKS to Agenthex and Semur for putting this together. I hope there are more,and I hope the members that have contributed so much to BLF get another offer at least as good as this one.
