Tl;Dr: The brightness is jaw-dropping. I cannot understate how impressive this light is outside in the dark. It heats up and steps down very quickly though. The build quality, brightness, beam shape, and throw are excellent. Regulation is great. The UI, switches are good. The price is high but understandable. The clip and sustained brightness is mediocre. The built in batteries are a shame. If you want the absolute brightest thing you can reasonably put in your pocket and carry around, this is it.

I was not expecting two replaceable 18650 cells. Non-replaceable battery was the bad part of the flat EDC series.
They aren’t user replaceable. They are soldered or welded in.
Nice review, too bad about the batteries. When will manufacturers learn.
Who is going to be the first to build a quality flat torch with replaceable batteries?
Wuben and Loop Gear both already have. Also Acebeam’s flat EDC light has a replaceable pouch cell.
