The build quality, included accessories, beam shape, switches, charging, throw performance (with a full battery), runtime, battery indicator, and tail switch UI are fantastic. The proprietary battery is a shame. The side switch UI and regulation performance are terrible, and I think those are going to be big issues for people that really use this light. I wish they had focused on getting those fundamental things right instead of reinventing the remote switch. Hopefully Olight can fix those major issues in the next version.

Nice review. I think Acebeam is a better deal in this high end category.
I agree. I’d choose an Acebeam P20 over this for most use cases.
I’m testing this one also. Shame about the regulation. That’s not something that everyday users will probably even recognize though. This light seems to be designed for hunting more than anything else. The Nitecore MH40S is similar.
