My hand for some size reference.

If I had to build a light for the above average Joe this would be it. It’s bright, doesn’t roll from were you set it. It manages heat well, not getting too hot and is small enough to fit in a pocket. It runs on a 26650 for plenty of run time. Only has one opening and is truly waterproof. It feels solid no sense of flimsy anywhere on it. That battery status light keeps you from guessing or topping off too much. If I had to improve anything it would be to replace the o-ring with a silicon o-ring for their toughness. As a true flashaholic I like it, but am now truly waiting for the divers version. We flashlight junkies know not to run that turbo mode until the leds melt of their pads. For everyone else this is a great light, for us its a good starting point. Looking at the flashlights that Maxtoch has lined up I believe their on the right track with quality lights.
