I would regard it much more highly if not for the fact that I have a Sofirn C8G to compare it to. I like the Sofirn better in nearly every category except battery capacity and the ability to charge it in the light. Neither of those two things are important to me. The C8G is almost as small, and also an outstanding pocket thrower. It does not get as hot quickly as the Wowtac, and is usually a bit less expensive. I also prefer the 1 button approach of the Wowtac better, but that too is not high on my preference. The specs are nearly identical for throw of the 2 lights. The Sofirn has a slightly higher maximum lumens at 2000 lumens. Now here is a huge advantage in my opinion. The Sofirn has all the protections that are on protected batteries built into the light itself, so there is not a need for protected batteries. That is really good because 21700 protected cells will not fit in most chargers. Being a vape user, I have many unprotected samsung 30t and 40t batteries. In my opinion, Sofirn lights are nearly all extremely high quality for the money. Don’t get me wrong, the Wowtac is a very nice light, and I have 2 of these exact lights. I also have 2 of the Sofirn C8G. Both are IPX8 rated for water resistance, but that is provided the rubber plug over the mini usb port is properly seated on the Wowtac. The Sofirn is on average about 10 bucks cheaper, which is significant since in my opinion it is the better light. The throw of the Sofirn at least matches the Wowtac, and unprotected batteries are significantly less costly, as is the light itself. Two of my favorite budget lights are the Sofirn C8G, and the Astrolux FT03 SST40-W, which is in my opinion the best thrower for the money period. How Astrolux sells that light for less than 40 bucks is a mystery to me. There is a lot of bang for the buck with that Astrolux, which is rated about 300 meters higher in throw than either the Sofirn or Wowtac. I also believe it will do the 875 meter rated throw.
