Rechargeable Function

Pros:
  • Excellent throw with large hot spot.
  • Nice tint! 5700K?
  • Good runtime
  • Big and smooth reflector for throw
  • Intuitive operation
  • No noticeable PWM; PWM is an issue for a few with super sensitive eyes and pose efficiency issues?
  • Strap is helpful for extended usage/carry.

Cons:

  • $299 retail is a bit high, but much more palatable in the low $200s

Nitpicks:

  • No tool included for replacing the switch cover.
