Pros: Very bright and floody. Two modes very usefull, no useless strobe/sos.Pretty good finish. Threads are lubed.Aluminum reflector and a glass lens.
Cons: Not regulated. My unit overdrives led at full battery (3.4A measured at the tail cap).Two levels are ok but I'd really prefer starting at low power. Sometimes I really miss the medium level like sku 12060 has.Direct driving means you'll need a protected battery.
Other Thoughts: Heatsinking might need some improvement and high current needs lowering. Light output drops considerably within a few seconds when overdriven led heat up.Pill seems to stick and is not easily removed in case you'd want to modify it.
Bottomline: Very good light for the price.
Pros: Not a lot bigger than some name brand 18650 lights.Bright!Clickie works well.Built and finished nicely.
Cons: Beam is a little goofy. Seems like reflector won't go down enough.Not quite as bright as I imagined.
Other Thoughts: In my backyard test area it did put light as far as any of my other lights, and more of it than most!I may try sandpaper on glass to remove just a wee bit from the reflector bottom. If I try to space it up at all a hole appears.
Bottomline: I think if all you know are Q5 and R2 lights, this will surprise you!Thanks for looking!
Pros: I bought this as a bicycle light for my wife. She loves it! Its small size with a single battery makes it convenient. Carrying the spare battery is not a problem
Cons: Runtime may be short for some people; in this case I think it's a good trade-off versus its size.
Other Thoughts: Run time is about one and a half hours, but it will dim noticeably towards the end. I think this is a good thing; telling you to change the battery.
Bottomline: Works great in this application. I bought this, a charger, two batteries, a handlebar mount, and a taillight all at once. Instant bike visibility at a great price!
Pros: I've had six different cree-lights before and a few maglites (including their top of the line rechargeable) but this light is outstanding. If I use any of the old cree's besides this one it's lika putting a second world war searchlight next to a candle. The rechargeable Mag is vey strong but this one beats it anyway. And this is a lot smaller than the Mag. The casing feels very good in your hand and build quality feels very good.
Cons: Not 900 lumen! But strong enough for this size.
Other Thoughts: None
Bottomline: If You need a strong light you can hold in Your hand, buy this one!
