Pros: -This light is very very bright.
-Nice design.
-Perfectly use with universal bike mount (sku.8274) and holster (sku.5250)
-Good for use on bike, beam is wide (distance to wall 5m and diameter beamshot on wall is 1,2m)
Cons: -Little bit hot, after 5 minutes it was about 40°C.
-O-ring near tailcap was damaged (in my light) - It was replaced (sku.5648)
-Reflector is put litte excentric on LED (0,5mm hole - one side LED)
-LED module is stick with body of flashlight - 2 piece body doesn´t unscrew
-No wrist lace
Other Thoughts: Low mode is very low. I changed resistor from 8 Ohm to 4Ohm, and now light output at low is like a CREE Q5.
Weight: 198g (with 18650 protected cell)
Bottomline: Good product, take this if you want bikelight without modding. High mode is well in forest at night ride.
very useful

Pros: BRIGHT!!!!Very useful flood, and throw far enough for walking in dark places. Other leds cannot compare at the moment.
Cons: HOT!!!!, but still bearable after 5 mins.
Badly scratched reflector but still usable (after all it is textured).
Other Thoughts: When you have seen how bright this is and use it, you won't want to use the 'other' torch/flashlight.
Bottomline: Coupled with the service from DX,you won't regret buying it.(Bought 2nos and 1 was defective, Super service agent Nicole was on top of the problem in no time.
Satisfied

Pros: Bright! Pulls tops at 3.04 amps at the battery on a fully charged trustfire protected. Hot spot is about 1.5 to 2x larger than a rc-t5 to my eyes. Reflector is much deeper than a C2. Low mode is about as bright as a single mode C3 in 2AA. High mode is pretty bright, brighter than t5 but doesn't throw as far since the spot is not as tight. Finish is clean no dings or marks.
Cons: Clicky broke almost immediately, felt it wasnt working right from the beginning. Had to swap clickies from my wf-400 (uses same resistor). The tactical crown has only two full rounds of threads! Has a donut hole in the middle same as the sample pic.
Other Thoughts: I don't think this has a copper heat sink. But since it gets warm fast on high atleast it has good heat transfer. When I was doing amp readings you can actually see the amp go up from 2.6 to 3.0! I initially thought it was pulling 2.6 amps but when I kept the leads on it kept going up and up!
Bottomline: A good buy for me.
