Pros: Very bright for a small led flashlight.

Very simple to use. The focus action by pulling or pushing the front lens part is especially useful; you can do it with one hand, freeing the other hand to do other stuff.

Cons: It is the described SOS mode which made me purchase the flashlight. But I am disappointed to see it is only a strobe mode, i.e. the light blinks at a constant frequency. A true SOS signal should be 3 short,3 long, 3 short signals. I strongly advise DX to correct their description as it is misleading.

Other Thoughts: I do not find the LO light mode useful as people are looking for brighter and brighter flashlights. This mode only cause the switch to wear out faster. AAA batteries are readily available and LED lights are energy efficient, so staying in HI light mode won't be a problem.

Bottomline: A good flashlight for its price. The push and pull focus mechanism is especially useful. I will purchase one with a single mode if there is no true SOS signal as described. Correct the description or sell one with true SOS signal please.

Impressive flashlight!
