Pros: + great brightness+ compact handy size+ sealed design (water proof? not tested :) yet)+ great choice of modes+ o-rings is factory lubed+ modes: Mid=Hi=Fast strobe=Low=3Hz strobe=1Hz strobe=SOS=Special police mode strobe (one second fast strobe batch then one second pause, 2 second cycle total)+ solid build+ feed by only one 18650 Li-ion battery+ has a visible sticker inside of the barrel with memo about correct battery type and polarity usage printed on it+ fits both protected (sku.5790) and unprotected (sku.933, in my case 2200 mAh) cells without the need to use magnets at positive end as extenders.
Cons: - I can confirm as stated by another user in forum that after light is getting hot sometimes it works as two-mode only light with high and mid (low?) state.When shut off for a while it will returns to the normal behavior.- Also there is no mode memory, light returns to a mid state after 1 minute or continue cycling through the modes if clicked within 60 sec.- Battery is little rattling inside of the barrel end due to design of the tail cap switch (all Aurora lights?). Trick - use small piece of paper as shown on picture (will upload soon ). This will fix an issue with rattling.
Other Thoughts: * Unit has too much modes which is little annoying to switch between. I would prefer 3 group modes arranged something like in this module (sku.7612)* Fits both holsters sku.1152 and sku.5250.I recommend sku.1152. Holster sku.807 does not fit.* Comes with no strap and it's not possible to attach it without modding because no corresponding hole provided. Cannot be use as a candle because of the bottom switch is little jut out.* Size is just slightly bigger than WF-501B.* Emitter tint is close to cold bluish white (seems to be SSC P7 CSXOI) and different than used in sku.14212 (I think CSWOI, more greenish)* Weight is 133g / 180g loaded with sku.5790* Visible P7 pattern at close distances (as with all P7 lights)* Seems to be more flooder than thrower (compared to sku.14212).
Bottomline: I recommend this light if you have not owned P7-based light before.
Pros: It is very well build. The light is very very bright. I don't have other flashlight to compare, but it is really impressive.The 8 modes are crazy to use. I guess it is usefull in case of car accident.
Cons: I don't know any cons.Note that special batteries and charger are needed.
Other Thoughts: I bought also:01251 UltraFire 3.6/3.7V Battery Charger05790 TrustFire Protected 18650 Lithium Battery (2500mAh 2-Pack Blue).
Bottomline: I recommend this product for someone looking for the most powerfull flashlight!
