Pros: For the price this is a surprisingly good light. The body is thick, and sturdy. The threads on mine were smooth, and the anodizing covered them. The quality of this light is far better to me than my ultrafire C2. The tail switch feels good, and its responsive. Great combination of a large hot spot and bright spill, this light may not be a huge "thrower", but it casts a beam of "usable" light about 50-75 yards. The emitter color in mine is not bad, seems fairly white.

Cons: The emitter was not centered in mine, it was up against one side of the reflector. I re-glued it. The heat sinking could be better. The drop in module barely touches the sides of the light so the pill has to get pretty hot before transferring the heat to the body. Strobe is a big CON for me. I could do without the pocket clip too, and the light is a little bit slippery because of a lack of knurling on the grip. The tail stand is iffy at best.

Other Thoughts: Even on high the emitter seemed slightly under driven, and it made a high pitched whining noise. I modified mine to be direct drive, I think it is brighter now and I can barley hear that noise if at all.

Bottomline: This light is quality "for the money", I have had lots of fun with mine after only a few days. I would recommend it to others.

Pros: - the body is nice. lens is really clear.
- can tailstand.
- it's a p60 host, easy to swap the emmitter if needed (if you want more throw).
- the output is total flood. the spill is really bright.
- it's small. could be EDC-able.
- a fast test give me at least 80 minutes of bright light with protected grey trustfires.
- heat management is not so bad.
- it's cheap for a next gen
mce emmitter.

Cons: - there is a little whinning from the pill.
- a low mode would be useful.

Other Thoughts: it's a cheap light for EDC purposes.
the output is floody, don't buy it for throw. the aurora AK p7 8 modes is brighter but bigger, more expensive and has less autonomy.
the light become hot after a while but it does not affect the output or the behavior of the light.

Bottomline: it's a bargain. you got a nice p60 host + MCE pill for 33 USD.

Pros: Nice and bright! only 3 modes "I really hate the mode stuff, on & off are the only modes I want".
Pocket clip is a plus, "I'm also tired of the useless strap thingy"
Wide flood and bright beam! Its not as bright as my SSCP7, but that also uses 2 batteries and has a larger heat sink. So this is in no way a con.

Cons: POOR build quality, only after a few days the tail cap is stripped.
3 Modes... good grief, enough with the modes, ya spend more time button pushing that using the darn thing!

Other Thoughts: I removed the module and put it into the diehard Ultrafire WF-502B and now I have a flashlight thats usable!

Bottomline: Buy one and put the module in a quality Ultrafire WF-502B 3W Cree 18650 Flashlight, Then you got yourself something usable.
Ditch the modes please! and how about a forward clicky? I like those!

Pros: I find TrustFire brand lights to have good build qualities. This light is solid has a nice defined clicky, threads are clean and feels solid. I like the idea of only 3 modes instead of all that sos stuff I really don't need.

Cons: I expected the brightness of the Cree MC-E to do dances around the Q5's. However my Trust Fire TR-801 rated at 230 lumens is in fact brighter with greater spill-over than this one. I also find the light on the MC-E to be more off-white, while the Q5's give a much whiter light.

Other Thoughts: None

Bottomline: If you are buying this light for brightness, don't waste your money. You'll be better off with a good quality Q5 which gives off a much brighter and whiter light. Build quality is good but I can get a comparable Q5 for lower cost.
