This light has good build quality and is very compact in size. Features plastic lens and reflector cups (as usual for MXDL lights). Although output power is rated to be 3W by the manufacturer expect something less as the light uses a China-made generic high power LED bulb. Expect about an hour of continuous usage with a single CR123A battery. This light also takes rechargeable 3.6V CR123A and output is actually a little brighter..

Overall, not bad for the price.

Pros: Bright output for its size.
Nice finish.
Clean threads.
Excellent battery life.
Very good thermal conductivity.
Nice beam pattern.
 
Cons: Plastic reflector.
Metal shavings left in body.
No o-ring on lens.
The light is tinted too purple for me, but that's just preference.
A few metal burrs here and there.
 
Other Thoughts: The light heats up very quickly. This is both good and bad. Good because it shows that the pill is transferring heat to the body efficiently. Bad because there's not much metal to hold all that heat. If you're not holding it, it gets quite hot in about 2-3 minutes. If you're holding it, the heat is dissipated into your hands, and the light takes longer to heat up.
 
Bottomline: This is a great light, and it's cheap too :) I'm planning on putting in a P4 in the near future. Also planning on buying another to use as a host for a compact blu-ray laser.
 
					

Very happy and more than I expected!

Pros: I am very pleased with the output of this light. I have had over an hour of runtime so far on one of the trustfires from here on dx. The machining quality of the casing is very good, even excellent and the threads fit very nicely between the head and the body. The design is quite unique.
 
Cons: The hole which is drilled for the wrist-strap/lanyard tore out as it was drilled to close to the end of the casing. However due to the design of the actual unit it would have been hard to avoid this during manufacture. It isn't a con really as I still love the light!
 
Other Thoughts: Drill the hole for the lanyard/wrist strap on an angle as to avoid coming close to the edge.
 
Bottomline: Great, very bright, uniquely designed little light with the mxdl logo. Perfect for your keys or placing in your car which I have done.

Not perfect, but good for the price

Pros: Small. Lightweight. Relatively cheap. Bright enough to be really useful but no too much to drain batteries in minutes. Good external appearance, looks a bit futuristic.
 
Cons: Build quality is not so good. O ring is nearly useless as it is poor quality and wrong size. Lot of debris inside, including reflector and lens. Emitter was not tightened enough on two of three units, and there is no any seal around lens. Heavy burrs around lanyard hole. Lanyard itself is really poor quality, on one of my units i pulled it out of plastic piece while removed light from the package.
 
Other Thoughts: What about extension tube to be able to load 17670 rechargeables to this light?
 
Bottomline: Not so bad for price, if you don't mind to disassemble it to clean and deburr all around. ;) Good emergency light that you can have in a pocket.

Small, cheap light

Pros: Very small, compact light. Perfect for carrying around in the pocket and putting in the glovebox of the car.
This light is a twisty, so no need to worry about switch failure.
Also, this light uses RCR123 easily so no need to waste money on primaries
 
Cons: This light is nowhere near 3W
The output is nearly the same as my 0.5W cree light.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Get a few to give to family members for emergencies. These lights are extremely cheap and reliable for emergencies. Also, the runtime is much better than the higher watt lights.
