Pros: Feels good in your hand, very well made, has some weight to it.
Fits SKU 1993 holster perfectly so I switch between the two for my EDC. I use 14500 batteries, very bright. This is an all purpose light, it will light up the night or the interior of a printer, good thrower as well as a good work light
Cons: Threads come dry and gritty, clean and lubricate and they'll be fine.
Other Thoughts: I just bought 7 more of these to sell/give to friends that loved the light also. This light does not have the contact issues that SKU 1993 has, it works every time I push the switch.
Bottomline: Buy a couple or they'll end up "missing" Extra holsters can be had from that bidding site. Buy some for Mom and Dad too. DX, make the holsters for sku 1993 available please
This is a great little flash light

Pros: Very compact.
Very powerful.
Easy to disassemble.
Threads are strong.
Twisting caps on and off is silky smooth.
Cons: small scratch on the exterior of the case...Very small i got over it very quickly.
Battery not included.
Doesnt come in pink
Other Thoughts: This will be a great light to keep in my cars glove compartment. One day when im trapped in 3 feet of show, i know i will be able to use this light to guide me out of the wild, back to civilization....
Bottomline: I would love to own a few more.

Pros: + Made of good quality, durable material
+ Splashproof
+ Works with both Alkaline AAs and NiMHs
+ Gives lots of light for quite a long time (over an hour for 1 AA)
+ Small, fits in a pocket
Cons: - Gets a bit hot after ~10 minutes
- Light is a bit blueish (but I wouldn't expect warm white light from it)
Other Thoughts: I haven't tested it with 14500 (waiting for stock ;)), but as for me, it gives enough light from AA battery. I also haven't own a Cree flashlight before, so I can't compare it to other ones, but I was quite amazed about how much light this little fellow can give.
Bottomline: I think it's quite cheap, good quality Cree-based flashlight. It is small, light and fits in a pocket. Surely would buy again.
You may also be interested in a 5-mode one, which is sku.30986.
