Pros: -Great flashlight, small and well built, feels solid in hand, tough building
-Mine came with no scratches or flaws at all, and the glass lens fits perfectly
-Very bright on high, useful mid and low.
-Drop-in is smooth for more throw, but the beam is incredibly clean with no ugly rings, and above all, perfectly focused.
-Battery doesn't rattle, o-rings are placed where needed. There are 2 gum-rings on the body that surely improve grip.
-Memory mode works fine, very useful, there is no flickering neither in low mode, light's colour seems ok to me, very clean white.
Cons: Sos mode is totally useless, strobe is nice and really effective but too slow to select for tactical use, 'cause you have to switch 3 modes o reach it.
Bezel crown could be a con if you want to carry this flashlight in your pocket, but it isn't too sharp.
Other Thoughts: I've lubed the threads, and I'll try to improve thermal coupling of the dropin with thermal grease and aluminium foils.
Bottomline: Seems to be a very nice EDC flashlight, for this price is surely a best buy on DX!
Very impressed!

Pros: -This light is bright
-It throws well but has a nice enough spill as well
-build quality surpasses that of the ultrafires and trustfires i have owned
-my lens and o-ring have NO problem with fit :)
-this light is my first with memory and i must say it works well and i dont know how i've gone without it!
-strobe is nice and disorienting!
Cons: wow. hmmm.
-threads and o-rings needed a bit of lube
-light came with a few small nicks in the finish (no big deal though)
Other Thoughts: overall, this light seems to be very quality. It is bright, efficient and seems like it will be a great reliable light!
Bottomline: For the price, this is one of the better lights on DX. Its not putting out 900 lm but for everyday and camping use, this thing rocks.
I cannot wait to try it out on the canoe trip this weekend. Paddling through the night, i am trusting this light will help me find the portages and get through the bush :D
Bright!

Pros: Bright torch. Seems to be very efficient (very little heat is produced). Does not seem overdriven when using 18650. Not too throwy (I have a thrower for WOW factor but it is not as useful as this). Memory works very well. Thick lens, solid body. Hope it will last a long time.
Cons: Medium mode too weak and low mode too bright (They are almost the same to me). Does not fit my pocket.
- Blinking modes.
- Did I mention useless (to me) blinking modes?
Other Thoughts: I never needed it, but I still like it a lot.
O ring is placed behind the lens.
Bottomline: Very nice but not perfect.
Worth the money....

Pros: Very solid. After you have managed to center the glass and the o-ring... Not a thrower, but nice overall beam... Works fine whith protected 18650. Fits in your pocket.
Cons: Glass lens is 1-2mm to small for perfect fit. Also some work whith the dropin. You should ad some thermal grease for perfect fit.
Other Thoughts: The build quality and machinig are impressing for the price. Whith some more efforts in perfect fit of the lens and the o-ring this might be a bestseller. There is much headroom for mod´s at all....
Bottomline: I would strongly recommend this product if you are searching something whith more "beam" than pricely compareable P7 flashlights. And after you have managed to center oring and glass lens, fixed it whith the bezel, never open it again on the frontside... This is a good deal...
