Pros: Small and compact for my use. Very bright and instantly blinding. Better distance thrower with the smooth reflector vs. textured.
Cons: Narrow body (middle). Doesn't work properly with "Gray" Ultrafire 18650 batteries. You have to back the tail cap off 3/4 to 1 turn. Works perfectly using "Blue" UniqueFire 18650 batteries. No Lanyard or hole. Writing on body imperfect. Threads need cleaning, a bit gritty.
Other Thoughts: This will be used for Police Work. I've had a MagCharger for 22 years and this light overpowers it in brightness and realistic Police work.
Bottomline: Excellent value, size and output. Buying another for a buddy as a gift.
Excellent

Pros: Man, this thing is bright!! I have two 900 lumen torches and this is at least twice as bright, outshines car headlights and, when strapped to my bike, will let me go as fast as daylight off road. Really impressed with output and build quality is up with usual Aurora standard.
Cons: Gets hot very quickly on high power, not sure if all of the modes will be useful.
Other Thoughts: I have a friend who has just spent about the same on a LED Lenser torch. Although his build quality is superior, in terms of output this thing blows his away, no contest.
Bottomline: The brightest small torch I have ever seen. Although quite expensive absolutely worth the money. If you want to wow your friends and have a very useful bit of kit then this is for you. Buy it!
