Pros: The light is of reasonable quality.

Cons: This light is not as bright as expected.
There is no smooth reflector available.
It has too many modes. Dont need strobe and SOS. Just high and low would be better.
There are no driver boards available to drive this light at anything close to its full potential.
Has to be off for 2+ minutes before it turns on at previous setting.

Other Thoughts: Mine is only drawing 1.6A from fully charged 2 x 18650. Most likely only 2.8A at LED. Maybe they are using P7 drivers??
I might try to direct drive once the current driver dies. I expect it will sometime soon.

Bottomline: Not real impressed. It is an expensive 700lm light.

Pros: Nice Flashlight, bought it because of the positive revievs.
And it IS bright, but since it is only a SST-50 chip inside there is a LOT of space to the top!

Cons: The 5-Mode is annoying for my needs. I only need a flash to be ON or OFF. May someone tell me what the SOS or strobe mode is for...
The LOW and MID setting is useful to expand batterie life. If you are in a room and this one is too bright, have a smaller one...
If DX would stock ONE flashlight with the SOS mode, the customers in need of this mode could buy it.
But it´s hard to find one without these nasty features.

Other Thoughts: If I would have to design a topseller flashlight it would have to have:
- the SST-50 (or bigger) chip
- also a 2-mode version of it on DX ^^
- seals to make it waterproof
- different batterie configurations in one light (e.g. 1*18650 and 2*18650) just by taking off the extensions
In this light I found most of my ideas.
Only the 5-mode-nasty-crap bothers me.

Bottomline: A light you can recommend to your pal!
If he wants to be enlightend.
It´s hard to find a better one (in 02/2010)!
It´s good for hunting (after the shot!!! ^^ ).
It´s a musthave on your boat.
It´s a musthave in your car.
I carry mine around all day :-)

Pros: EXTREMELY BRIGHT
Rugged design,
feels strong,
anodization seems 'tough',
5-mode has neat features...the medium and low settings are essential to using in a dark room without blinding yourself.
did I mention A SMALL SUN LIVES INSIDE THIS FLASHLIGHT. AMAZINGLY BRIGHT.

Cons: You need the assault crown attached if you want the glass to stay in.
The weight feels kind of funny - top/front heavy given the small size of the handle and large heatsink/head.
5/mode can be a bit annoying, easy to switch modes when you aren't expecting

Other Thoughts: Wow. I can't comment on the numbers, current draw, etc, but I can tell you this is not a 'little' brighter than my other flashlights...it is a LOT brighter than my other flashlights. You must see it to believe it!

Bottomline: I have never seen anything this bright in a handheld. When my projector (video) bulb dies I intend to buy another one of these to replace the bulb - its THAT bright.

Pros: Made of high quality material, heavy, bright as hell, the med mode is as bright as my Trustfire P7 in high, bright enough to take the price tag, it's a SST-50!

Cons: Scratched easily, heavy, too heavy that is, only the head is heavier than the body with two 18650 batteries together, sharp bezel, over 1 pound alltogether.

Other Thoughts: HAven't tested the runtime yet, hope it can run over 1.5 hour.

Bottomline: Great light, brighter than the old P7s, if the p7 can make 900 lumens than this ones claimed 1250 lumens might be real, kuz as I said the med mode on this one is as bright as high on the p7. If you want to get the brightest light available at DX, you've found it! Just buy it...I'm loving mine ;)
