First impressions:
This light is one of the most recommended lights on Reddit and for good reason.
The utility of this light is pretty amazing for the price. Its got all the useful features you can get in a flashlight:
- USB Charging
- Stepped or ramping UI
- Magnetic tailcap
- Can tailstand
- lanyard
- clip
- light up side switch
- respectable brightness for its size
- 90+ CRI
- 4000k or 6000k options
- Great included battery
- Removable battery
- Easily found on Amazon.
- Cheap
Build:
Very good build quality, threads are smooth I've dropped it several times and it still works well with only minor scratches.
Usage notes:
Stepped ramping mode is the way to go, smooth ramping is cool to show people but this is not Anduril's smooth ramping, lower levels are too fast and the upper levels are slow.
This light gets the most use out of me and it handles it well. I see why it is Reddits go to recommendations.
Battery:
Comes included with a Wurkkos 3000mah 18650 battery and I tested it at 2816mah doing a 1 amp discharge test. Many of my other salvaged batteries only test 1900-2100mah so this is a very respectable battery, considering the highest end you can get for a 18650 is 3500-3600mah.
Brightness Perf:
Moonlight: 2 Lumens (Hard to measure this low on my lumen tube)
Low: 46 Lumens
Med: 205 Lumens
High: 463 Lumens
Turbo: 881 Lumens
30Secs: 870 Lumens
Max Sustained: 238 Lumens
Verdict:
One of the most useful flashlights you can get. I find myself using this one the most. Can be easily found on Amazon.
