| Pros:- Lightweight- Nice finishing- Uses one AA/14500 cell- Small and easy to handle- Tail cap can be changed- Tail cap easy to engage- O-rings can be changed to GITD- Tail clip sturdy.- Gets warm only on HIGH with 14500 | |
| Cons:- Driver encased in Epoxy.- Not fully mod-able.- Not as bright as the 230lumens version- LED Tinge varies from yellowish white to purplish white | |
| Other Thoughts:- bought 2 on different occasions. Both light had different output tinge.- finishing varied- brass connection at pill varied from polished to rough.. | |
| Bottomline:Safer to use as 14500 does not burn out the driver on HIGH mode.Trailed and tested.Can get.To enter programming mode:1) Turn on light2) Quickly 1/2 depress switch 5-6 times3) Select brightness by 1/2 pressing switch4) Turn off light for 20-30 secs after selection all 3 modes slots to lock in the programming.To switch between Li-ion protection1) Turn on light2) quickly 1/2 depress switch 3 times3) if light flashes one time, Protection is off[For protected Li-ion batteries, FOR 1.2v/1.5v AAs too]4) If light flashes twice, protection is on[For un-protected Li-ion batteries, NOT FOR 1.2v/1.5v AAs]To reset 3-mode to factory settings:1) turn on light2) enter programming mode3) quickly 1/2 depress switch 3 times4) light will turn back on in default factory settings | |

| Pros:Q5 - brightProgrammable 3 Mode?Square, anodized threads (very smooth)Tough anodizationWorks with 1.2v/1.5v AAsTailstands | |
| Cons:6-modes?Must shut off for 10+ secs to avoid advancing to next modeMust shut off for 1+ secs to advance modeBetter bargains available nowGets hot on max Would be nice: Extension tube for 2AA Flood-to-spot Candle mode | |
| Bottomline:This is the 3rd or 4th time I've submitted a review of this torch over the past 10 months. Initially, the review was great, but asleep-at-the-wheel DTW staff missed out on those reviews. Since much better choices have become available on DTW, this somewhat aggravating torch has assumed permanent duty attached to a ball cap as a headlight. The more powerful version of this torch (sku #28544) is only $13 and is also more usable, so $11 would be a fair price for this one. The GITDs on #28544 are more pliable and make it a bit easier to click. 5 modes may be a con for some, but not as much so as the retarded memory on this torch. It has memory, but only if you leave the torch off for a minimum of 10 seconds. Otherwise, you have to cycle through the modes. For me this is almost like no memory. Thus, with modes set to hi-hi-hi with an AA, this makes a suitable headlight. Even cycling through modes is a pain, requiring a full second of "off" to advance. You can cycle through all 5 | |
Expensive for a 6 mode light |

| Pros:Good output on high, long run time on low (20 hours), sturdy build. | |
| Cons:Way too expensive for this 6 mode light. Much better deal is thesku 28546 5 mode light which is almost $6 cheaper. The extra mode really adds nothing, just one more half click to cycle through to the mode that you want. | |
| Other Thoughts:I had been hoping to get the programmable 3 mode light that most people seem to be getting, but I ordered this 19/11/2009 and got the nonprogrammable 6 mode. The 3 mode programmable would have been a good deal. I actually ended up getting the 3 mode programmamble somewhere else, and it is a much more practical light -- I've just set it on lo/med/hi. I don't need to see the strobe and SOS modes all the time, but they are available if I need them. | |
| Bottomline:If you get the 3 mode programmable, you're getting a good deal. If you get stuck with the 6 mode non programmable, you'd be better off with sku 28546. | |

| Pros:cool 3 mode memory light.(at least as long as they were shipped) | |
| Cons:maybe a little bit too complicated to program this light...programming the lowest output ia almost impossible, because light switches/traverses from low to high output much too fast... | |
| Other Thoughts:For everyone to find this faster, I add my measurement infos to this review:I used 3 modes for my current measurements: high (maximum output) mid (somewhere above low) low (the lowest setting I was able to program) I used 3 types of batteries (Alkaline, Ni-Mh, Li-Io): (Battery-Voltages always measured at the open circuit) Alkaline: fresh camelion cell at 1,63V Ni-Mh: Camelion 2500mAh at 1,39V (almost full) Li-Io: Trustfire Protected at 3,8V Now to the measurements: _______Li-Io_________Ni-Mh_________Alkaline high___740mA________1110mA_________1080mA mid_____40mA_________130mA__________120mA low_____10mA__________40mA___________40mA | |
| Bottomline:no longer 3 mode memory...too bad.... | |

| Pros:Styling - my wife envied it when she saw it, this is a really well styled little torchAnodizing - very well coated and even colour, very tasteful colour tooBuild quality - it's really not far off some of the Surefire, Fenix & Inova lights I have with well cut threads & double O ringsDesign & Function - first click is a fast strobe at 200lmn which at night will attract attention and disorient an attacker, press halfway down and it's steady 200lmn mode, half press again and it's low mode which is useful for up close or indoors, it remembers the last setting you used. Great belt clip and will stand up on end to light a room hands free, clip direction allows top pocket hands free walking illuminationBeam quality - perfect round beam and darn bright, good balance of flood and throw - tending mostly towards flood | |
| Cons:cant think of anyOk I'll be real picky - charge an extra few dollars and fit a glass lens | |
| Other Thoughts:Pretty sure it has an aluminium reflector with a MOP finishMode operation is very easy to useGreat price for what it is | |
| Bottomline:If you want a slightly better built, better looking and more well thought out mini blaster than the usual made in China fare this is a great choice | |
