Strengths & Trade-offs
Strengths

- Built-in USB-C charging eliminates the need for a separate charger. Just plug in with a standard cable — the same one you use for your phone.
- IP68 submersion rating means this light can handle being fully submerged in water — a must-have for outdoor, tactical, and maritime applications.
- Impact-tested to 1.5 meters, this light is built to survive drops and rough handling in the field.
Trade-offs
- 143.0mm length is manageable but longer than compact EDC lights — may poke out of shallower pockets.
- No electronic lockout feature means you'll need to physically lock out the tail cap (if possible) to prevent accidental activation.
