Strengths & Trade-offs

Strengths

    Trade-offs

    • No electronic lockout feature means you'll need to physically lock out the tail cap (if possible) to prevent accidental activation.
    • No pocket clip is included — you'll need a holster or aftermarket clip for secure carry.
    • No built-in charging means you'll need a separate battery charger, adding cost and inconvenience for new users.
    • No mode memory — the light resets to a default mode on every power cycle instead of remembering your last brightness.
