How It Scores
Our algorithm evaluates every flashlight across five categories. Each score reflects a weighted analysis of specs, runtime efficiency, and price-to-performance ratio.
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.
- IPX8 submersion rating means this light can handle being fully submerged in water — a must-have for outdoor, tactical, and maritime applications.
- Electronic lockout prevents accidental activation in a bag or pocket — no more dead batteries from phantom drain.
Trade-offs
- 163g puts this on the heavier side of pocket lights. Noticeable in a front pocket over extended carry.
- 160.0mm length is manageable but longer than compact EDC lights — may poke out of shallower pockets.
