Strengths & Trade-offs
Strengths
- IPX8 submersion rating means this light can handle being fully submerged in water — a must-have for outdoor, tactical, and maritime applications.
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.
- Only 55 minutes on high mode is limited. You'll be stepping down to medium frequently on longer outings.
- No built-in charging means you'll need a separate battery charger, adding cost and inconvenience for new users.
