Useable but features are cumbersome ( or inadequate )

The light is sufficiently bright and the adjustable zoom works well. Other than that, it is just another flashlight that boasts "3 modes-High, Low, Strobe" but doesn't work in the real world. The problem is that every time you press the button, the mode changes to the next. There is no way to ensure that the light stays in the same mode every time you use it. I just cant imagine a reason for this constant cycling. If you want to use the light on "high", you have to press the button 3 times every time you use it. When you turn it on again (even after it sits for a week) it will automatically switch to "Low" and then "Strobe" until you get back to "High". If the light were able to be locked in one mode it would be a practical tool. I wanted to use it for Law Enforcement where we turn our light on and off many times a day. With this one, I have to press the button 3 times every time I use it! Also, the retention ring around the body (used to activate the light with the palm of your hand while shooting) is made of soft rubber and useless for what it is intended. You cant activate the light because it is too soft. They are supposed to be made of a hard material so you can put pressure on it to press the tailcap button with the palm of your hand. It is simply a reverse-engineered product that the engineers didn't understand.Read full review
