I originally received this light as a gift (many years ago when it was first released). It has become one of my most heavily used EDC items. I only use RAYCON researchable batteries for perfect function and long battery life (I stay away from other brands of rechargeables due to inconsistent or high voltage). Smooth function and a beautiful patina, performs better than some of my more expensive lights. Love it!!!

Feel: very heavy for its size (duh solid copper). The twist action is very smooth, and the machine work is perfect. Patina's very fast, and looks great.

Function: the low mode is nice, although its a bit bright for a low mode. The other two modes are very bright, perfect inspection/edc light levels. it fits very well in the coin pocket of my jeans.

Potential Improvements: the lanyard hole is too small for 550 cord (sadness), but it fits a small split-ring. I would change this. The light is a bit glitchy, sometimes it turns off by itself if you shake it... maybe a stronger spring would fix that? It would be 100% perfect if it had a pocket clip.... Just sayin. Lastly, it tends to roll off of things; a pocket clip would fix this too.

Fantastic light. hasn't left my pocket since i got it.

This is a pretty good light mine had a gremlin in it at first but it has disappeared and is working good now, the low mode is way brighter than 5 lumens it’s at least 15 but it’s my most used mode On this light

About as big as I would go for a pocket carry, I really like the aesthetics and feel of this unit. Extremely well made, the high polish copper is awesome. Love the rugged knurled body. Using at night to search my 11/4 acre wooded property, this light and beam combo throws a great amount of light for scanning wide and deep. Highly recommend!
