Solidly built. The head turns like butter. I thought I'd miss a clicky tailcap, but this is even easier to use. Really enjoy the warm/natural light and beam shape. Cooler colors tend to mess with my eyes. The glow in the dark diffusor works surprisingly well. I thought it was a gimmick, but I leave it on the light more often than not. The AAA sized light is small and disappears in my pocket without being too small. Again - solidly built. Can't wait for it to build up a bit of patina.
This is my second one. First was copper. But I think I'll like how the brass ages better.
I own several olights and surefire lights. This light is my favorite because it is so small, light weight despite being made of brass. I love the brass because natural material wares naturally and scuffs and scratch which come with EDC only add to the character of this great light. Additionally, I like the twist on and off becouse all of my rubber end cap switches have worn out over time and only add to weight and size.
Precision machining, great fit and finish and it works. Here’s an idea folks, mate this little light with a nice gold chain (the lanyard loop is already there), and gift it to your significant other as a practicable piece of jewelry.
Not too bulky and will clip onto your pocket without blocking access. Very bright and ages well.
