- ✓Genuinely startling output for the size
- ✓USB-C rechargeable
- ✗Some early units can't reach turbo because of adhesive contamination on the contacts
- ✗Affected lights show a red warning and cap at around 2,000 lumens
- ✗The pocket clip comes off too easily — one reviewer lost it from a chest pocket
