PROS:
Warm yellow-gold cast white light. But NOT "too-too" yellow - or dingy. No, just pleasing non-harsh light. (This to me is a plus, I don't care for cold blue light).
The Zoom function works well.
It has an IPX8 water resistance rating. A web search tells me: IPX8 is based on testing conditions where the device is submerged in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for up to 30 minutes.
The flashlight remembers the last state it was in (low or high). There's a separate button from the tail switch for setting light intensity or strobe. Unlike other reviews, I have not found this to be something that I hit by mistake.
The highest setting of the 4 settings (500 lumens) has a powerful enough throw that you could run with it and have a good appraisal of what's coming for you on the terrain for 20 feet ahead or more.
This flashlight has NOT gotten hot or burned my hands - some high output flashlights do that.
The 2nd setting is merely a healthy regular flashlight output - it'd be fine for walking the dog, etc.
The 3rd lowest setting is minimal - I don't know if I'd want to use it for a walk and you'd never read by it but it would be a small area light.
You are provided with spare parts: 1. a spare rubber cap for the power switch tail piece. 2 rubber "O" ring gaskets - presumably for the battery cap or maybe for the front lens. This is thoughtful. These parts and tiny see thru bag are so small I'm going to retain the flashlight box and committing to keeping the flashlight box to store these in. YMMV.
CONS: The 4th setting - i.e. the lowest output settting: I almost wonder why they bothered. If you have the lowest setting running in a completely dark tent, and let your eyes acclimatize to it for 2 minutes or more, then yeah, it's the * vaguest * small-area night light. This setting is something to be aware of because...
The lowest output setting could drain your batteries to nothing. HOW? It's so weak you barely know it's on and if you somehow were to toggle to this setting and not turn it off , or not turn the main switch off , yeah it'd probably take a day or two but you'd drain your battery.
SO....I have had to cultivate an awareness that the flashlight is really turned OFF with (via) the tail switch. I look at the flashlight head after I have powered down. This is an annoyance but otherwise I like this flashlight.
It's not heavy, is long enough to be substantial but it is unlikely to fit completely inside a coat pocket unless you have deep pockets. It does have a built in belt clip which may be a Plan B solution for you. The belt clip is attached with a small machine screw and stay's put.
SUMMARY: I like this flashlight and am keeping it. I like it's quality of light, options and "throw". God bless non-rechargable AA batteries, you can buy 24 of them dirt cheap and they will keep 8 years in cool dry storage. I can recommend this.
This time no change to that, I am pointing out how well the manufacturer stood behind their product. They responded to my problem immediately and I received another flashlight soon thereafter.
Good job and a huge Thank You to them!
-Made with good quality materials making it feel like it's "not cheap"
-For its size it's very bright!! If your out camping or hiking around in the dark it's all the light you would need to safely get around.
-It takes AA batteries which I prefer because it's easier to throw new batteries in and go and not have to charge the light creating down time if your out in the field.
-The strobe feature is bright enough to effectively blind whomever it's pointed at.
CONS;
-Even though it's good quality I believe the price is very high. You can get a light that's not too much smaller for 1/4th the cost that will get the job done the same. I believe the price point should be half what it currently is ($25-30 range).
-Its a small 6 inch light but it's almost an awkward in-between size were it's not small enough to just stuff in the pocket and it's big enough to require a belt holster but the size makes it hard to get a holster that actually fits well.
-The clip on it is placed center mass on the pen light which is kinda useless because of the size and weight the clip needs to be on the end. So for me personally at work it's hard to carry unless I'm wearing the right tactical pants with a pocket that will work so I find myself often using my smaller easier to carry light. If I could get a tightly fitted holster this wouldn't be an issue.
-Its a wide beam of light so I find it not as helpful as some of my cheaper smaller lights that have more of a focused lazered beam. Sometimes when conducting searches of vehicles it's too much of a spot/flood light. (Parking enforcement officer) Usually I'm not wanting to light the entire car up rather I just need a focused beam to search the dash for paid tickets. This light blows my cover because it's so bright which may very well be a PRO for you depending on how you use it.
Overall it's a high quality very bright small 6inch light that's definitely going to get the job done!

What I didn't expect is the controls are the opposite of my rechargeable light.
This light is going into my SUV, to replace the old 3x-AAA Mag-light that is starting to corrode inside. This new light was tested for hours, with old weak AA batteries and did very well. It's not going to get a lot of use, and will be inspected every few months for any sign of AA leakage.
Top reviews from other countries
The water resistance is an excellent touch. And the included lanyard and replacement button and o-rings are appreciated. The only feature I wish it had that it doesn't is a low-battery indicator. The only concern I have with its operation is that on high, it doesn't reduce its brightness after the amount of time specified in the manual, but ThruNite customer care assure me that this is normal and a temperature sensor will lower the output if necessary, so not worth deducting a star for.
If you want a versatile, water resistant, portable metal flashlight that runs on AA batteries and has good illumination and battery life, you could definitely do worse than this little guy!

It comes with replacement rings for the LED and the button mechanism and a replacement button, I have had no need of them yet, and lanyard is thick and able to be tightened well. Lanyard has been attached since day one.
