Excellent little flashlight. Fits nicely into elastic side "pocket" of the stock Leatherman Wave and Charge sheaths (both leather and nylon versions). Build quality and especially finish is above and beyond any other flashlight in sub-$50 category. About 1/3" longer than Mag Solitaire, it produces so much light that Solitaire's beam becomes completely invisible. As a matter of fact, it is more than 2 times brighter than my previous EDC flashlight, a Surefire Executive Elite E1E (current price of E1E is $79).

Now, a few quick facts for the flashlight nuts.

- Beam has a relatively smooth spill with a well defined hotspot. As a matter of fact, there is a ring shaped shadow around a hotspot.

- Some artifacts , but barely noticeable. That has to be expected in such inexpensive light.

- Hotspot is pretty narrow, nearly 1o, so this light has an amazing throw for its size. With this light, I can easily count stripes on a raccoon's tail from 20 yards!

- Economy mode is flickery, which is expected. However, since the economy mode had to have so much less lumen output than a high power mode, flicker frequency is much lower than I expected. No flicker on high power, which is also expected.

- If you turn in on, off and then on again, it works just like when you turn it on and tap (high power).

- No way to turn it on/off momentarily without full press of a button, so I do not recommend it as a handgun companion light.
