My New Favorite Flashlight!
I received this light yesterday, and after two days of playing with it, I am extremely impressed with it. The casing, which is machined from a bar of premium grade aluminum, has a very solid/sturdy feel to it, and I expect it to be more durable than any other flashlights I currently have.This is my first Neutral White flashlight, and I am happy with the warmness of the beam. Included are comparison pictures of the beam pattern and beam tints of the Zebralight SC5w next to a Sunwayman V11R Cool White flashlight. The Zebralight, while having a larger spill on its beam, also has a nicely sized hot spot, which should make for a lot of usable light. Previously, I purchased all of my lights in Cool White versions, because they are supposed to be "brighter", but now that I have seen the warm tint of this Neutral White, I will surely be looking for more warmer tints. As the picture on the table shows, the Cool White hot spot totally washes out the table in the picture, whereas the Neutral tint makes the table visible, and doesn't seem to wash out any of the colors of the table, either. While illuminating things as bright as possible in the dark is nice sometimes, being able to differentiate colors and not overwhelming your eyes is a much more practical way of illumination. I consider this beam much more useful for day-to-day purposes.The inside of the tail cap doesn't have a typical spring, but has raised buttons that have some give to them. I included a picture of mine, in which one of the buttons is not perfectly in place, but I don't anticipate this ever causing any operational issues, so I am not very worried about it. The way the tail cap attaches to the body of the light, there is a small gap between the body and tail cap, but there is a large O-ring that fits inside the cap, so I am confident the light is fully sealed and shouldn't have any waterproofing problems if it gets wet.This is also my first Zebralight, so I wasn't sure how the user interface would be, and initially it seemed a bit complicated, but after using it for a few minutes and reading the instructions, it is quite simple to operate: push/hold gets you to low, double click gets you to medium, and a single click gets you to the high mode. You can also push and hold and it will start at low and cycle through all three settings, stopping wherever you desire. I was also impressed to find that each mode has multiple output options: Low mode has 4 possible options: 0.1 lumens, 0.3 lumens, 1.1 lumens, and 3.2 lumens. Medium mode has 3 possible options: 8 lumens, 20 lumens, and 48 lumens. High mode has 4 possible options: 115 lumens, 200 lumens, 325 lumens, and the max 535 lumens setting, which only runs for 3 minutes before automatically stepping down to the 325 lumens setting. All of the modes are programmable, and easy to switch between. The highest setting in each mode is always available, while you can program which second output setting you want to be able to switch to while using the light (so while you're using the light, within each mode, you are able to double click and alternate between two settings of your choice, which is really neat!), and it has memory for this, so it will come back on in whichever setting you used it in last.In addition to all of that, the clip is will built and extremely strong, which should make it easy to keep the light near me at all times and to keep it secured, without worry of losing it. I haven't extensively used it thus far, but if any negatives arise, or any more positives, I will be sure to update my review.

Their products are great. In a lot of cases, you're better off with the 18650 version though.
