   Cumple exactamente lo que quiero, práctico airsoft y al tener está luz el filtro rojo me funciona para avisar cuando me han eliminado además queda exactamente en mi plate carrier y apuntando para abajo queda en una posición donde me alumbra el suelo y puedo ir caminando sin temor a dar un paso en falso

   Nice light, decent quality. It will fit molle slots really snug though which can be good and bad holds it nicely but hard to get in and out if needed. Decent brightness has a dim and bright setting and the design ain’t horrible wish it could be angled a little bit more. All around decent light for the price.

   I mainly use it for camping and Nike hikes, especially when I’m not using my P20IX. It helps me see where I’m walking, and the red light feature is great for keeping flies and mosquitoes away. Plus, since it uses AAA batteries, I can easily find replacements anywhere.

   Really like the style light and the fact it uses AA batteries. I use frequently.

   All in all this is a good light. Compact easy to use, seems durable enough, functional. But A. I really dont know why we needed to have a screwdriver only opening. Its not that hard mind you, its just an annoying thing when you want to change batteries. And B. The red slider does not fit very flush with the light. It does not silde around, which is good, though I wonder about it over time, but there is a gap between the slider and the light where the light reflects off the chrome backing next to the emitting area, and it makes a white light spill out the side. I kind of hate that. Its a super minor gripe and other people might not even notice, but I hate it. I picked up a standard side winder and perfer that much more.
   Update: the red slider is super loose now and will move out of position unintentionally. Not a good light, I bought a second standard sidewinder.

   Update: Now the clip is loosie goosie too. I really hate this thing and I wish I never bought it. I am contemplating buying a Third regular side winder and giving this to a bum or something.

   Light brightness is ok at best. Even on the brightest setting it is not great for complete darkness (overcast nights or rooms without electricity)

   This is a great light. Lumen output might be low but the Candela output is great which is much better than some lights with higher lumen output that I use. My gripe is the activation of the HIGH mode. It takes around 3 seconds or so to go to HIGH from Low. UPDATE: Fell off the side of the bed and the “latch” that holds the flashlight head broke. NOT a “High-impact super-tough polymer body offers exceptional durability” as advertised.

    Great for preppers or survivalists. Low output and red filter ,which Is very suitable for long term survival . I have been wanting one for quite a long time although I would of bought the bigger sidewinder or compact version . But it’s no biggy as I love my streamlights . Also to the lads who complain about no instructions on each side of the light has aplus sign indicating which way the batteries go. And also on the front of emitter there are also some instruction albeit hard to read thumbs up from ireland

    The design engineers need to go back to the design boards. As others have commented the battery compartment “thumb” screw is challenging and you are only certain it is fully engaged is with a screwdriver. The “tactical” battery insertion indicators are really well camouflaged. So much so, that I didn’t think there were any until reading another review that mentioned them. Why not just use that wide flat strip by the battery compartment access for a nice big “+” and “-“, and not a little “+” where my fingers are trying to hold it. Someplace I might even be able to feel the symbol in the dark.
    It does seem to be well constructed and for my purposes it will just be clipped to some suspenders and a belt for things that go “bump in the night”.

    Multi functional without the need to remember multiclick combos.
    Uses 2 simple and widely available AA batteries.
    Stays on the color you set it at so no bright white light surprises.
    Quality brand
    Not easily bumped on by mistake
    If you are putting it in a kit that is not used everyday I recommend only energizer ultimate lithium batteries for no leak and extra long storage life.
