I got two of these from the last drop.
The 4 LED head really does make for a nice, wide beam without the super intense central spot and much dimmer falloff of a single LED design.
It's such a nice, wide beam, great for close range use, that it's become my favorite around the house flashlight (I did add an extension tube so I could use the larger 18650 batteries, and to give it a much nicer hand-filling grip).
One of my flashlights, however, had one or two of the LEDs slightly misaligned.
The result is an uneven, patchy beam that's dimmer in some spots and hotter in others. Really annoying. I put that one aside and don't use it any longer.
So this is a really nice design, but only if you get one that's executed correctly.
If you get one where the any of the LEDs is misaligned, you may be disappointed.
That said, it is one of my favorite flashlight designs for the wide, even beam.
