I have this light and its sister. I would like to say that they are sturdy and bright lights. However, like others have commented here, the buttons for power and mode are next to IMPOSSIBLE to find and use in the dark. I literally - not joking - have to get a smaller EDC flashlight out of my pocket to find the buttons on this flashlight in the dark. Fair warning to you - there is nothing "tactical" about this light. If you need it in a hurry in the dark... you're screwed.
