> 3 dayIs exactly as advertised. Light weight lets it go unnoticed in shirt pocket. Clip works great on bill of cap. I carried a Strion for 10 years. This is now my EDC. Kept in shirt pocket. Unobtrusive. Addendum 2-4-2021. I have used this for a couple of years. Gave first one to wifes father. Excellent device. Used with cop doing serious area sweep. Beat his streamlight for proper close quarter beam cast.

Greater than one weekThis thing is slick. Super bright and with three settings you choose. Slim front weakside pocket fit so your strong hand can work or you can hold it with your teeth if you need both hands. Only beef is how hot it gets but its liveable. Highly recommend this gadget.

> 3 dayLet me start off by saying that Im a huge Surefire fan and I own many of their fine lights. That being said, save your money when it comes to this light. What seems like a good concept doesnt work in practice. The clip isnt practical and neither is the shape. A regular light takes up less room in the pocket. Due to its shape it is extremely difficult to get a good ice pick grip on the light to activate the tail cap button. And the biggest flaw of all, the darn thing activates in my pants accidentally time and again. The only thing I liked about this light is the easy USB charging and battery run time. After using this light as my EDC for several weeks, I will relegate it to use as a spare and go back to a conventional Surefire light.

> 3 dayThis has become my favorite edc light. I carry it every day in my front pocket, unclipped. Its about the same size as my edc pocket knives. The shape is perfect and its less obvious in my pocket than the typical round, tube-shaped lights. Can easily hold in a cigar grip with a pistol. I dropped it once on a stone slab and theres barely a noticeable scratch on the bezel. The push button has not turned on in my pocket. I sometimes take off the pocket clip, but not this time. Can use it to clip the light to the bill of my cap.

Greater than one weekThis flashlight is one that you wont make a mistake purchasing. It is very versatile and perfect for everyday carry. I will list out the pos and negs of this light. Pro: - Slim/flat design makes it very comfortable to carry in your pocket - Light weight adds to comfort - Comfortable in hand while operating - Extremely sturdy clip that can also be used as a baseball cap clip for hands free use - Really powerful and bright high beam - Multiple intensity options x 3 (high, medium, and low) with programming - Two different selector switches (tailcap and one one the face of the light) - RECHARGABLE!!! - Surefire warranty Cons: - Not the best for range (will elaborate in summary) - Can turn on accidentally in pocket and cause burns to body or material if gone unnoticed - Aesthetically displeasing - Rechargeable only so you cant add batteries - Cannot be mounted (successfully/efficiently) to a firearm Summary: This flashlight is perfect for anyone looking to add to their EDC loadout. It fully satisfies the needs of a preparedness life style. You can use it in a multitude of environments and situations from LEO/Military to outdoor enthusiasm like dungeoneering, vampire hunting, fairy catching, etc. The fact that its rechargeable means you save on money, but if you dont have access to power bank or a previously captured fairy from before, its a paper weight because you cant replace the battery either (not good for zombocalypse). Its lightweight and sleek design makes it fit comfortably in your pocket while not in use, but is also easy to handle in hand. *This cannot be mounted to a firearm in a sensible and efficient manner* I needed to state this because some people think they need to be able to mount their pocket light onto their firearms thus making the light more ergonomic. Rather, your firearm should have its own WML designated specifically for firearm use already installed separate from your pocket light. Speaking about pockets, be careful while its in the pocket as it can be turned on accidentally and without notice this little light saber will burn a hole in your pocket or cause burns to your thigh, but with vigilance, or plasma rated pants, this can be avoided. The biggest issue I had with this light is the fact that it doesnt have much penetration. Its very bright and has a very large field of vision which is excellent for very close and encased environments, but in the wilderness or even suburbs the beam doesnt extend much further than roughly 50ft. That can be a problem if its the only light you have on you and you need to see at further distances or through the thick of trees, ghouls, brush, etc. Considering its effectiveness indoors, clearing rooms, conduction searches, or just flat out flashing a light on your baby just to make sure that she isnt blue in a car or at home will serve you well with the option to use the less vibrant Kiss You Softly with LED setting (low), He Does it Cause He Loves Me setting (medium), or the Melt Your Face Off, or MYFO setting (higher than Willie). If your making a traffic stop and need a minimal brightness to read licenses or registrations without blinding grandma you have the option to use Kiss You Softly (low) and can easily (if programmed correctly) be switched to MYFO beam that serves very well with disorienting people up close for when she decides to pull out her S&W Python because she didnt know you were a real cop. In summation, this is a practical light for everyday use and you get your moneys worth.

> 3 dayI love this light, it hasnt replaced my EDC2LT, but for general searching for things in dark corners around the shop its fantastic. Wish it had a bit more throw for an EDC light, but not having to pay for batteries on my X300U or EDC2LT as often is really nice.

> 3 dayGreat light. Typical Surefire quality. The USB charging ability is a plus. The flat profile makes it pocket friendly. My only gripe is the tailcap switch is a bit awkward if you are used to a conventional round flashlight body.

Greater than one weekBe careful inserting and removing the charging cable. The power source connection is very delicate and over time, will fail. The first flashlight- I was a little aggressive and pulled out the charging cable like you would a cell phone. Within three weeks of owning it, it stopped charging. I made the call to SureFire and gave them my story. They gave me a ton of hassle buying it from Amazon and basically told me all lights being produced were being distributed to retail centers, not filling warranty claims. After 45 days, they finally sent the replacement after multiple emails and calls. Very frustrating. Second light- After one year of occasional use, it finally stopped charging. I was mindful of plugging/unplugging the charging port.
