Awesome light and alot more compact than I thought it would be from the description and reviews. Technology in flashlights is growing by leaps and bounds and 2 months ago I though the JetBeam TH20 Guardian with its built in battery bank and 21700 battery was a great light for its size with 4,000 lumens, but it steps down on lumens in minutes from turbo mode. This Fenix is a bit wider (but shorter) and puts out 10,000 lumens for a decent amount of time before stepping down and you get over an hour at 10,000 lumens before it steps down. Realistically, this is a great compromise for the size/throw of the amount of light you get. Very nicely made and machined.

Well I’ve only been using this light for a small while, but it holds true to the description. Although I’d rather a tail switch I find no problems with it. For the amount of light put out it’s a small package. The head does heat up, but on cold nights walking my dog it feels oh so good. This sucker IS bright, like more than a car headlight or football field flood light lol. I love it! I call it ‘my pocket full of sunshine’. It’s actually so bright I have to drop settings or aim really low because it does throw and with max brightness houses down the street will be lit up through there windows haha. Not only is the throw good, but the flood lights up everything around. I think it’s a good deal for the price. I have many flashlights, rechargeables, battery only and they all have their places. This one is definitely the big boy, but in a surprisingly small unit. You’d expect something with this much light to be big and bulky, but It’ll even go in your pocket. Nice.

Oh and the recharging is easy peasy to boot. :)

Just became my primary work every day carry flashlight. Rugged incredible power all in a small package Fenix does it again 😱😱😱
