When it comes to throwing light at a far distance.. This by FAR takes the prize.. I have a HUGE collection of lights.. At first I thought this is probably the last thing I need another flashlight.. However, I have used this SO many times in situations where none of my lights could compare.. Almost ZERO heat after being on for nearly 30min straight. Hardly ever have to charge the battery.. Thin compact and lightweight. The operation couldn’t be better.. Momentary light press or full click ON tail switch, with mode change under light head.. I like everything about this design and wouldn’t change a thing.

When working outside on top of a basin with sun was shining.. In the basin depth was 60ft below through 3 levels and 3 36" man-ways with almost zero light.. Rigging and pulling out a shaft through obstacles with men on each level and me signaling the crane operator.. Being able to see down that hole with my eye's adjusted to the sun would NOT have been possible without this light...

I carry a minimum of 2 or more flash lights.. If you’re looking for an EDC (Every day carry) this is NOT it... This is NOT for searching the floor for something you dropped in the dark.. This is for seeing something very clear at least 20ft+ away..

In the picture below I used a 2ft wooden ruler and shot the light on it’s center.. As you can see it’s blinding and only covers around 3 inches at best.. It’s hard to see the measurements but my camera was confused at what I was trying to do.. Out of 10 pictures this one looked the best.. Another pic is where I carry it on my right hip. It has NEVER turned on accidentally which is a huge plus..

I honestly expected this to be another light for my collection but found it to be carried with me every day! I’ve been collecting flashlights for a long time and until you own an LEP and actually use it.. You’ll find yourself using it for a LOT more, of course this depends on your line of work. I use it as a pointer too which is awesome.. For years when I'm in the field I always said to myself I need to bring a laser pointer but then some couldn't see the darn dot! That being said, this LASER FLASHLIGHT has yet to fail me..!

If what you want is a VERY NARROW WHITE BEAM of light with NO SPILL, this light will get the job done. I haven't had the opportunity to try it outdoors at night yet, but indoors found that the beam is VERY NARROW and BRIGHT. You'll see DUST MITES crossing the beam, but you won't see objects adjacent to the beam. My use for this is to see PRECIPITATION, and it will definitely do that. While I don't intend to use this for hunting criminals or animals, the strobe function would be stunningly disorienting.

This is my second white laser light and it is as awesome as the Jetbeam RRX-M1X, just in a smaller form factor. The light does not get hot like most of my other LED lights and is a great thrower with even less spill than the M1X but not as much throw. It was worth the purchase if you are looking for a specialty light.

As everyone else has said, this is a very focused light. Well made, simple and straightforward controls with a big 21700 battery. Too big for every day carry, but very nice for nightstand use without any blinding backsplash. Does not flood out the whole area and the beam is very concentrated. Can't wait for this technology to develop even more. If you don't have one of these, you are missing out on a whole new way of using a flashlight.

Great flashlight with very useful USB charging capability.
