Light up the. . . . . . . . . .
"This flashlight will light up your whole world. The beam does not travel very far but lights up everything around you perfect for search and rescue. My main reason for four stars is the power button or on-off button it's in the back don't really care for that. Other than that the slight functions flawlessly."

good but there is a better fit 4 me
"Solid--solid light, bright but for me- not the most user friendly. Lots of features, but I prefer a simpler edc. Not mis-advertised, just wrong purchase for me."

Terribly unreliable light - worst of the bunch I have owned
"This light will not stay charged more than a week at a time. Even when you keep the tail off, it seems to draw a heck of a lot of power for some reason. I suspect shoddy construction in a circuit. You have to recharge this light at least once a week even if you don't use it at all - very inconvenient. I own the older model tiny monster, which is very reliable and long lasting. I bought another one of these for a friend for Christmas - and he has experienced the same unreliable service from this light. I wish we could send them back, but it has probably been too long. I would not recommend buying this light after two separate bad experiences. Replaced the batteries with brand new high end rechargables (expensive). . . . . same thing."

One of the Best flashlights I've owned

GREAT BIG LIGHT
"Great things do come in small packages and this is one of them. I took it out on a small lake and I was amazed at the light it produced. The various levels of light are great for different task and the strobe is a killer. This is my go to flashlight."

One of my favorite little BIG lights
"This is the light that sits on top of my dresser for the mundane tasks like finding socks without waking the wife (on low setting) to checking out why the dogs are growling at 0200 (set to High), Tiny Monster in one hand, G41 in the other, so far, it's just been cats, but someday. . . zombies! Hoards and hoards of zombies! This is also the light that got me buying and using 18650s, and I'm glad I did, but that's another story. I do have to recharge two of the cells faster then the other two, but that doesn't bother me, just be aware of it, I think it's because of the button finder LED circuit"

Should Be Called Fat Monster
"Why its called a 'Tiny Monster' is beyond me. Nothing tiny about it. The price is big,,the light is big(around that is),and heavy, and the beam is big. It is bright as advertised. If you buy one, make sure you really tighten the cap after you put the batteries in. Otherwise it wont work. The beam is a yellow tint. My Streamlight ProTac HL3 seems to be almost as bright and a lot easier to hold. When shooting nighttime qualifying ,the Tiny Monster is hard to hold in one hand and operate the switch. It seems to be well built, but bulky to hold."

Powerful Small Handheld
"Great light, Very floody. Very easy interface. Button is very easy to use and raised compared to the earlier TMs. Not the greatest thrower, but there are other TM versions for throw. Really like the light and Battery Junction had an excellent price with coupon. Would highly recommend!"

Good, but. . .
"Nice compact light. Bright as you would expect and solid build quality as usual from Nitecore. Controls are a little more difficult to manage with a tailcap button and a side button. In theory, that gives you more programming flexibility but in practice it's more stuff to remember. Not a dealbreaker but something to think about. Would have been nice to have been told to remove the plastic film off the lens. That seems somewhat obvious but it isn't entirely clear at first that the bluish tint isn't intentional (small tab is also hard to find). One of the things I don't like about this light is the inability to lock out the TM06 with the side button like in other models. Unscrewing the tailcap to do this makes this like other brands of flashlights. I thought NItecore was on to something good with the side button lockout and quick presses to re-access."

Mixed review TM06
"This is a mixed review, however it remains positive overall. Caution!!! Be sure to remove the blue saran wrap from the lens prior to use. I bet that would be interesting. Primary lithium's (CR123) are NOT recommended; only 18650's."
