Cons: the led was not centered, not even fixed. the o ring at the lens was broken, the lens wasnt round so the inner o ring didnt fit.
soldering is so bad, the light works only occasionally.
my clip was rusty and badly painted.

Other: not worth the money, the lamp is a good idea, but soldering and electronics are disguised crap.

Pros: MEMORY !!! Thats great. Very useful. It always tur on on the last mode used. Particulary, i am almost using in LOW mode. The light is very, very bright for such a litlle flashlight. I hve others flashlights retades as 250lm and this beast them on HIGH mode.

Cons: Well, not really a cons to me, but the glow in the dark o-rings just glow if you put it under a bright ligh, such HIGH mode, and last for no longer than 1 maybe 2 minute.
Strobe mode- why put this mode on a little light?? To me, totally useless.
The clip is bit hard...but this also means it hold well when used!!

Other: Not tested under water, but seens to be even waterproof, at least for rain. O-rings can seal well on mine.
If you need a very small, powerfull flashlight, great deal with this.

Pros: Both of them work right out of the package with primary lithium cells. I like the memory.

Cons: One looks finished, the other not so much. Have to guess whether to add thermal past to the one that has none on the front around the LED or not.

Other: Maybe I should have ordered three, so I'd have a 2-out-of-three comparison to get a better idea which one is done right.

Pros: My review isn't posted yet, but my photo of the 2 I got is posted.
Both of mine still work, can't tell whether the difference in white goop affects the temperature yet.
Maybe the difference in thermal paste doesn't matter

Cons: One of the 2 -- the one not quite screwed together -- came without a glass lens.
Anyone got the size and thickness to look for if I don't return/exchange the whole light, which seems a waste of postage?

Other: meh, about as expected.

Pros: Very useful torch. It is perfect when you need light and you want to have free hands. Simply touch the pocket. The quality of workmanship is very good in my opinion. The torch, although very low light very well and far. Lights almost as clear and as far sku.14027. Three modes are very useful.

Cons: Heats up quickly. In my opinion it is better not to shine long in max mode. There are no seals on the headlamp.

Other: I recommend this flashlight. If you need light and hands-free flashlight that is for you. Perfect flashlight for a policeman.

Pros: This light seems solid. The threads seem well defined and screw together easily. The user interface seems very usable, although I would gladly trade the strobe for another level. Big flat bottom surface and the nice clip mean I can make it "stand" in several different positions easily. I like the GITD o-ring and button, but wish they were brighter.

Cons: The switch doesn't feel centered under the rubber cap, although it is still very usable. My light came with the front lens loose and the spring on the negative battery cap had popped out and was rattling around. Both issues were easy for me to remedy. I wish it came with a band, to use as a headband

Other: Good build quality, decent output, small size. Worth the money in my opinion.

Pros: - interesting form factor - extends possible applications beyond ordinary Flashlights. - form makes clip really useful - good build - my first dx light with actually working memory!

Cons: - maybe a bit picky about protected batteries - if I screw the tailcap too tight, the light goes off. Not sure if unprotected cells work better - gets really really hot - not even close to 280 lumen. All my CR123 flashlights outlight it easily

Other: Nice tool. Buy it :-)

Pros: Very bright and compact. Seems to be well made but the threads were a bit rough. Battery fits tightly, not rattling around. Glow in the Dark on/off button is a nice feature, as well as the clip, which is placed conveniently. All the o rings are GITD as well. Reliability seems to be quite good.

Cons: Smaller then I thought it would be, perhaps a bit too small, could be easily lost. Threads were a bit rough, needed a bit of silicon lube. Everything was loose when I received it! A bit pricey perhaps.

Other: A decent buy.

Pros: -Easy to figure out, take apart, put back together. -I already had a CR123 flashlight and some spare batteries, so this was a good addition to my collection. -Pretty bright. -I love the high, low, and strobe modes, strobe would make a great distraction if I needed it. -The GITD button is useful sometimes, unless its in a pocket where it can't absorb light.

Cons: -It could be a little cheaper, but still in a good price range.

Other: It could be a little cheaper, but it's still worth buying.

Pros: What a cute little light! Plenty bright enough too; used it for night sledging in the Alps recently and could see more than enough to go fast. Has also been used as an emergency mountain bike light and, on low mode, to read with. Versatile, excellent light.

Cons: None really. Can get a bit warm but this keeps cold hands toasty so I guess it should be a pro! Could be a little cheaper?

Other: Excellent I would recomend it, buy one if you think you could use a really useful little light.
