 Special Features: 

 
 
 
  

   Light Beam
   : Combines Spotlight (3,000 lumens, 550 m, focused beam) and Lumin Shield (5,000 lumens, wide floodlight). High mode activates both sets of LEDs for balanced light, lower modes only the central throw LED. The beam is smooth with a soft transition thanks to the OP reflector, but floodlight dominates on high modes. Users praise: "Incredible brightness for the size, ideal for EDC and tactical purposes!"  
   
 
    
 
     
 
      
 
       

         
       
 
      
 
     
 
    
 
   
 
  
 
 
 
  

   Handling
   : Compact and lightweight, fits in your pocket. Intuitive two-stage operation, but the switch requires some getting used to for precise pressure. The lockout slider is robust, but can be tricky to use with gloves. Criticism: Non-replaceable battery and heat generation in Turbo (automatic dimming after minutes).  
   
 
    
 
     
 
      
 
       

         
       
 
      
 
     
 
    
 
   
 
  
 
 
 
 
  

   Versatility
   : Perfect for EDC, outdoors, tactical use, or emergencies. IP68 protection and 2m drop resistance make it rugged. The included holster is high-quality, but the serrated flashlight can snag when pulled out. The optical sensor protects against damage but can dim unexpectedly in tight spaces.
