Great tactical flashlight!
Good tactical flashlight! Compact, super bright and seemingly very durable. Easy-to-use thumb button on rear of flashlight makes it easy to turn on/off in a hurry. Rechargeable battery seems to have good, long life after a charge. Can't vouch for how many lifetime charges it will deliver.
The "Intellibeam" element of this SureFire flashlight is a neat feature which dims the light as you approach the object of interest. At 15-20 feet, you have 1500 lumens. When you close to 6-8 feet, the flashlight automatically dims down to half that or less. This keeps you from "over-lighting the subject", and washing out your own ability to see details. Nice trick.
My only complaint (and it's a minor one) is that you have to double-click (or triple-click sometimes) the on/off button to access maximum illumination (which is really, really bright). Ideally, the flashlight would have two buttons or switches: one to simply turn it on/off; the other to select which level of illumination you want. That way, you wouldn't have to multi-click the on/off button to change the level of illumination. But this is a small complaint.
Net, net -- a great tactical flashlight. Much improvement over my prior flashlight, which had more features/options, but was impossible to use easily in rapid-fire situation.
