Works but not perfectly
I bought this for a home defense carbine. Functionally, it works quite well; at 1,000 lumens and 27k+ candela, it's a great light. My problem, however, came in when one day it magically decided to only be half as bright as usual. Additionally, the ten-tap function appears to not be working as intended for my light. I suspect this is probably because actuating the bolt release on my rifle affects battery contact with the coil in the tail cap. (I also decided to spraypaint my light OD green immediately upon getting in the mail, so warranties are not an option for me.) I plan on buying either new CR123A batteries or a new tailcap, and crossing my fingers that this fixes the issue(s). If not, I'm replacing this with an Arisaka 18650. This light works great when it actually does work, but my experiences with this thing's (lack of) reliability means that I cannot recommend this product to others.
