First impression: It's nice, I really like the new switch that Sofirn used here. It's like the large switch from Wurkkos, just smaller and far better than the hard, wobbly switch they used in the past.

The tint is mediocre and the Fresnel lens creates some rings. Unfortunately also some tint variation from spot to spill. Overall pretty soft beam, but not too floody.

It appears like the bezel is press fit, but it has a small gap and it might be possible to open it.

Interesting place to attach the clip. There's this large groove at the front. Looks little weird without a clip, though.

A magnet is included as well, but it can only be used when no lanyard is attached (D'oh!).

I will write a full review, but it will take some weeks because I have quite a lot other flashlights in the queue.

I should have also said... The last three numbers are the diameter. The numbers before that are the length.

Other way around. If it was as you said, it’d be a pancake. 18350 is 18 mm diameter and 35 mm long

Thank you for correcting me. There may be a need for disc-shaped batteries somewhere, but I definitely had it backwards.

Digital watches are supposed to be kinda neat. Hearing aids too.

@Curious_Canid I read somewhere that the last digit is the shape : 0 for cylindrical

You're right. I should have looked it up and not relied on my somewhat faulty memory. Thanks for the correction.
