Amazing for the size, but...

You cant beat this thing's portability and weight... I forget its on my head all the time. Also, the multitude of light modes is a definite plus. I also love the pivot, you can just adjust it to wherever you need to look instantly.
Using it as a primary light, though, has its downfalls... for me it just isnt bright enough. Also, the little mechanism that locks the light into off mode (just a little plastic bump) broke off after about a month. Not a big deal, but it can get flicked on in a pack or something.

I agree with you on this. It is sweet for what it is, but it is what it is...and for me I don't know if it is quite bright enough as a primary light. But I am going to give it more chances... I haven't had any durability issues with mine so far.
