Small and efficient lamp. The rubber protection of the USB connector will not withstand heavy use, it is not known whether the USB connector itself is protected from moisture or not (the same way as in phones). In addition, the lamp has turned on once in a pocket, I noticed a burn on my thigh. The lamp does not turn on in a pocket if you turn the mounting clip to the power switch (the original idea was to protect the USB connector protection with the clip, but you can't protect two).| Overall rating |

It seems like a competent and efficient lamp, although I can't really test it in the middle of summer. The light intensity can be adjusted sensibly and the flashing function can be good in emergency situations. It takes up a tenth of the space in my gear bag that my previous, less efficient lamp did.| Overall rating |
The on/off button can easily be pressed if in EDC pouch or similar potentially causing burns or draining the battery.
