Tl;DR: This is a fun, compact enthusiast light with Anduril 2 firmware, a great driver, RGB aux LEDs, and a lovely main LED. Overall performance is excellent, though I’d like more throw. The clip is superb and it’s small and light in the pocket. It’s just about everything an enthusiast could want in a daily carry light. Unfortunately it has one critical flaw; it turns on in my pocket. There’s no reason to carry a light that does that when there are so many great options that don’t have that problem.

I’ve yet to find a tail e-switch that doesn’t turn on in my pocket, and to me it’s something that comes with the form factor. Hell, most side switches do it too, unless it’s the super recessed type you can option on some Hank lights.
As long as there’s convenient and fast lockout (and bonus points for momentary during lockout) I think it’s acceptable. I still prefer mechanical clickies, but those are becoming increasingly rare.
I’ve liked mine a lot. I got the v1 from Jl Hawaii. I had an issue and he fixed it very quickly. I don’t think mine has turned on in my pocket but the click is stiffer than the other one I bought for my friend
Yeah one of my favorite lights, the signal tube connection is a serious flaw though. Once every few battery changes some gunk gets on it or the spring then it goes haywire and will turn itself on by itself and then resets itself when I unscrew to fix.
I mean it has Anduril just set the lock out and don’t worry about it?
