Operation
There are two switches in this flashlight, one on the side and the other one on the tail. You can operate the flashlight independently of these switches. The switch on the head side is a bit hard, which means they make it intentionally so that you don't accidentally press it in the pocket.
The tail switch is covered with rubber and is very easy to click and operate.
Construction
The body is made out of strong Xenoy Polymer which is very hard and durable.
The outer design on the flashlight is made as a grenade pattern. This pattern helps you to grip the flashlight firmly in your hands if they are sweaty or wet.
One very clever feature on this flashlight is the bezel design. The bezel on this flashlight has a serrated edge; this is done to leak a little bit of light on the bottom of the light. When the light is placed on a flat table or any other surface, you would see the little light leaking and would alert you that the flashlight is on.
This is a nice little feature which we don't find in many other flashlights on the market.
