" ... I love the ramping mode of this flashlight. ... "
" ... The Sofirn P32A is a very good budget flashlight. ... This light is a great EDC and general all-around purpose light. ... * Ramping feature is very good (not quite as smooth as Narsil, but works well) ... However, for the average person getting into the 18650 flashlight world, I would recommend the Sofirn SP32A as a first light for cost savings. ... "
" ... Good quality solid light. ... "
" ... Good all around utility light. ... "
" ... The multi function is unique in that there are two primary modes, and when in each mode you have multiple brightness settings. ... "

" ... For the price, it is amazing that you are receiving a battery and charger so that you're ready to go right out of the box. ... "

" ... The battery seems to last forever, although, I typically use it at the lowest power. ... "
" ... It comes with a Sofirn 18650 button-top battery rated at 3000 mAh (I don’t have equipment to test this claim). ... The Sofirn is cheaper on Amazon and comes with battery, charger (the A6 does not). ... I have (3) of my own BLF A6 lights and love them (with separately purchased tube, you can shorten A6 and run on 18350 batteries - a nice option). ... "
" ... The flashlight comes with an unprotected 18650 3000mAh lithium battery. ... I did not test it to see whether it is actually a 3000mAh battery, but it does feel heavy and seems to be a good quality cell. ... In the kit, you will also get a lithium battery charger and a lanyard for the flashlight. ... "

" ... I got the kit that comes with the charger and battery. ... "
" ... It comes with an external single-battery charger very similar to the Xtar (pictured) that I use when I travel. ... * A built-in USB charging system would make it even more flexible for travel and less parts to misplace ... The Sofirn is cheaper on Amazon and comes with battery, charger (the A6 does not). ... "
" ... It would still be a great deal even if the batter and charger were not included. ... "

" ... It now has a voltage remaining indicator led in the button. ... "
" ... I'm fine with this light not being an end-clicker like many, but if the collar-mounted power button was recessed into the body, the risk of accidental turn-ons would be significantly reduced. ... "
" ... Construction is good and side switch takes some practice. ... "
" ... Does take a little getting used to the button programming but the two program groups is nice. ... "
" ... I have a rather labor intensive job and I've accidentally hit the button a few times with it in my pocket while working. ... "

The housing appears to be sturdy enough to absorb impact from a fall from waist level with little to no damage, but I'm not too sure about the glass toughness . ... "
