Not saying it is good or bad flashlight, but fyi filled with Vine reviews (ie inflated 4.6 score, over 40% of the 68 reviews are vine, and all cleverly hidden on page 2 and 3 on my mobile in the reviews)

You are not wrong, but on the flipside, it's a legit way for sellers to get reviews for new items. Rather than going through sneaky channels where they pay off folks to guarantee good reviews and risk getting banned.

Also, while there are certainly a lot of low quality Vine reviews, there is no incentive for them to leave a good review. Handing out 1 star reviews will not affect their Vine membership, as long as they are (sound) fairly honest. Best would be to read more in-depth reviews from ZeroAir or BLF and such, so you don't have to wade through the "bought this for my uncle who is blind and it works fabulous for him so I recommend it" reviews.

As for the light, good price for a lot of power in a small form factor, BUT, the lumens are grossly overstated, and due to the small form factor drop down to something like 600 quickly, according to reviews. This is all just physics and normal until we get emitters even more efficient than LEDs. Also, it's a thrower (spot rather than flood), best for walking around or blinding attackers, not so great for close-up repairs or lighting up rooms. Cold light temperature and low CRI too if that's a concern.

I can also second ZeroAir and BudgetLightForums reviews. Their scientific testing process is great. They are so fun to read I even read reviews on lights I had no intention of buying lol.

This is why I am opposed to the endless threads added here by staff and otherwise to promote the Sofirn, Wurkkos, etc. conglomerate Chinese company. SD is a valuable destination ONLY to the extent that purely crowd-sourced votes and recommendations prevail: interference with bias will ruin this place.

Yes. We know how you feel. Why? Because for some reason it seems that it is your primary goal in life to say the same BS on EVERY SINGLE POST involving a Sofirn or Wurkkos flashlight. Light a flashlight Nazi but different.

And yet you tell me to get a life.

You either work for a competitor, or you are just projecting.

And FTR, most everything posted on SD comes from China and usually someone somewhere gets a kickback. Again, I get nothing for posting this.
