This is a polymer version of the Popular Z2 Combat light. Qualitative differences appear to be nil even though this model at $75 is five dollars cheaper than the original.
The advertized 60 Lumens seems to be about as bright as the old Sealed beam spots we used to plug into the cigarette lighter jack. It has some value as a hand-held Flash/Bang and is no doubt impressive in that role when fitted with the accessor that doubles the light output while reducing the battery life from 60 to 30 minutes.
It weights just over 4 oz and at less than 5" loa, it is a handy package. The button switch is located at the back of the case making it equally suited to the Harris method and what SureFire calls the Rogers SureFire Method that appears to be geared toward the isoseles stance.
The unit also has a continuous beam setting and is clutz-friendly in that there is a locking mode which, when engaged,positively prevents leaving the thing on by accident.
It runs on two discardable Lithium batteries which are relatively expensive to replace but offer a ten year shelf-drawer life in the inert state.
All in all, the recent industry hoorah about the SureFire lights seems to be well justified.
