Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

In general, I am very pleased with this flashlight for the money. I think in this category the ideal option on the market. I wanted to immediately take another one, my father. All hands will not reach no matter how. The lantern is excellent, even to take it purely for the house, in the garage or for any household purposes, it will be a very good purchase. Even as a gift, it will be a good solution. The only thing that can confuse is the coloring. I like this color, so for me it's more a plus than a minus. Although when working in dirty conditions, it will get very dirty and will be noticeable immediately. Well, not the point, I can advise you to purchase a flashlight. If in doubt, look at the reviews on YouTube, I think there is something there. In the photo, where the room is, I tried to move the camera away so that you could see the angle of illumination. But it turned out to be more, the camera does not capture everything. Light only from the lantern, no additional light. On this I will end, thank you all for your attention)

Pros

The lantern is not big, not heavy, sits well on the head. There is a soft lining. The elastic band is also comfortable and adjustable. There are 4 modes, they differ in power and there are no strobe lights and any unnecessary modes. At the exit there is a matte diffuse plastic insert, this was the most important for me, because with it there is no light in the center and the light is diffused and pleasant to work with. The angle of the beam of light is wide, it was also important for me in choosing this model, it feels about 160 degrees. Now to the point. This model has a magnetic lantern attachment to the main frame. As a result, it can be removed, leaving everything else on the head and hung on a magnet on any metal structure. Very convenient when working in one place. The rest can be removed and the head unloaded from the elastic and the base. For me, the Akum 18650 is also a big plus, as well as the ability to get it out and insert another one by unscrewing just the side cover. By the way, yes, there is moisture and dust protection, the presence of rubber bands and plugs. Also under the plug there is a charging compartment with indication (micro usb). The price is also acceptable, took around 1200. For such a flashlight and all its pluses, the price surprised me. Initially counted on 5-6k when choosing. And then I accidentally stumbled upon this lantern and decided why not give it a try. In the end, he was satisfied.

Cons

Of the shortcomings, I would single out the power button. It is almost flush with the body and does not stand out almost, with gloves it is difficult to find and press it. It would be better to make it slightly protruding or recessed, but highlight the landing site itself with some kind of projections. This brings discomfort. Also switching modes, I would like some kind of scrolling to adjust the beam power . . The button is still not convenient, switching is also not very convenient, if you press immediately, the modes change from the brightest and descending. But, if you wait for some time, for example, you are working, the light is too bright and you need to make it weaker, then by pressing the button it will first turn off, then turn it on again and poke to the desired mode. This is long and, given the inconvenience of the button, creates problems. A knob would be an ideal solution, or another button, softer, purely for modes, and turn on / off done separately. Another minus, now very common, is a charging socket with micro usb, there has been typesi for a long time, this is not an innovation, why not do it right. I already have almost no devices with micro usb, all chargers are with typesie. This causes discomfort too. You have to change the charging cable, it’s the same in the power bank, carry an extra wire with you, which is always lost among working things in a backpack. Other than that, I don't think there are any cons.
