I ordered a couple on Monday and received them today Wed. My initial impression of the wide elliptical lense with the metal foil is good. I like the way it spreads the light out in all modes. I run SOS often as the roads are well lit and I really like the way the light spills onto the side streets offering a quite a bit more visibility. In the other modes the beam is also great. I am very impressed with shipping times and the free q tip and marine grease
