Definitely NOT 1600 Lumens & Worrisome Charger
I recently purchased a Wuben 1200 Lumen 18650 light on Amazon (which is awesome) and looked for a second unit with higher output. Saw this well reviewed 16000 Lumen Comunite for approx the same price and hit Buy It Now. It arrived quickly (with two "3200mAh" batteries) but it seemed that its output was a little dim. I took out the charger and was disturbed by how flimsy it is. A sliding finger gets pulled back and the battery inserted, but the finger doesn't slide so much as stutter and bend, and its hard to imagine it will last very long. The batteries also don't say they have internal protection, and as I was dubious on the charger, I opted to charge both batteries in a dedicated Nitecore D2 (also bought here on Amazon).After charging I tried each of the batteries but the output was still dim (and seemed to get dimmer while the light was on) so I decided to compare it to the Wuben 1200. I used the Wuben's battery in both lamps to eliminate one variable and the difference was startling. The Community isn't 1600 Lumens, and apparently isn't even 1200 Lumens. (You can see the Comunite and Wuben side-by-side in the attached photos.)The Comunite is going back and my advice, if you want a solid small handheld light, is to check out the Wuben. (I have no relation to either company and paid full price with no reimbursement for both products)Update 09/13/18: Comunite customer service has reached out understand what happened and try to get me a replacement unit. Upgrading review by one star for proactive customer service and will review replacement when received and further update review if appropriate at that time.

Very good pocket light
If you want a sturdy rechargeable flash light thats easy to store and use this is for you!This light has a lot of pros going for it:Very bright with 5 modes in order: Bright, medium, low, flashing, SOSCame with 2 rechargeable batteries and a wall plug to charge themVery good compact build qualityExtra replacement rings for the opening the flash lightIt is at least water resistant as I used it in the rain but I am not really keen to drop it in a glass of water to test its "water proofness"Comes with a very nice strap much better quality then most other pocket flashlightslong battery life-> have yet to need to recharge the batteries.Some possible cons:Alternative way to charge the battery if you don't have the battery charger with you(micro usb/usb c on flash light)Possibly a few grooves or grip enhancements on the mid body of the flash light so it would be easier to grip when wet.Overall for this price this is a great flashlight to invest in and the cons are more of some pickiness that can be easily fixed (carrying the extra battery and putting a skin/gel over the mid body).

Nice light for the money
It is a well built light with 3 brightness settings. It also sports a strobe setting and SOS setting. The light doesn't come with a pocket clip nor does it seem to be capable of accepting one.I run 18650 rechargeable batteries in this size light. Not having timed it but the low setting seems to last quite a while with every day use. When the med or high settings are used then the battery duration is much lessAll in all a good light. The only thing I don't like about it is that the brightness settings are not separate from the strobe and sos so you have to cycle through all of them.

Good price on a very bright light. The most beam for your buck. Perfect color as well.
I've tried to use plug in charging flashlights and they always clog or jam in the USB port. This needs to be charged out of it's body but they are the smallest and brightest flashlight and a very good price. Some LED emitters don't have a very good color but this one is the perfect spectrum. I have purchased a few more as nice gifts to family, friends, and business acquaintances. They are great.

Took forever to arrive deffective
This took weeks to get to me and when it arrived the flashlight would not come on until I pressed the switch numerous times and then it would not stay lit. I think the switch is defective. Tried to return to seller and they did not respond, filing a claim now - again.

I like this light. Excellent creamy cool white tint nice diffused throw. S2+ alternative
This light has a great tint and its brighter and has a further throw than my stock convoy s2+ its got nice heft and a premium feel to the finish. its very pocketable. the switch is pretty quiet. A lot of pluses if you know flashlights. This is a very solid buy.

dont let the size fool you.. works great
I really like this light. I can attach to a belt loop and has plenty bright light to see my immediate surroundings. I'm not a fan of headlamps during camping and hiking so I prefer to just hold this like a flashlight if I need to direct the light more.
