Powerful, Compact, Indiscreet

I bought this light back in 2017 (i think), so I've had it a while. I bought it as a utility/defense flashlight. As such, it is part of my EDC with my knife and handgun.
My three favorite features are as follows:
1) The light is powerful in dimly lit places. The beam floods very wide, but has a great focus. The battery life is good. Ive changed batteries twice since purchasing it (probably runs about 6 hours continuoisly, never tested it.)
2) It is durable. I've dropped it many times. It has scuffed a bit after landing on pavement, but no impact on performance. It has gotten wet many times with no issues. Just a few scratches, same great light!
3) It is compact and discreet. When I carry this light, I can carry it on my belt or in my pocket. Either way, it is small enough to carry comfortably. It also doesnt draw attention. Which is nice.

Now here are the issues.
1) If any sand or grit gets in the twist-to-focus area it will make a sound and sometimes grind up a bit. Nothing worth complaining about, though.
2) Sometimes the clip comes off of the casing releasing the light from my belt. This usually happens if I sit down in a car with lots of bolstering. Just be aware it may run away from you if you're not careful.

great multi mode light

I bought is for a second set of equipment, I wanted a PX25, as that is what I already have (single mode, nice and simple), but it was sold out were I brought this. This light is brighter on the high setting and has been used a lot. The multi mode is not my favorite, but has it's place. I have used the low mode at night when the dome light went out in the vehicle I was using. I was able to see to do paperwork without blinding myself and able to switch to high mode when I needed more light to see outside the vehicle.

Average output package. When focused to 'beam' it still has a halo that produces heavy flashback, unusable in many situations such as from a vehicle window or on a porch/deck. Twist function for beam stays in place when clipped in your pocket, thats good, but it exposes about a 1/4" of the frame that when twisted back down one finds it harbors dust and debris from edc.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've only had the PX1 for a short time, but I bought it to replace a similar sized Coast flashlight which I lost in the field a few months ago. I am a volunteer firefighter so I need to keep a reliable flashlight with me all the time. The PX1 fits very nicely in the tool pocket of my pants, it carries easily, the clip is quite strong, and so far has been utterly reliable. It is sturdy and provides great light. So far I'm very happy with it.

I recently got the px1 after my px25 stopped working, I learned the px25 is discontinued and am very disappointed to hear. The px1 has adjustable beam and a high low setting, it gets very annoying having to double click the button and no where near the beam distance as it's predecessor. It's bigger than the px25 has too much going on. I prefer my lights to turn on and off when needed. Not a Swiss army style apparatus.

This flashlight is used every day and I consider it to be very reliable. It's light weight and has 3 different lighting features. The best part the adjustable beam is perfect for darker areas and shedding light in mechanical equipment.
