An upgrade for some

Bought this as an upgrade for my older PM50R without laser and red options. This new one last longer, is brighter, has a laser pointer, and has a red light option (which I find handy to preserve my night vision. My disappointment lies with where the buttons are located. The buttons are located on the side without recess or a lockout feature. So when in my pants/ tool pocket I've often inadvertently turned the light on. With both lights facing inside my pocket I often don't realize the light has been turned on until I reach to use it and it's already dead. Be careful using it in a pocket with anything that could push the button.
Knowing before hand it is correct that the light is more area lighting than spot which is alright, the laser pointer helps a could deal showing coworkers something hard to pinpoint in our facility. Only thing would make it better is a lockout feature as even though not often it does get triggered in my pocket from time to time.
I have two of them now. One in my truck and one in our motorhome. One of the best pocket size flashlights I have owned. Love that it is rechargeable, no batteries to corrode.
I bought this a few months ago and so far it's been proven to be an amazing light but my small issue is that since I work on cars and I need it right as the engine is hot it ended up melting the glue holding the magnet in and well now it will keep coming out when pulled off the surface so be mindful that heat will end up making the magnet come out I just wish that they make it be sealed inside the light with something that can be taken off like a small plate that screws over it to hold it in so you don't need to worry about the magnet coming out.
