The design is simple, what pleases me well and was one of the reasons for the purchase. Nevertheless, you do not have to features such as a weak Chock, a safe Tailstand (like a candle, for example for indirect lighting of a room / tent) dispense or the housing is equipped eyelet for the lanyard. In general, the lamp feels wertig what you would expect at a price of just 40 well.
An often-mentioned criticism is the slightly heavy tactility of the side switch. That would certainly have gone better. Although rubber would be nothing for my taste, but the material should settle haptic definitely when the form itself does not answer. Especially for power users that's certainly a real shortcoming. I can live with that.
Furthermore, the holster is not fit unfortunately with extension. If the tab to close only 1cm longer it would go. Too Bad. However, at least a few pips from the Velcro yet touching, very uncertain keeps the holster so together.
The levels of brightness: I think they put a lot of sense. Better than "tactical" version T12 high mode is selected. With 600 lumens still very bright, he is low enough to be able to light up continuously and stably. The 800 lumen in the TN12 are already too high, unnecessarily close to it on Turbo. The lamp will be considerably hotter and the power is then also relatively rapidly less. Except for the Turbo Mode that's how I find undesirable because I'd rather have my constant 600 lumens. For the last bit you still have the Turbo mode, which is similarly high in both. A very useful Fireflymodus is attending, should provide each lamp for my taste.
On frills as Strobe, SOS, etc. will be omitted, which I find personally good at such a rather simple lamp.
I would advise anyone who does not know what he wants to recommend the neutral white variant meets the optimal white point better. The difference in brightness is hardly visible, without a direct comparison anyway. But it looks more natural, resembling daylight.
To really the full power in Turbo without the extension tube (= more impressive;) to be able to get out you need cope with an unprotected 18350er battery, the high current. I got me a Efest Purple brought (the piece 5). The capacity is 700mAh very low, but he brings the necessary power loose and is quite safe, despite a lack of protection by the IMR chemistry. However, one must of course be careful that he is not completely discharged, or he is gone. The term is (avoid pushing =) with 700mAh and lack of cargo monitoring logically clearly limited, but if I need the lamp longer comes off the extension tube.
Be CR123A batteries also supported (a single but only partially), particularly if the lamp is not used so often can make sense, in sets of 10, they are now halfway affordable. For this one saves the charger and the batteries. The same here in the package purchasable set of charger and 2 batteries quality is good and worth the money, one must therefore also have no worries if everything fits together well. But it also raises the price by more than twice. Because as I said use only sporadically the lamp, I have therefore separately bought a 1-bay charger (Xtar-MC1) and a Keep Power 3100mAh battery, plus be able to use the mentioned Efest as a backup and to them even without renewal without restriction. Power good 20th
Because of its properties (simple design, no unnecessary modes, CR123A possible classical side switch, balanced beam, affordable price) is the neutron 2C also perfectly suitable as a gift for clueless with very old lamp. Many do not know what is now possible with such a small LED lamps, as a small wow-effect is almost guaranteed. But before that try, because, unfortunately, ...
... I also had a problem with the lamp, with extension tube she did not simply (without already). Could be like the other negative reviews of the same error. At least the suspicion of a quality problem comes to mind, I have to give unfortunately 1 star deduction. After exchanges on Amazon she now works but perfectly.
