Batteries and charger, oh no!
I understand this is an exceptional price for a light like this but I believe there is some misleading information about this product. The Bad:First and not a deal breaker but it does not come with a battery charger. I went back and looked and there is no mention of a charger but does state "includes rechargeable batteries" and there is the real problem. The operation time chart provided in the instructions list 8hr (low) and 2hrs (high). These ratings are for 2 lithium ICR22650 batteries but the ICR16650 batteries are included with the light. This is the difference of at least half of the run time or maybe more depending on whether testing was done with a 4000mah or a 5200mah option. This is disappointing knowing if I want the full run time I need to spend another $20 or so in batteries.It was delivered in a flimsy plastic case that is pretty much worthless after opening because once you mount the light on the Goodman handle or the head mount it no longer fits back in the case.The Goodman handle base that the light mounts to is plastic while everything else is aluminum.Instructions are poor its more list of warnings then instructions.The good:It did come with some extra O-rings for the battery canister and a small package of silicone presumably to lubricate the O rings. Again there's no instructions on the accessories.The light itself seems to be of quality materials and appears to be well built. I'll try to provide an update after I have a chance to use the light

Buy from manufacturer website.
The light i received from prime came flooded, after some talk with Ano i ended up with a light directly from them.Three night dives in and this light is fantastic, i found myself running it on the lowest brightness setting almost throughout the entire duration of the dives. it gets bright, really, really bright. the focus punches out far and you get enough spread to illuminate everything in front of you at the same time.battery life is good and with it using 18650's i recommend picking up more as spares and a good 4 battery charger, the charger included works fine but only does a single battery at once. or go to the larger 26650 and a couple spares for improved run time. and the indicator light on the head around the button is very nice.The second off switch on the canister is great, no worries of it turning on in my bag or stored away.this is a fantastic light at a great price point, had my worries but so far its great. i will upload a video review of it shortly after i put a few more dives on it and at greater depths.Very happy with it this far, and the customer support from Ano is incredible.

Incredible price on a solid light
This is not the absolute brightest light you can buy but it's not designed to be. This is more than an effective entry level technical light with VERY impressive output from a single LED. I bought it as a backup to my primary but this can serve as a primary for most applications. The best part is the overall compact size and very light weight - small head and very slim canister. Think these are a closeout item so pick one up as soon as possible as you will never find a brighter light for this price.

It worked for 5 minutes...Read the update and another update
I bought this light because the low price and its light weight for travel, I've tested with fully charged included batteries and worked well for 5 minutes, a very decent light beam for the price and size, after 5 minutes it started to flicker for about 30 to 45 seconds, then started to switch on its own between dim to very dim and ultra dim for about 2 minutes, after that stopped working. the battery charge indicator was green all this time, when taking the canister cap off there was a fine white line on some of the threads. I've returned the product and requested the refund...I will have to wait few days to get my money back, now start a new research for a better light,UPDATE:After returning the unit to the seller, I was contacted by Kevin and he offered me to send me a new tested dive light of the same model because the one I got was defective, so I can try it and test it for a while. After around a month I received the light, (1 light was lost after shipping) so here is my opinion,The packaging is very poor and with no instructions at all, so you will have to find it on Youtube, it comes with a couple of spare O rings, 2 batteries and a charger for a single battery.The canister uses 2 batteries 18650 and has 2 caps, one on each end, I guess it has 2 caps for better access and cleaning of the inside of the canister, but it also may add another point for leaks. each end has 2 O rings, because the lack of instructions it took me few trials to turn the light on since it has has 2 turn on/off buttons, one on the head light and the other on the canister, so to turn it on, while pressing the light head button, click once the one on the canister and after 3 seconds it will turn on, just repeat to turn it off.With fully charged provided batteries, I went for 2 North East wreck dives at 130 ft this time the lights worked flawlessly, dark green waters, with no more than 15 ft viz. I was comparing its beam with my buddy's priced over a thousand dollars canister light and there was some obvious difference but nowhere 10 times less than his (price difference), actually surprisingly very powerful light bean. Mi first dive was for 60 minutes running time and the second 55 minutes, I used the same batteries at full power throughout both dives and the power indicator light of the head light button was still on green, I did not use at all the medium or low settings.After the dives, I cleaned it with fresh water just as a regular procedure and I haven't seen any signs of rust that may appear on some other canisters/materials .So I am looking forward to dive many more times with this light, but at the moment is to early to talk about reliability, anyhow, I have some videos that I will be posting later on.I am changing my initial 1 star rating to only 4 stars at the moment, just because I only tried it twice.UPDATEI did 12 dives with this light before a trip to the Red Sea, during my second wreck dive at 120 Ft there, the light leaked into the head unit and the canister. Before this leakage, I really liked the light , I think it has potential, but 2 light sets malfunctioning in less than 15 dives...no good.

Would not buy again.
Worked great for a bit. Light went dim very quickly. The company worked with me no problem getting me a new light. Different problem with the battery compartment.

Operating Instructions are Incorrect!
Don't be in a rush to return, but contact the vendor for correct operation procedure. The claim that this is a 6 degree spot is highly exaggerated. Seems to be well built, but will have to get it in the water to check it out.
