I bought two of these lights. They are indeed powerful. But neither one lasted more than 1 year. The plastic casing of the light is weak and it cracked within 6 months. The other's charging interface (little gold pin arrangement) failed way too soon as well and it wouldn't charge at all. You really need to rethink the design from a durability aspect. I absolutely BABIED these things too. I wouldn't buy another flashmax without some serious upgrades to the durability. The new flashmax is thin, light, fragile, and feels cheap in the hand. They really should be cased in aluminum and have a more robust charging interface.You might have a real winner then. These things don't hold a candle to the Valo.
