Conclusion (for translation)
The TAC AA is average at best. It's advertised as a tactical flashlight, but has a standard EDC UI, terrible ringy beam profile, no regulation with 14500 batteries, and when using an AA battery it cycles Low, Ultra-Low, Med, High. Also, the 14500 battery arrived at 2.7v and has high parasitic drain, I emailed them about it and received no response. On the plus side it has a nice neutral white tint despite being 6500K, throws really well, and has excellent build quality.
Personally, I don't think I'd buy the TAC AA for $40 USD. The Cyansky P12R is $46 and is better in every way, minus a little range.
Pros:
• Range
• Build Quality
• Neutral Tint
• AA/14500 Compatible
Cons:
• Unregulated with 14500
• Ringy Beam
• Non Tactical UI
• Battery at 2.7v
