2,030 Lumens of Tactical Power
The M5 Gen3 throws a massive 2,030-lumen beam that lights up entire rooms, trails, and parking lots. Multiple brightness levels let you dial the output from low-power conservation mode all the way up to full turbo, while a dedicated strobe mode provides a disorienting defensive option when you need it most.

I have carried Surefires and Streamlights for years but this M5 Gen3 blows them away for the price. 2,030 lumens on turbo is absurdly bright and the rechargeable battery means no more buying CR123s. The tail switch has a solid click and the pocket clip sits deep. This is my new daily carry.

I work security at a large warehouse complex and this light is exactly what I needed. Lights up the entire loading dock on high, and the strobe mode is genuinely disorienting if you need it. Aluminum body feels indestructible. I dropped it off a forklift and it still works perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone on night duty.

The brightness is incredible and the build quality is top notch. Aluminum body, knurled grip, solid tail switch. I use it hiking and for walking the dog at night. Only reason for 4 stars is I wish it had a visible battery level indicator so I know when to recharge. Otherwise a perfect EDC light.

I live on a rural property and heard commotion in the chicken coop at 2 AM. Hit the turbo mode on this M5 and it lit up the entire yard. A coyote froze in the beam and took off running. The strobe sealed the deal. This flashlight is now permanently on my nightstand. Worth every penny for peace of mind.
