“I have the Skilhunt 150. I like everything except the switch button sticks up. Which means I have to use lockout if I carry it.. Since I dont like the extra steps to lock and unlock, I dont carry it. My favorite is the Emisar D2. The switch does not stick up, so I dont have to lock it out. There are two versions, a dual channel (but does not work on AA).. and a Single Channel, that does work on AA. In both cases, I request they build it to use Button top batteries. (by replying to the order confirmation email to specify the change) https://preview.redd.it/9i21da4i6s8g1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f91db76fe7ac9773bf0b8ffb8351dc207755488 the Dw3AA was too chunky for me, I like smaller form factor. The HD10 does not work on AA, and the driver has PWM the Zebra has no magnet, and current version is AA/Eneloop only”

“I have about thirty. So far, the only one that had a problem was a first-batch D2 that had the PCB not glued in the tailcap. WOund up losing the PCB during a battery swap because cat. I emailed Hank and got a couple (free) replacement tailcaps tossed into my next order.”
