It runs on 18650 and is not rechargeable. It weighs 18.8 oz in an aluminum body 7.4 inches long. Measured against the 362 handheld lights in the index, it lands about in the middle for output (1,500 lumens), in the most intense quarter for beam intensity (265,000 candela), among the heaviest 10 percent for weight (18.8 oz), and about in the middle for price ($120). It is one of 127 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class.
