Design / Build Quality:★★★★★
The machining are just perfect without any imperfection, the anodizing are smooth, a little glossy black. The square anodized threads are easy to tighten. At the tail cap the F7 have two O-ring for a perfect water sealing. Insaide the spring contact on both side, head and tail, are electro gold plating. The whole body is anti-roll with rubber for the three fingers start (cigar like). The reflector are just perfect, so smooth! You can barely see the signs of machining with a magnifying glass. For the sealing of the lens ( with anti-reflection coatings) there is a o’ring that glows in the dark. Tail stand. The amount of details are just unbilivable in a so small a flashlight.
Body grip texture.
Square threads, double O-ring and rubber for the three fingers start (cigar like)
Electro gold plating, tail and head springs.
A lot of spare parts.
Glows in the dark O-ring.
Battery Life:★★★★☆
I have tested only two mode low and high: high 1,2hrs/low 5,3hrs slightly below the factory
records. For one Xm-l T6 led at around 390 real lumens 1,2 hrs on high with two cr123 li-ion high quality battery is right… But with the modern 2012 driver maybe you can do better maybe… but is ok for the price 49,99. You can use two cr123 or one 18650 rechargeable, protected or un-protected.
Light Output:★★★★☆
The light output is ok, not great, real 390lumens,for the cool withe version, but is offset by a perfectly focused beam and a long trowing (around 200meters tested by me) with a good amount of spill.
High Xeno F7 vs TrustFire tr3 t6 (3meters distance)
Xeno F7 390 lumens
Tr3 T6
MID
Xeno F7 135 lumens

Color comparison: Xeno F7 left Tr3 T6 right
Summary:★★★★★
For the price i think is on top! This flashlight have technical solutions that only the most expensive can afford. Strong, well-made, high-quality materials, high-tech components. THE TOP.
Grazie! Spero vi sia piaciuta!
