Good Points: High quality feel Strong Concentrated Beam
Bad Points: Direct Beam
General comments: As an operational police officer, a good quality torch was essential. I originally purchaseed the traditional 2-cell MagLite which I found to be weak and heavy (for its light output). Fellow officers tend to favour the more expensive SureFire series which although bright and portable, quickly eats up batteries. A bit of net-scanning and a few clicks later, I'd purchased bothan X0 and X5 in matching metal-silver finishes. Immediate impressions are of a good quality feel with a strong beam. Being an LED type torch, the more expensive Lithium batteries should last longer (so far they haven't been replaced).
Over time (and use), I've found the torch to be very bright but very focused, not great for area searches although brilliant for dazzling would-be attackers, and looking over long-distances. The finish is a smooth hexagonal design which although smart isn't great for when you're using it with cold wet hands.
All-in-all a great torch for the money spent.

The Inova XO is a rugged 1 watt luxeon star led torch. It has a medium spot beam (for leds)Not many led torches have tight spotlight type beams but they do give you very long battery life. This torch gives you four hours of regulated light. Which means the light output is constantly bright instead of getting dimmer and dimmer. The XO has a very thick shell which is water resistant.
