RETURNS ARE A PAIN
After a long search, I bought on Amazon an Acebeam P17. It is a good brand, a very solid light, good in every field... but nothing is perfect, the 2 buttons of the tail are not practical, disturbing if you need to press stroboscope in a hurry when problems. So this P17 is not good at all "as a Defender", only for this important & desperate lack (bad form factor at the worth place for a tactical light). Unfortunately, despite the "protection of Amazon", the return of the light is ridiculous, scandalous, because the English Acebeam does't send you an automatic Post Office label like do all the big brands on Amazon ; worth Acebeam sends you a label to send the parcel back to England (Customs between France & UK very slow because Brexit) when most of the Amazon returns are sent in an Amazon stock in France usually (so quick refund), but Acebeam ask you more ! to pay yourself the return (22 euros from France, 20 % of the sale price, not really knowing who will pay me back ; not clear). I don't want to pay 20 ¨of my light to send something to England, I don't want to make the slave of Acebeam, I don't want to wait for 20/30 days to get my money back : so I have no choice and am trying bro sale myself the P17 on French sweb sites : I will loose money... DON'T BUY ACEBEAM IF YOU COULD HAVE TO RETURN IT : IT'S A PAIN, A TORTURE !... I BOUGHT INSTEAD THE INCREDIBLE & PERFECT KLARUS XT21X PRO, WICH IS MORE MODERN AS A FORM FACTOR... AND HAS 2 BUTTONS VERY FAST & PRACTICAL TO GO TO TURBO VERY QUICK.
