Spot is easy to live with: memory modes, a red night mode, and enough output. The same button that makes it convenient makes it turn on in the pack. That is a user problem with a one-time fix. The elastic will wear out years before the LED does.

Who should buy it. Campers who want red light and simple modes.

Best for. Camp chores and short night hiking

Standout limitation. PowerTap is easy to bump on
