Excellent flashlight with good throw and cool white light. It arrived in Greece in 21 days. Apart from the front glass which was dirty from the inside and I had to clean it, I didn’t find any quality problems. It was well lubricated. The aluminum body is well anodized. It has sharp edges, especially in the tail. It seals with double o-rings, so it is well protected when it’s raining. The tail cap is black, so it doesn’t glow in the dark. Although the page says that the package includes 1 x carrying strap, 2 x o-rings and 1 x tail cap, I didn’t receive any of those. I have contacted CService and I hope they will send them, because I need both the glow in the dark tail cap and the lanyard for safety. It seems that it can be used as a power bank, but I haven’t tried it yet. Banggood has a tendency to sell things without manuals or proper instructions and the CT9T was not an exception. For those who are wondering, here is how it works:*You can turn it on only by the tail switch. You cannot turn it on using the side button unless it has already been turned on first by the tail switch. *If you want to cycle through modes (High - Middle - Low - Strobe - SOS) you can do it either by the tail switch, or by short pressing the side button. It has a Turbo mode which is activated from any mode by quick double clicking on the side button, but it lasts only for one minute.*You can turn it off (actually you put it on stand by mode) by long pressing the side button. The side button flashes red when the battery voltage is low.In comparison with my Convoy C8, it is heavier and bigger, both in length and in width. Although my C8 has orange peel reflector, I can’t say that the CT9T with the deeper reflector had a so much better throw compared to C8. Also I couldn’t see much difference between turbo and high mode. +Pros: Good quality, firmly build, good throw, firm side button, low voltage warning, looks pricey. -Cons: Sharp base (tail), turbo mode lasts for one minute.*Conclusion: A nice and worth buying flashlight.
