Nextorch K3 penlight, anyone?

Does anyone have it? I'm considering it... it's a penlight, I like the way they look... I liked the 4Sevens Preon 2 a lot, but I saw lots of reviewers complain about the tail switch... And I'm not in the mood of getting another unreliable light. The Nextorch K3 is also cheaper... available in my country... aaaaaaaand also offers 25 lumens for 38 hours ?!
Just a pic found somewhere on the internet for reference if you dont know what I'm talking about:

I have it (amongst other 2 aaa penlights) as I like this form factor. Build quality is fairly good. Beam tint and shape (rather floody or balanced) are nice...but UI is terrible. Mode memory plus disco-mode in the normal sequence make it hard to know/predict in which mode it comes on. So with Hi Med Lo Strobe you start with blinky after having used low....hm...dislike....but apart from this and regarding the price it's definitely ok. I prefer Eag(led)tac's PN20a2. Only two modes (tighten oder loosen head) on/oder with rear clicky (forward). Modes are subject to discussion but almost perfect for me.

Oh, I just realised a typo. Please read Eag(le)tac. Silly word-completion. Almost made the same mistake again.

Hey, thanks for the reply! Actually, I already ordered and received the Fenix LD05. Now that you mention the strobe comes there... without being "hidden" and that there's need to cycle through it.... I think I'm happy with my LD05 choice. Though the nextorch is certainly cheaper... and perhaps smaller/lighter.

You're welcome. Good choice definitely, not easy to acquire nowadays...I wanted one last year, but there were too many things (flashlights, tools, knives) with a higher priority...
