Complete analysis review
For starters, this is probably the cheapest weapon light I’ve ever bought. And so my expectations were low. But right out of the box I was again shocked by Feyachi. The size and weight are perfect for my tastes. Honestly, blown away by how it felt in my hands and handled. I definitely didn’t expect to even like this light let alone be impressed by it. I’ve never loved pressure pads with my weapon lights. I understand the purpose but typically prefer just a push button on the back. I installed pressure pad to try it out here’s what I found: it just snaps onto the picatinni rail of my free float hand guard. That’s it. Snaps right on, it was kind of a let down, the mounting system is cheap plastic and just snaps on! I like heavy duty screws and metal stuff! So we’ll see if it lasts! One feature I LOVE is the Velcro strap to lock down the electric wiring. In the past I’ve used zip ties(which melt off with heat) or black electrical tape and that velcro goes on clean and holds the wire down tight. Something I’m still unsure of is the light takes a proprietary size battery which comes with a charger. Now, on one hand I’m disappointed it doesn’t accept standard AA or AAA but this is one LARGE battery. And it fits the battery compartment like a glove so I’m hoping Feyachi was able to maximize battery life and performance by doing that. If you ever need a new battery I’m optimistic that will be so far in the future I won’t care since this was a budget light, but I’ll be updating this review in the near future to talk about battery life! Another pro for me is the light setting, followed by a strobe function. Now, I notice using the pressure pad, it only allows for a momentary on/off which is actually fantastic so you don’t reveal your location. Overall I’m surprised and pleased once again by Feyachi. Are there things I’d change? Yes. For the money I think they did a great job. I applaud Fayachi for being willing to step outside the box and try new creative things. Again I’ll be doing an update soon to talk about battery life and functionality. But for now I’m quite pleased.

The BEST first weapon light for beginners!
First impressions, I normally run Surefire or Streamlight weapons lights. I wanted to try something to recommend to people who can’t afford the more expensive name brands. The mount appears to be compatible with Surefire M300/M600 style mounts. Rechargeable batteries didn’t give me any issues, constant light, no flickering issues. Night bright hot spot comparable to my surefire, and generous spill to help when scanning large wide open areas. For half the price of a Streamlight and for a sixth of the price of a Surefire, this is a great starting point to get into night shooting!

Unable to Change Operating Modes
Update: 12/28/2021:If you experience a problem that Amazon cannot resolve by replacing the light, don't bother trying to contact Feyachi using the email address found on their website. After 8-weeks of emailing back and forth, Feyachi refuses to recognize and resolve the problem with changing operating modes as described in the manual.It's a shame that such a nice light having three operating modes (High/Strobe, High Only, and High/Low) cannot be changed as the User Manual Describes. The manual says to press the tail switch with 9-half taps (within 0.4 sec per tap) followed by a deep hold until light goes off in approximately 2-secs. Trouble is, light never goes off.Also, manual does not specify what the starting condition is for changing the operating mode--Are you supposed to begin the procedure with the light on, or with the light off. I've tried both without success.There is no telephone support from Feyachi. You have to go to their website to find an email address.

Pretty good budget light, remote switch is useless
The light itself is pretty good for the price. I like the fact that you can select high and low light modes, even though the programming process is a bit cumbersome. I also like the fact that it comes with 2 18650 rechargeable batteries and a basic charger. On the other hand, the remote switch is complete garbage. I removed the pic rail attachment to mount the switch on an MLOK rail being careful not to over-tighten. I had to relocate the switch a couple to times to find just the right spot and the plastic around one of the screw holes broke off, rendering the switch useless for me. However, even if the switch had not broken, it would still be pretty useless because the cap that screws onto the light itself does not have a swivel for the cable. That means every time you need to remove the battery from the light to charge it, you mangle the cable to the remote switch, something which I imagine breaks the cable over time. So, I use the light only, having mounted it on the left side at the 10:30 position which allows me to use my thumb to easily manipulate the light and it feels pretty natural. It’s my first Feyachi light; having bought multiple Streamlight Protac HLX which I am extremely satisfied with. Given the issues with the switch, I will probably stick with the Streamlights in the future even though it’s twice the price but you get better all-around quality.

A pretty good, full kit and ready to use light system for the price
Comes with battery, and battery charger, the light unit, the light, mlok replacement screws and allen key and a user manual. Tested this at home and at a indoor airsoft game recently and overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. I found it has a wide beam of clear white light without being overpowering and washing out your target. I do wish it was a little more far reaching, in the smoky conditions we had it didn't go as far as i expected but that could be the conditions we had inside the field. In my house it light up everything , whole room easily and with no trouble at all. Construction is well done and came together very well on my rifle. I used simple hair ties to contain the wire so it doesn't snag on anything.The little wheel for clipping it to a picatinny rail was a little hard to turn but that only means it wont come off easily once mounted. I wish they had made the light base itself also molk compatible for a closer mount to the rifle.The push pad slips on picatinny rail for easy positioning to each user preference or via either MLOK (via the provided MLOK clips and allen key) or picatinny rail as well. The press pad need a firm push to be activated, this prevent accidentally engaging the light, but in a stress situation can lead to delay if you are not positioned properly, especially if using thick gloves.Overall, 4 out of 5. I recommend this product.

Amazing quality for less than half the price of some other big brands!!!
The Feyachi WL25 is way cheaper than some other rifle mounted flashlight but believe it or not, the QUALITY is there, and for less than half the price!Packaging: the flash light kit come in a relatively simple black cardboard box with a picture of the flashlight, the brand logo and product number and some information concerning the flashlight. It is not the best packaging I’ve seen but they certainly put some effort into it and it show. The feeling I had was that if they put some effort into the box, they probably also did with the product. Inside the box everything is well protected into cut black foam so everything will be in perfect condition when you’ll receive it. The box contain : flashlight, USB charging cable and battery charger, dual button pressure switch, two 18650 lithium batteries, user manual, a Velcro strap, Allen key, screws and T nuts (for M-Lok system)Charger and batteries: the charger power input is a female USB C plug which is actually great because everything tend to use this USB format. So, everyone probably have a USB C cable at home already meaning you can use the same charger you use for your phone or your tablet to plug the charger. A USB to USB C cable about 18 inches long is also included just in case but not the wall USB adapter. I was at first a bit disappointed to see that the charger can only charge one battery at the time but then I realize that the WL25 also need only one battery at the time so it doesn’t really matter. The battery came at about 50% of the charge and it took about 1h30 each to fully charge them. The charger has a red/blue light telling you the charging status of the battery. Batteries are type 18650 3.7v 2600mAh. They don’t have a brand one them but they are nice looking one and heavier than some other cheap 18650 I have so that a good sign of quality. I do believe that those are truly 2600mAh batteries.Flashlight: the flash light itself look pretty decent quality. It made of machined aluminum, 5-3/8in long and weight 190g (6lbs 6oz) with the battery. It feels solid just holding it. The 20mm picatinny rail attachment is machine with the center part of the light which is good for saving some grams but kinda annoying if you plan to use this light as a normal flash light held by your hand. The picatinny tightening nut is round but textured and big enough for you to tight it by hands. There are 3 modes: high/strobe, high, high/low. To switch between modes, you need to press 10 times quickly on the button and then keep the 10th for 2 seconds until light turn off (meaning you just switch to the mode). At first it is very hard to switch mode because I wasn’t fast enough or because I didn’t release completely the button before releasing but every mode is working fine.Modes: The high mode is activated by pressing and holding the momentary button or by pressing the latching button. The other option is activated by quickly pressing and releasing the button and then pressing it back and holding. The high option is actually really super strong. There is a concentrated beam of light in the middle and a ring of flood light all around the middle which gives you a wide field of view and a long range. The strobe mode is basically the high mode but flashing. It is so strong that having it in your eye even without looking directly at the light make it very hard for you to see anything else than the light itself. The low mode is good enough for seeing where you walk in the wood or in case of electricity failure at home. I’ve test the battery longevity in low mode and at the time I’m writing this, the flashlight stayed on for 4 hours without going down too much.Pressure switch: The pressure switches come with the picatinny attachment on but you can swap it for the T nut and M-Lok system. The cable is about 12 inch long. There is two button on it: a ¾’’ wide one for momentary on and a round one about 3/8in of diameter for latching on. The momentary one is a bit hard to press and it might be hard to hold on for a long period of time.Overall, this flashlight has a very good potential. It is strong and robust. The light is very powerful and the strobe will blind anybody that looking to the light and the low mode can easily be use as a home flash light in case of an emergency and will last for hours. It came with two decent batteries and a charger plus M-Lok t nuts and screws and a Velcro strap. So far I am VERY impressed with quality of this product and I would certainly recommend it to anybody.

Not as nice as you expect it to be.
strong bright flashlight.terrible pressure switch.The momentary switch is too tough to press and hold consistently unlock their other pressure switch. Forcing you to use the button for consistency.It snaps onto the rail which is an interesting design I like for quick mount and dismount.

Great value for the price
I was sent this flashlight to test it out.I compared it to my Zenitco Klesh-1 500 lumens(170usd) and InForce WMLx 800 lumens(130usd)The beam is strong and bright with a halo near the borders.The tailcap button is crisp and the remote seems fine, not my favorite type of buttons.Sadly the thread pitch on the tailcap isn't compatible with Streamlight or Surefire caps but the WL25 features a Standard Scout m300/600 mount which means you can use a ton of mounting options.Overall for the price it seems to easily compete with higher priced lights.A great buy for someone looking for a bright light on a budget.

Great light, however, received defective unit
Great light, however, when received, unit had multiple scratch marks and defects. aside from that, it worked ok for the first month. currently experiencing a weird battery problem where one of my batteries works perfectly fine, while the other battery makes the flashlight operate in "strobe" only mode (great if i wanted a strobe only function, however, personally, i need something i can rely on during the night as i will be outdoors).Great lights for pretty cheap, will definitely be buying another one as a backup, however, do keep in mind that if you received a defective unit, i'd advise to have it sent back and be issued a new light.Also, IT'S FREAKING BRIGHT! i've had other airsofters try to flash their lights back at me but COULD NOT COMPETE against my brightness levels.
