Yeah some youtube reviews out there of the recently released HFXC. For the price it's incredibly feature-rich but it's not refined or polished. The white light is marketed at 1k lumens and 80k candela but people have noted it's likely half that in real life testing. The illuminator has lots of imperfections and the IR laser is overpowered with lots of diffraction. Sucks because the illum and IR is slaved together. Currently the HFXC only uses an 18500 battery which most devices nowadays are 18650. I'd wait for the second iteration of this thing is my overall impression. Lots of inexpensive Chinese LAMs out there but none have really stood out yet.

This guy does a good overview of it.
