Here is a link with you tube video of a french guy unboxing the light so you can see the size and how it is packaged:

I had been using an Archon D33 (very big, nice and bright with 3-26550 batteries on bright lasted on hour and a half. 3 Batteries means heavy, long and a pain to charge when traveling. The light is also VERY big and long so again hard to travel and maneuver. Very bright.
Looking for a bright primary that is not a canister (when cave diving this light would be my first secondary light). Wanted something bright but more portable. When not in a a cave I also have a small backup light too,
This Big Blue light is simply amazing. Very small, but very easy to handle. Used one 32650 battery which is much better for size and changing. Under water it is as bright as the Archon D33 in other words both putting our around 2500-3000 lums at highest setting. That's very bright for me. Great for a primary light and this one has 5 settings and l switch lit that changes colors as the battery discharges.
I bought two of them; both come with a charger, both with a 5500mah battery, both with a ballistic nylon soft handle that is very nice. One of mine also came with a very nicely made and machined Goodman handle. Both came with a regular handle if you are so inclined. The batteries are button top with protection circuitry and extras are $50 each. Big Blue says if you use other batteries that will void the warranty.
Underwater the light is fantastic I rarely use the brightest setting but I love the switch. Better than the twisting ends types (i hate those) and much better than the cheap sliding magnetic type many Chinese lights have. The form factor is the best I have used (other than canister which are a separate need and beast for me) and it is wonderfully made. I can't rave enough about the light. If you want a small, indestructible, very bright light with many options for use this is it. My only qualm is the price around the web you can find them for $350. That's pricey but this unit is so well made and perfect for what I was looking for at that price its a bargain. Considering canister are much higher priced for alot less convenience....
Had alot of dealing with the company which is in Florida on my previous Quatto light and they have been very good in their customer support in every way.
