So... some research on this and other flashlights being export-controlled...

It looks the item is considered "dual-use" and subject to EAR.

This means it cannot be exported to certain denied persons or countries such as Syria.

@bwDraco What is the other use?

"Dual-use" means the product has both civilian and military applications. Such products may be export-controlled under EAR. The more stringent ITAR regulations do not apply here.

Hence, there's not exactly much to worry about unless one were to bring such a light to some hostile nation or entity...

@bwDraco Are they referring to the strobe? Otherwise it is just a standard torch (UK for flashlight).

The torch itself.

@bwDraco No I mean that it has a strobe function.

Not sure about how that relates to export controls...
