I didn’t buy this light, (sort of gift), and sort of don’t hate it anymore : The foursevens MMU X3R Firstly, I was in AWE to get such a pricey gift!! :partying_face: A foursevens Maelstrome? :heart_eyes: Eventually, after using the light, my cloud 9 started sinking. :weary: The UI (with a too high, lowest mode,) and forward clickie, aggravated the HECK out of me and the, cool white, domed LEDs produced a medium floody beam that really didn’t seem all that bright compared to my two other highish powered lights. (current draw for the MMU wasn’t spectacular.) Additionally, I DISLIKED being forced to use a proprietary cell while I have three other 26650s and no other 26650 powered light! :person_facepalming: Firstly, I dedomed the LEDs (breaking one bond wire of one LED —> GRRR! ) and that vastly improved the beam. After some time, I decided to dismantle the blasted foursevens cell and eventually tore apart the bloody circuit and swapped in a 17mm FET+1 driver!!! :laughing: Hehhehe. After ratching in a reverse clicky in the tailcap, the light is now among my most favorite lights!
My 75mm aspheric head UniqueFire 1508. Nice light, with a lot of potential, but the head must be almost completely unthreaded to get the beam to focus. And it’s not a zoomie, so out of focus isn’t a very useful beam.
I forget the model off the top of my head…but that single AAA Astrolux…I have the copper one. I don’t like how short the threaded section is and don’t like the UI.
I’ll probably give it away to someone at some point.
I didn’t buy this one, it was actually a giveaway, but adding it here:
My Nitecore EC4. It’s a well built light, and I like the configuration and features, but the parasitic drain is horrible. I’ve lost two sets of cells that this light drained down to 0V in a surprisingly short amount of time.
