Be very careful when trying to open it up, damaged the HALIII ?? anodizing while breaking two straps, the strapping was the only thing that touched the light, the bad news is it is still stuck, they hired King Kong to put this one together :rage:
Yeah, they can be pretty tough to get open - I struggled with another one this evening, fortunately it came out un-scathed!
My replacement light meter arrived a few days ago (Dr. Meter LX1330B), so I took a couple of quick readings after an emitter swap to a 5700k XHP35 HI D4 bin.
Taken from 20 meters, the new meter reads more in-line with what I expected; 2198 meters throw, as opposed to the old meter, which was reading low, @ 1841 meters.
I have actually carried the light on trails on a sling, but noticed it would have been more comfortable if it was longer, so as to rest it on the shoulder while aiming the light.
I guess I can always make an extension just for support. Thanks.
Anyone think about changing the color of the switch LEDs? I think one of mine isn’t working properly and would like to fix it but while i’m in there maybe I could change the color?
I am waiting for a single carrier “shorty” tube. I carry the GT right at the switch area so balance is not a problem. A little less weight and smaller overall size would be nice in my opinion.
