Before people get too excited, remember that it is first and foremost a 21700 right-angle light. If that is what you want, you’ll probably like it. But if you want a more traditional straight flashlight, a fancy interface won’t really help much. It’s kind of a specialized item.
The 219B emitters make a very nice pure-white high-CRI beam. And, though I may be a bit biased, I think it has a nice interface. But I use the ROT66 more because I like inline flashlights more than a right-angle lights.
For me both inline and angled Flashlights have a place due to work and activity requirements……. So hopefully this may replace the Nitecore HC30 I have but that will depend on quite a few things once I have played with one…. Could be it’s as much use as a chocolate teapot
Just wish there was a few specs regarding runtimes and lumens!!
Lumens go from ~0.3 at the low end to … um, direct drive at the high end. It has four emitters and a FET and a 21700 cell, so it should be able to pretty much max out four of whatever emitter it’s using. So, for 219B that’s probably a maximum of 2000-2400 lm. For XP-L HI it probably goes up to ~4500 lm or maybe even higher.
Of course, it won’t stay at that level for long… too much heat.
