A lot of these “complaints” seem to actually be opinions. Mushy bottom, sharp cooling fins, crappy pocket clip, green tint, the anodizing doesn’t match in some lighting situations…. It’s just something to consider. A palm size light putting out over 3000 lumens! Of course its going to freakin get hot! That’s a given……
Exactly! These kinds of specs weren’t even possible just a few years ago, so I can see how maybe some people thought that this light wasn’t based in reality and that the normal laws of physics didn’t apply!
Love your clown intro shot. So, do you like the sst20 or xpl better? Tint vs output? Is there a noticeable difference? I hear the sst20 have better throw. Can you tell on yours?
I have the sst20 4000k and the XPL HI 6500. The XPL HI is noticeable more bright but the colour of the sst20 makes it easier to distinguish stuff and its easy on the eyes too. If I would have to choose one I would go for the sst20 4000k.
CNY is a huge event. People often spend an entire month away from work. At a different time of year, disappearing for 3 weeks would be worrisome, but at the moment it’s normal and expected.
