Got the light. Was hoping the housing around the reflector would be aluminum. That combined with the heat sink section might have been adequate to convert to a fairly serious thrower. Unfortunately, only the heat sink section is aluminum. Furthermore, the reflector diameter is no where near 120mm. The inside of the reflector is about 85mm. Out side diameter of the head would be about 120mm if one drew an imaginary circle connecting three outer anti-roll tabs (which seem completely unnecessary for this pistol shaped light. So no throw monster potential here.
That being said, I like it's form factor and light weight. It's very throwy hand held that has a sturdy multipurpose tripod attachment. The light has great ergonomics too. The switch is easy to find and operate in the dark. The host feels quite durable. Would be great for elderly folks that limited strength or range of motion. Has a large very defined hot spot that makes it more useful for seeing far down range. Spill diameter is fairly small and a bit on the dim side. Maybe due to the conical shaped plastic lens. The low mode makes it adequately usable for close range, but not ideal. Tint is pure white. No hint of blue, green, yellow, etc. UI is High, Low, Strobe, Off. Has built-in USB mini port for charging and USB port for output as a power bank. The tripod is strong and stable enough to use as a third hand when changing a flat tire and such. Seems like a good light to keep handy in the car or on top of the fridge.
The reflector is the only real heat sink as the light is constructed. It doesn't make contact with the shallow-finned aluminum section.
Both 18650's have unmarked blue wraps. Didn't feel like breaking down the power pack to see the bare cans. Best guess would be generic Chinese cells. The pack has some type of protection circuit under the big blue wrapper. I would like to determine the parasitic drain and lvp of the existing circuitry because I would like to just keep using the light as is.
So what you’re saying is —People buying one at a time on different accounts makes the deal go away faster than people buying (8) — Go figure—must be the New Math
Easy peasy, waiting on shipment & delivery.

I checked the phone… that was hilarious!! I like “your weatherman”… :+1: .
That would be great to post on BLF. About 99.999% would find it funny like we do. But that 0.001% would throw cold water on the fun & ruin it with a report.
Yes. They release about 5 codes a day. They limit the amount of codes not the amount of flashlights. Even if codes run out you can still buy the FL at full price. Is not the new math.
