Received mine today. Ordered Friday with the discount code. First impressions is it is pretty good for the price and features. Battery is pretty loose inside and rattles inside (fixed that). The edges of the fins are pretty sharp. Beside that, I'm waiting for dark to try out the emitters properly.
Wow … mine arrived today with another arriving tomorrow. What a bitchin light. I hope more become available soon as I went back to buy a few more and they are all gone for now.
The specimen I received is flawless with no battery rattle.
Lightbringer … many thanks for enabling me to find my new favorite toy. Very cool indeed.
Fins on mine are crisp as I would not go so far as to say they are sharp. Not sharp enough to cut skin but very aggressive.
A non-issue IMHO.
I just noticed the rattle …. with the battery installed and tapping the base sideways against my hand, I detect a slight rattle in the battery tube. Tube ID is slightly larger than the provided 26650 battery. I will install a shim of some sort if it becomes a nuisance.
LB, Man! You can write a review! It just increased my anticipation for mine to arrive!
I really like that the charge rate is one of the best for the USB rechargeables I've tested, ie.:
The cut-off voltage was 4.15V. It slowly ramped down the charge current before it terminated. I then dropped it in the Opus and added a few more mAh, ie:
This is going to be fun to have... at least until the next whizbang contraption comes out!
The red and white strobe alone makes the purchase worthwhile in my opinion.
Overall, yes this is a very enjoyable and useful light.
I’m happy to own one.
There didn’t seem to be very many available at Amazon, I wonder if this was a test batch, to see how sales would go.
