Looking good, especially sizewise :sunglasses:
I do hope the button is recessed enough to help with accidental activation. Eagerly awaiting your review!

Looking forward to your review.

Yes. And pretty tough. Harder than Zebra mk4

Nice colour :+1:

Patiently waiting :innocent:

OK all you impatient folks, my full review is done and posted, with a few excerpts in the main post. Go give it a read!

:slight_smile: reading now:slight_smile:

Glad to hear it!

Glad to see your review, bmengineer. I’ll give this a shot, and my short review post when I follow up will be based on direct comparison to ZL SC62W.
Okay, now for the real question:
Any places to buy besides YLP’s website currently? Also, any coupons?
edit: I swear I can read. The end of bmengineer’s review features a code (I won’t post it here, so he can get some click-through) and mentions that YLP’s site is currently the only place to get it.
So, when/if it becomes available elsewhere, that will be good info to know.

There’s a coupon code in the review, “uni1”. Brings it down to a very competitive $30. I’m not aware of any other stores at this time.

Hodor! Great review :+1: I liked this light the moment I saw it and I’m relieved to hear it’s not a lemon. I especially like the little lens flare / rainbow effect on the tailcap shot :star:

I would guess the body tube is either glued or one piece? Reason being I imagine the funky aggressive knurling design would always need to be in the same place in relation to the switch and pocket clip (in the “standard” position) otherwise it’d be even more of a pocket shredder.

Quick question, I could probably rtfm but… Is there a soft lockout?

Also, I’ve been tempted to get the 2M CRI as well as this. It’s a shame we can’t use the blf discount and the unicorn discount at the same time to place one order and therefore save a bit on shipping. Unless I’m missing a trick?

Thanks friend. The head is almost certainly glued to the body, but yeah the design is lined up nicely. I didn’t see any mention of a soft lockout, but I really didn’t see a need to go looking for one either. I wouldn’t be surprised either way, but the switch design really means it’s not needed. If you message them there may be some way to get a code that works for both but I don’t know.

You beat me to the edit!

What are the optic dimensions? Is the led easily swappable? Is anything glued?

No clue, I didn’t open up the head yet. The body is glued to the head.

Can you describe the UI a bit more. It was unclear to me.

There are 4 UIs. The first is the standard Olight/Thrunite/Acebeam UI. Perfect for me.
There are two with ramping, and a 4th with more options. Is there anything specific you’re wondering about the UI? I’m not sure how else I can describe it better than the manual already does.
