For me this is an exciting light. I will use it during the daylight to light up deeply shadowed places from 10 - 75’ away. I tried the D1s but it wasn’t quite enough. The GT is too wide to be able to carry around. I’m hoping this will do the job. The only thing left is the LEP W30 and that’s expensive.
A 3” beam on target is plenty for me. I will turn it on for maybe 20 - 40 seconds, off for minutes and then back on again. I will probably be using the top 1/3rd of the range and turbo all the time.
So which might be better for me the W1 or 2? Is the HX available yet? Given my usage what batteries are best for me?
Thanks!
If I use it at night I’m thinking I’ll put on a diffuser with most of the middle cut out. I’ll have a little spill to walk by and most of the power far down range.
W2 of course. I highly doubt anyone can distinguish a difference between 550 vs 650kcd, but 900 to 1400 lumens is a big jump. And it’s not just the intensity but the usable hotspot size.
It now says color is dark brown in Intl-Outdoor site. I think said dark gray before. Was color of anodize changed actually or is that just more accurate to say brown? Have not seen many but some people call dark gray more like black.
Any opportunity to have a warm LED in switch or dark rubber switch? It is too bright IMO.
And a 26650 tube? I own no 21700 but many 26650. Could use 18650 I guess
