I thought the same, Garry, I see it as a 26650/18650 light really and the 4xAAA is a bit of a novelty. Unless the driver in it is good then it may need a driver mod to an 8x7135 at that point the 4xAAA (6V) option would be lost anyway.
Hmm…it reminds me of a cross between an HD-2010 and a UF-980L. I see lots of potential and am looking forward to your impressions once received. Looks pretty cool, man, and at a great price.
So we’re up to 1800 advertised lumens from a single XM-L now, eh? Wonder who’ll be the first to advertise a 2500-lumen single XM-L flashlight?
Reminds me of the computer speaker arms race that happened about 12-15 years ago. Before the FTC cracked-down, it wasn’t uncommon to find companies slapping 1000W or even 1200W ratings on their tiny palm-sized computer speakers (even though they were powered by little 5W wall warts).
