Thats for sure, I was more thinking about the difference in overall brightness, not between the different tints.
You have to remember that this is definitely an outdoor light and not one for regular indoor use due to the nearly 500 lumen low. Having a light made for lighting up a lot of area at a good distance you just may prefer the U3 over a neutral T6. There will be a noticeable difference in output between the two. I measured a 400 lumen increase over the U2 version with the U3. You should see at least 400 lumens less than the U2 with neutral T6 making a difference of around 800 lumens between the U3 and NW T6. Outdoors that difference should be noticeable but, granted, only if you ever saw them next to each other. As they say, ignorance is bliss but for many here, just knowing they could have had it brighter is enough to cause dissatisfaction.
ah! didnt see that thanks!
That’s a good point, there was 14 left in stock when I posted the link, we’ll see how fast they go as I won’t be ordering before February. Guess I have a month to make my mind up….
So your saying it won’t be much good for checking behind the sofa? :bigsmile:
Excellent review of what appears to be a quality torch.
Thanks for taking the time to make the review, as I know they are very time-consuming to do well.
I thought outdoor light is more suitable to use NW for better penetration, while indoor light is more suitable to use cool white for better brigthness.
Excellent review! Can’t wait to see the outdoor beamshots! Are the led bases 14 or 16mm? What is your take on the tint?
Off topic, What do you use to sharpen your khukuri’s, besides your finger? 
:bigsmile:
I have used the sanding paper over a mouse pad method on my 21” Chitlangi but It has not produced a very sharp blade, I was using 2000 grit automotive sandpaper maybe I should use coarser sandpaper, what do you recommend?
Great review!! Thank you for taking the time to share.
NICE…Is that about 75 yards to that little pair of evergreen trees in the first photo?
thats a good review but at 134$ i dont think its a budget light 
it wouldnt be an even match if u buy 3x sky ray king and put it up against a shadow 
Finally able to check distance on Google Earth. Distance from Terminator to farthest house is 272m.
Yeah ! Keep pumping out those beam shots Johnny.
Your making my trigger finger twitch.
Will you give a link to the site/item and how to ensure that one would get the U3 Version.
All I have seen is the U2 also. Please share. Thanks for this sweet review!
Flow - Your saying you can specify between U2 and U3 when
ordering?
great review, ty!
I contacted BS before about this U3 and was told it won’t be anytime soon as they can’t get hold on enough U3.
U3 is definitely more attractive, but I am afraid BS might raise price for U3.
Thank you for the kind words.
Right now you cannot order the U3 specifically. Originally their plan was to release it this month but supply issues, if Dengoh is correct, will delay things. From what I understand, the U3 will have stainless bolts holding the handle to the body while U2 and Neutral versions have black steel bolts.
