Just some pics for now as I don’t have any 18650s yet to make beamshots. ;_;
Light came really quickly via CN post, arrived in seven days!
For ~5 GBP shipped I was really not expecting much. It has a glass lens (with a tiny scratch!) sealed by silicone ring spacer, two o-rings on body tube, anodized threads, even a lanyard. It was a little dirty inside the reflector part; spotless now after some window cleaner and a spray with compressed air.
Next to a Sipik SK-68 clone for idea of size:
Glass lens needs cleaning, reflector assembly is little dirty inside:
Anodized threads, two o-rings on body, some silicone oil already present:
Tailcap has no spring:
Boot isn’t the best, not as thick as on my Convoy S5, and too much space between boot and switch makes it feel squishy:
Clearly mine was manufactured by the Tet:
Enough room for stacking regulators:
Go go auto-white balance >.<:
Clean lens etc.:
I love this reflector, really fascinating.
You can see the LED gazing at itself like Narcissus (yay, manual focus!):
One issue, there is a small gap between the white spacer and lens, so I doubt it is waterproof. There is a larger spring that pushes against the reflector assembly but it is not enough to close the gap.
