Strange, I cannot duplicate the problem, every battery works fine now. Probably the battery's button got caught with the foam just now. No memory, starts from Low.
I tried to peal off the foam with my tweezers, but I end up tearing a piece out from it . Foam is weak and double side tape/ glue is strong. It did expose some components underneath the foam. I have no choice but to seal it back, cannot afford to damage it before I finish up the review.

Thanks sofar for the review! Do you have a picture of the driver, and how the led is mounted? Is there a removable pill? (I ask for obvious reasons).

I know from disassembling a DQG AAA light that it is easy to damage the stuff inside. I just hope that this light is a bit easier to open up and swap the emitter. No hurry for this, and I would not want you to destroy a nice light :-)
14500 does produce slightly higher output than NiMH, based on my initial measurements. XP-G R5 was 725mA on high which is more than 250lm. Yes, I like it a lot and I have been playing with it for the past 2 days. I do own a couple of ultra-compact class flashlights, but none of them is able to hold up to my expectations until now. It is definitely my first choice for EDC light right now. But please do not take my words for it, as choosing flashlight can be a personal thing.
Trevi_lux, very nice collection! I plan to run only Imedion AA and maybe a L91 at times. Judging from your collection, the fact that you like it is high praise indeed . I really like SS lights. Looking forward to this lights arrival.
