I’ve been looking forward to this one. It seems like a very nice host, and the clip really helps make it useful for daily purposes.
Will probably get one or two and see what I can do about customizing the driver, because I enjoy that kind of thing. The default seems pretty decent though, with modes and spacing similar to the venerable L3 L10-219.
I have some 14500 batteries sitting around, doing nothing. Not for long.
Any suggestions on where to get a tritium vial that will fit inside that tailcap slot? How does the tritium vial stay inside the slot if the flashlight is jolted, such as from a fall?
Very nice review, your pictures are a treat, as usual! It looks like Rey has learned all the lessons there were to learn, and again delivers a custom light for a price that is way below custom light prices, but now also with all the details right.
This light is too heavy for me to consider buying, but seems more than worth the money!
For TK, the ReyLight Brass Cutie next to the DQG 18650 Brass Beauty. Cells alongside for comparison.
(Yeah yeah yeah, I used the little Canon S90 instead of the 7DMkII with 100mm Macro Hybrid IS. Lazy, pure and simple.)
The thing here is, the DQG Brass Beauty was made to be as small as possible and fit an 18650. I have but one cell of all my cells that will fit inside this light and it’s really snug at that. The ReyLight Brass Cutie is made more robust, takes ANY AA cell or ANY 14500, lot of options there. Both are brass, yes. One is more refined, serves a grander purpose.
I was just thinking about that as well Rey, I’ve got a green trit sitting here and the Norland to put it in with. And a crazy powerful UV light I made a while back to cure it.
Edit: Not feeling so great but got a quick trit shot anyway. Sorry if it sucks…
Thanks! It looks like it’s about the size I expected, similar to a Thrunite T10. Between the nice aesthetics and the clip, I’ll likely get a lot of use out of mine.
It’s fun trying to avoid perspective distortion on those little cameras, isn’t it? I always have to back away and zoom in as far as I can without making the exposure impossibly-long.
Thanks for excellent review and especially the photos.
Are you sure that your current measurements are correct?
I suppose you measured current drawn from battery.
Comparison between levels 2 and 3 for both types of energy source looks very disturbing to me.
