MiG0, I took current readings at the tail with a 12Ga loop and clamp meter. Have no idea why the numbers would disturb you. Must be missing something…
Henk, yeah, I like it. The overall style is nice, build quality is exceptional, numbers from the 2 different (3 different?) cells are very acceptable and the light, used as such a light would be used, just works nicely. The Nichia emitter is a good choice here I think, seems good choices were made in a lot of areas on this one… my opinion of course, as I really like a well made small flashlight.
I know some people just really have to have some negatives to feel good, where I tend to overlook negatives and focus on the positives. So, that said, if one just had to look for cons I suppose one or two could be found. Here’s a couple of little nigglin things… the switch button needs a pretty deep press to turn it on initially. It’s a concentrated effort, not likely to be done accidentally. My ~80 yr old Uncle was here yesterday and he has fat fingers and thumbs, he had issue with it. He loved the light, the weight of it, and thought it’d make a great gift for his wife. (both are very persnickety and want things to be Just So!) He said the light was made solid enough to fire out of a shotgun. I have to agree, but I don’t think it’s overkill here. The CNCQ DNQ Brass Beauty feels like it could be easily crushed, they tried so hard to make it as small as possible. Nice to see a light made for the long haul.
The pocket clip doesn’t grip as strong as some, so it won’t hold the light at the top edge of the pocket for example. And of course it is attached to the tail cap (in a manner of speaking) and comes off when changing cells, where it could have been maybe better if it stayed with the body of the light.
FWIW, the Nitecore MH20GT that just came in yesterday isn’t perfect either, and cost a smooth hundred bucks. (Pocket clip is TOO tight, difficult to remove from the pocket.) But that’s another story…
Nigglin things, hardly worthy to note which is why I didn’t in the first place.
If you look for the bad in life you will find it, if you spend your time looking for good you will likely create it.
