Pros: ★★★★★

Smooth reflector large and deep

heavy thick head
The best forward clicky switch i have ever seen. feels good to click this thing

nothing too significant for the price paid
the threads do look somwhat done in an old machine or by an newbie machinist ,the rest of the body is very high quality
the threads look like they were done in a hurry

Light Output: ★★★★★
This flashlight is a great thrower!!! i think this thing most likely throw around 450-500 meters will post long distence beamshots within the next few days !!!

Tail cap Reading: ★★★★

2 x 18650 sony 2 amps on high (tail cap reading)
2 x 18650 panasonics 2.8 amps (tail cap reading) 0:)

Il add more soon…

Is it 2 amp draw from 2 batteries, isn’t that 4 amps to the emitter?

tail cap readings

Thanks a lot! Sticky’d.

Oh my, 2.8a at the tail cap - using the usual rule of thumb, 5.6a to the driver? No wonder the thing throws like a 15 year old with a bottle of mad dog 20/20!

Great review, thanks for sharing.

Were the batteries filly charged? The lower the voltage goes the higher the amps will be to compensate, thus resulting in a higher tailcap reading. Make sure the batteries are at 4.2 volts.

Looking forward to beamshots :slight_smile:
