980L 2nd batch??? Differences from Foy review

Well I finally got my MF 980L in today. It was delayed for a bit (ordered around 6/12, shipped 6/24ish?) due to a new batch coming from UF, said the MF live chat rep. So I waited.

It come packaged well, but as I read through Foy's review I see my light does not come with a GITD tail switch, just black, which is kinda cool in my book. It sure is a sexy looking light, one of my favorites for sure!

Now for the questionable part. Keep in mind I have an auto parts store special DMM, and it seems as though I do not always get similar current draw numbers as everyone else, I do not have any reason it would be THIS off. I am topping off some batts now to try again, but this is what I have so far.

Flame registered 2.72A @ 4.10V.

A palight 3000 mah showed 2.92A @ 4.05V

IN POST EDIT : I seem to have some type of gross measurment error. Wall shot comparisons show this thing to be a BEAST. The spot is noticably more intense than the F15 I just received, NF-T60, and it is very similar to the Skyray 3800, which impressed me. How do I TEST my current/voltage TESTER? lol

I got one of the first ones out and it had a black tail cap, I switched mine to a green GITD and then Foy did also when he got his. The way I got the 4.5 amp reading is with a freshly charged unprotected battery.

You can test your DMM by measuring voltage on a known driver like a NANJG 105 or an AK47. There is no way to determine how many amps a direct drive light will draw on high there are to many variables.
