Thanks for the review! A few questions for you:
is there a lock-out feature, so that it won’t turn on in a pocket?
can you give us just a brief qualitative description of the mode spacing both with a nimh and a 14500?
does it seem to have fairly flat regulation (output remains fairly constant) or does it dim gradually?
how slowly do you have to single-click to change modes, without accidentally engaging the strobe modes?

How much PWM with this one? I would also like to know if it has a lockout mode.
Thanks Matt

sb56637 , as i mentioned on the review it it 0,014mA .
Freedom , it is designed from the factory like that i guess .
peteybaby , No there isn’t lock out mode . It has a fairly good regulation , no visible dimming , until battery is not able to provide the required current of course . Only if you press the switch for a second time exactly after you release the switch it enters strobe .
mattlward , i will measure PWM frequency tonight .

No lockout mode? I thought the light would lockout if the head is half turned?

Yes , this is phusical lockout (if light has anodized threads , as ut01 has).

Thank you for all the info giorgoskok.
Would you know the lumen values for the different modes?
I might get a couple more while the price is good, if the spacing is to my liking.
Thanks

I’ll give you an estimation :
Lowest - 10-25 lm
Low - 70 lm
Medium - 270 lm
High - 775 lm

Just saw your edit.
Since a 50.6mm cell fits & works, I don’t see why a 50.5mm protected XTAR 14500 wouldn’t.
Do you have any XTAR 14500s (or any other 14500 protected of about that size) to check if they fit?

I have the same cell you mentioned (xtar 14500 protected) , and it’s actually longer (50.9mm - 51mm) and it doesn’t work .

Can you just remove the protective pcb to make it fit?
I have several of those in transit to my place.

Battery’s pcb ? Yes (but not really good solution)

How about clip? I have a similar light with a similar clip, and I can not insert easy, is very closed for the flashlight

Thanks for confirm. I any case, great light for 14500 unprotected and awesome for NiMH.
