I ordered one recently and have been using it for about a month. I really like this light and wished I bought one sooner. It’s a bit too long for pocket carry, but it has a permanent place in my laptop bag. I just ordered some Efest 18350 V1 IMR 800mAh batteries and if they last a decent amount of time, I may permanently use the shorter tube and leave the NCR18650GA batteries for my other lights.
I like the seven modes and can quickly and easily get to a usable level for any task. The beam is great. Large hotspot and floody beam are just what I like. Neutral white looks very good too.
I agree about the clip being not so great. I’ve got to take the tips to my grinder as they stick out way too far. I’ve got an inexpensive sheath for it from BangGood so it’s not an issue most of the time. I keep the clip on in case I need to quickly clip it to a pocket, but it lives in the sheath most of the time.
I doubt I’ll mod it in any way other than the clip. It’s bright enough for me. It’s floody but throws as far as I’d want it to for my aging eyes. I’m glad that I got it over a Convoy S2. I wasn’t sure which model S2 to get, but don’t have to compromise because I can get this one as bright as the most powerful S2+ but still have a wide variety of steps to suit any situation I’m likely to be in.
Guys for a week ive been watching a lot of youtube video of the Olight s1r turboS wish I bought tonight, I also have this astrolux s1 3D and im asking wish one is better , off course by specs the astrolux should beat the olight but dont know why I had to buy the Olight anyway !
Hi, just recently received mine and the emitter and the driver looks exactly like yours. I was under the assumption that a XP-L HI doesn’t have such a domed led? Compare with my C8 clear an the LED is larger and more flat on the C8 compared to the S1?
