main reason I got the step down..wife and friends..they grab it to use it and don't understand it's intricacies..rather have it step down and be safe..
Yea.... If I don't get ahold of ric in time to change to Version A then its no biggy... I'll be super happy with either one, I'll just have to keep my friends/family away from my DRY :P
Now that I think about it, kinda wish I had choosen version B. Oh well . . . I'll just have fun with non-flashaholics by telling them that it is so powerful, the light would self destruct (rapid gaseous expansion event with flame, i.e.,explosion) in 25 seconds and the 5 second safety margin was all that could be negotiated with undercover Chinese military export operatives.
These same operatives secretly control all US bond purchases and the CIA suspects they also influence Chinese currency manipulation . . . . the US goverment thinks they use an algorithm originally sourced from a BLF member with multiple personalities. (Boaz) The formula uses an extrapolation calculator based on user preferences for unlimited amps drawn/high drain custom drivers, "innocently" installed (E1320, Match, Tido) in high performance flashlights. Illegal Paypal tranfers have been traced to flashlight double agents, assuming civilian identities from around the world (2100, CoolPerl, FLashlight Foy, old4570) that then post "reviews" of these lights with coded messages woven into the dialog. These messages are often the only thing that stands between an armed confrontation between our two hemispheres.
Flashlights are more critical to our survival as a species than people imagine.
Oh great, I signed up to this forum just so I could get a flashlight. Just my kinda luck. Now I will have to convince some government type that there are great big bears in the Sacramento Valley that I need this flashlight for. Thanks a lot guys.
Depends on the use, personally for me yes. The light doesn't seem quite as bright (a none issue with 5a to 3 xml's!) but the colour rendering is far better I feel.
I'll be using it mountaineering so colour rendering can be a huge advantage.
