I love pictures .

Guys, I suggest to refrain from commenting the pictures and focus on the flashlight itself. Thanks ;)
1680x1050, 22" here :P That EOS, with great lighting... makes miracles :P
Ho ho ho, Santa knows it all :santa:
Excellent review, coolperl.
Yes, I've a suggestion for all makers of longer, heavier flashlights: please stop following each other's lead with tailcap clickies! Sideswitch, preferably double sideswitch, one to turn on, the other to cycle through modes. No doubt way too late for this torch (and I'm probably in a minority anyhow) but tailswitch more or less forces two handed operation and awkward handling; why?? Is sideswitch activation so much dearer to build? Or is it just that nobody else wants this?
That said, if tailswitch is what they're offering, then a choice of switches seems like a good idea, although better if customers could decide which they want and pay only for that choice. E.g. I would only be interested in a torch like this if it came with a multi-mode tailstanding reverse clicky. Others might prefer single mode forward clicky, some would want both. Choice of bezel would also help them shift more units. E.g. I like the modest crenellations very much, but I'd greatly prefer black. SS is just too 'blingy' for me; draws too much attention. It's a working tool, not a piece of jewellery.
I don't understand the mode sequence they describe, but it sounds like they're trying to be innovative. My suggestion - since they ask - is don't. It may be be that they have a brilliant concept here, and I'm just being thick, but for my money you can't beat tried and trusted. Multi-mode, reverse clicky. Straightforward and simple. If it MUST come on in high mode by default (I hate this, low mode first would always be my preference) then mode memory is essential.
Finally, the torch should provide the facility to disable strobe and SOS for those who are sure they will never want these modes. Or just provide a version without blinkies straight out the box.
Just my 2p's worth, thanks for asking 
Nice reviews + pictures!
Wow! I'm impressed. I really love that light. Nice and classy just like the Catapult V3. The one thing I will mention if I can about lights with the stainless steel bezel is that is what causes the outer ring. My Catapult V3 has it and you really only notice it up close. But take the stainless steel bezel off and the outer ring is gone. It's the reflection off the led from the stainless steel bezel. The Sunwayman T40CS is the same way. Remove it and the ring is gone.
Now that's what I call a flashlight review!
Straightforward, thorough, technically accurate, lots of personal observations and spectacular pictures. Just when I start thinking I'm all that, I read a review like this . . .
Bravo, coolperl.

Nice review and decent design.
WOW! Thanks Tom for your time and work. I am really impressed
I look forward to your another testing review of NWK220
Lensman... I see your point with reverse clicky with modes. However, a "momentary-on" feature is one of the crucial things in tactical/miliatry lights. That's why almost every quality flashlight in this segment (Balder BD-4 is the only exception I can think of) has forward clicky.
As for the sideswitch design, I agree. This is good idea. But the reason it's so uncommon nowadays is probably a bit more complicated design. A tailcap switch is more simple in construction and allows for overhand grip which is more useful in self-defense (or similiar) situations.
We need a price if you got one.
i prefer Catapult V3.. :D
Awesome review and great pics.
Is there any word on a price approx?
Excellent review and photos. Looks like a solid light and this review makes me want one immediately. To chime in on the mode/tail switch issue. The solution with this light is exactly the same as that of the Solarforce M8 I believe, and it's the one thing I'm not too crazy about on that light. I don't like the idea of having to carry an extra switch and I don't really care for the modes as the manufacturer has selected them. Same as with the reviewer (Foy) on the M8, I would want a Medium setting in the multi-mode and I would not want the Strobe at all. Of all my lights, I think the most elegant solution to multiple modes is on my Balder BD-2. Standard is 3 mode H-M-L. When the light is switched to Low, after 5 seconds it blinks once. User can then turn it off and the light switches to 5 mode with strobe and SOS. Best of both worlds. Alternative you refer to with the head twist for tactical is also a great solution, and I agree it is preferable to the two cap option presented here.
Very nice review. Thank you for taking the time to do all of this. The one thing that hit me right in the face, was the difference in tint between the Catapault and the Niwalker. The tint on the Niwalker looks like a cool white. The tint on the Catapault looks a little warmer or even neutral, thus being more suitable to my eye. But the Niwalker does look like a good heavy-duty light. I would like to see a few more light options as well.
I'd like to see this light directly compared to the Solarforce M8. From what I can tell it appears to be very similar right down to the "A.I." type switch. I'm wondering what features/quality differences push it into the "well over 100$" price range vs. the M8's $70 price tag?
Very nice review BTW.

Thanks for the comments here. I am not sure if I am able to discuss our products here, might be agaist the rules? but we`re following for sure.
I think this forum is much more open. Feel free to enlighten us! 
Solarforce lists the M8 at 277g so, this light at 380g is heavier . . . also, the M8 is 245mm with 2 x 18650 and this one is 263mm. No doubt the SS bezel adds a little weight - I actually like a little heft in a light like this.
I think I was getting just 1.57 amps with 2 unprotected Panasonic 2350s and 2.40 amps with 1 protected Solarforce 2400. My guess is, this guy is brighter.
