Hi Tom, sorry it took so long to get back to explain, seems Mr Richard actually has the very same thoughts as I do and summed it fairly well, but still left out some of the other oddities like that UI, for 2 switches and maybe someone can explain the purpose of these two switches when all Maxtoch had to do was use the driver and UI from the single switch D01 with stepless diming or single click with double click strobe so why this goofy dual switches, well perhaps on this light maybe just for the the fun of it I guess, but certainly not serving any good purpose that I can see anyhow,
I guess best way to sum this light up is to just up and say it the way it is, this is flat out the worst, the most pathetic, sorriest Maxtoch light that is currently in my house and that actually makes me feel pretty darn sad for a couple reasons, one being this very well could be the sign of whatās to come or a heads up that this is the end of a really great light most likely and being I am a thrower collector and my most prized lights are my Maxtochs, with that said, this M-12 junk will not be here long and will most likely be up for sale this week, unless I figure out how to use the driver and switch from the recent UTorch UT-02 which is also 30mm same as this over prized piece of aluminum, except I think the cloned U21 Manker I think it is or UTorch anyhow just might actually out throw this Maxtoch, I took it outside with the UTorch, the 2X & M24 Sniper and would say the Utorch and this M12 are fairly close to each other in throw, but the other couple Maxās I took out just stomp the mud out of this M12, and the sniper was straight stock at what 3.4 ampsā¦? I donāt recall but not like the modded lights for sure.
Guess what causes these perfect circles in your beam profile, I do know the answer, but itās really not that funny but what does strike me funny is this is exactly the same issue as when the first designs of this light came out in the Gladiator light, wild guessesā¦??
As Richard says, the M12 is very shinny compared to a real Maxtoch
Cat is wondering what is this new light , sure doesnāt look like a Maxtoch, is it a Thorfire with the shiny sort of ano.?
And then some real lights and all nice and happy and snugged away in the Wise Guy Kit, You say you have throw do yaā¦ Alrighty Thenā¦ Lets get to work,
