Yeah, I would LOVE to hold one in my hand, and play with it in the darkest place I can find… for about 15 minutes… then it would be useless to me. I can’t justify paying over $100 for that! But, I’m glad it was made and we get to see it in action.
Thanks for the beamshots, VOB!
I especially liked your presentation for visualizing the size comparison with other popular lights, made me laugh (or should I say, giggle).
I don’t like about the ramping feature, I prefer it to have the normal mode spacing and I could just tap on the switch and change among the 3 or 4 pre-set modes instead. That said I will probably just use this light on Turbo mode all the time lol.
Thanks bibihang. I am glad to see you still active in this BLF community.
Ya, i got into another hobby that occupy most of my time.
Now I found that some of my batteries are not good anymore.
My D size NIMH Ternergy rusted and trustfire 26650 and A123 can’t hold juice, and most painful some glass lens of flashlights are not as clear as before.
So I have to go through some clearing work to throw away batteries and cleaning flashlights and buying batteries. I found that gearbest is like old time fasttech.
Glad that by luck i can join this groupbuy of great thrower developed by BLF members.
I’m in the middle of a similar purge. My a123 18650’s and 26650’s from the mid 2000’s are just now finally starting to go. Amazing how many years and cycles they lasted though. I’m also tossing a terrible quality (knockoff?) purple IMR that cant make more than 4 or 5 amps and never did in addition to any other sicklings.
To resupply, I just impulse purchased 12 new cells, half LG HE4’s and half Sony VTC4’s when the “junction” vendor sent me a decent coupon. I’ve been abusing some LG HE2’s and Panasonic NCR18650’s recently and have no complaints. All are in the “budget” price range under $6 per cell.
