Tell us more about these „defected bodies“, please. I just bought a Meteor M43 with XP-L Hi and I did not find any defects on the knurling/body so far. I only found out that the new body has only one hole for a lanyard whereas former versions had two holes.
Today I received a flashlight M43 and …
I am very disappointed with the product. I counted on top quality and got a flashlight that is not centrally set. The torch I got, has diodes not symmetrically in relation to the switch and it irritates me very much.
Pairs of photo have differences in White Balance for compare only light distribution and wide of spot. Left column - Nichia wich WB=5000K, Right column - Samsung with WB=4150K

Same photo as before, but all in one White Balance = 5000K, for real color of light comparation:
I understand but still the LH351D can be driven much harder than either of those LEDs and considering they are under a TIR and not a reflector I suspect the Samsung would equal the Nichia lux at some point even with it being more wide of a beam.
Those are very professional comparison shots. Very helpful! I always thought the LH351D driven the same would be brighter than the 219C. Do you have a way to test the lumens?
