Oh & another thing me likey is the fact that when you twist to off ,you can’t squeeze the head against the body & turn it on like the jet beam mk1 & jetu does, so its less likely to turn on in your pocket.

Mine does.

I just got mine and it looks like a great AAA light even if the tint is a little greenish. Going to take it on vacation this weekend to Hawaii where it’s tiny size will work great since I’ll be in shorts the whole time.

^ Hm, when I’m in shorts, nobody is paying any attention to my SureFire 6PD.

Mine does.

Mine can, but I naturally turn it past that, so it typically doesn’t. Another 1/16th of a turn and it won’t.

I detect no green on mine - just a pure white.

[dragunbayne]

I don’t see any green either, quite yellow actually outside of the hotspot. I actually think I will put some dc-fix on the lens. This seems like a light that would be nice to have a big hotspot.

Yes, it is amazingly white with no tint anywhere.

[Starkm32]

Wish mine had a hint of tint.

—why is green a no-no for flashaholics, I wonder?

With my A01, I always hold the head back while turning off, so that I’ll always turn it past the “bump it on” point.

After playing with it ,(probly broke it in a bit ) I can now ,but yes twist it slightly more & it won’t.

@Starkm32
I ordered from Germany and only payed 4,95€ for shipping.
Does anybody know what led they exactly used? CCT, CRI . . . .Version?

[Nev]

I ain’t got a scooby ,but I would say it’s cool white but on the neutral side of cool.

That’s unlucky , unfortunately we only paid postage & it will cost again to send back even if they accept.

Philips LUXEON TX is all they listed on the original add.

Data sheet here shows:

[quote] 70, 80 and 90CRI minimum and full CCT range available [/quote]

Without contacting Olight, I don't think we know which CRI/CCT they used.

Yes so very true. For $5 I can live with it

[TheOnlyDocc]

I was hoping Maukka or one of the other with the right equipment bought the light and put it on the test bench.
Would be interesting to know what led they used. I would for sure not complain about the 90CRI 5700K version

@Nev

Got mine today , it’s tiny , smaller than the jet beam jetu.
The tint is nice & white.
The included battery is shite.
Now I’m getting spammed a few times a day by olight , time to hit the unsubscribe button me thinks.

Lol, spam is not the word 5 times a day!
I did /was going to post this, then I deleted it.
Now I love flashlights as much as the next flashaholic, but 5 emails a day from 1 brand…… - there was a film ‘how to lose friends and alienate people’ maybe Olight should change tact or their tagline will be ‘how to gain customers and lose them immediately’

[Nev]

That’s the price we’ve payed for a free torch lol
But the unsubscribe button is easy to push , I haven’t done it yet ,I ve just been deleting them as they come.

[dragunbayne]

I don’t think I’m getting hit that bad by them, I was for about 3 days but before and after that I don’t think it was even daily. Now Battery Junction on the other hand hits me at least 1-2 times a day.
