Thanks for the great review. Very interesting light indeed and already added to my wishlist.
Just one question: If you lock out the tailcap to securely prevent the parasitic drain, how big is the risk that the tailcap comes off or closes the circuit accidently when carrying the light in a bag/pocket? Is this something that could be adjusted with a suitable o-ring?
It depends on what you do with the headlight, I use a XM-L C2 as a headlight when skiing. Nice and bright, though I'd rather take my less bright Zebralight when viewing stuff at a closer distance : )
Looking at the pictures at manafont there seems to be only one o-ring on the H2 tube but I think there is a second groove for an additional ring so it should work out fine. Well, I'll see when it arrives. Moved from "wish" to "ordered" ;)
Huny74, I think that there's very little risk of losing the tailcap if you carry it slightly unscrewed. It requires very little turning to break the connection, it still remains almost totally screwed on.
Thanks for the info. I already like the light, mostly because of the UI. It will also be my first light shining sideways. Can't wait till it arrives (well, I'm afraid regarding this I don't have much choice...)
How does this feel on your head using it as a headlight? Do you think you can leave it on for a couple hours or more? I'm curious because I've been thinking about a headlamp for fishing since my buddy bought a boat just recently. Also, I'd like one that is almost all flood with 2 or 3 modes but without strobe or sos. Thanks guys.
