Yep, I gave in as well… My first 2020 gift to myself !
On my last hike I used the FW3A, but the throw was simply too low to see far enough on critical parts at night. I hope this can fill that void. Weight to throw ratio looks promising! Good enough excuse to convince myself I NEED another light
I’ve kept the total to around 20 working lights. I convinced myself I did a fair job in not buying too many shelf queens.
I guess I have a kinda weak month. Think I’ll blame the awesome LT1. I have 5 in the mail at the moment… Still looking for the perfect right angled flashlight. Maybe 2020 is a good moment to stop making excuses
I got mine today and already in process of sending it back for a refund. The button is really inconsistent. Sometimes taking multiple clicks to turn it off or on. Not acceptable to me for how much I paid for this light. I paid too much, I’m actually embarrassed how much I paid for this light at Amazon from Sino Trading Co, Ltd. To make matters worse is I have to pay to ship it back to China then waiting to see if it makes it all the way back to get my refund. Sucks. Not a good experience for me all around. I’ll edit this post tomorrow when I find out how much it cost me to ship it back. I have a feeling this is not going to be good. Man I hate having to return shit.
Yeah the light had issues on the gt mini also, its a really mushy button i wish they use something more sturdy… but if u bought it on amazon why must u return it to china? makes no sense… just send it back to amazon say its faulty should be no problem.
Return to china i would never agree, it costs more then the light u paid for and it takes forever to send stuff back there… dont do it!
Some items on Amazon are not sold by Amazon. This was one of those. I have no choice really as I don’t want the light and I paid $50 for this sucker. I’m still mad at myself for doing that. I’d actually feel better spending another $20 to ship it back for a refund than keeping it for $50. I feel like I got swindled by a used car salesman. Jeez I feel like such a jeep.
Thanks for the video. I prefer the warmer tint myself, but as you mentioned, more intense/focused hotspot is also a plus in my eyes. I went with the Micro. Should be here today from Amazon. Not bad considering I placed the order yesterday ;). I ordered from Lumintop Direct. Only $32 with the 20% off Amazon coupon right now.
So I had ordered the Micro a few weeks back when it was $26 on Amazon. Two weeks later, I cancelled the order, as it hadn’t shipped yet. What kind of store cannot manage to ship a product over a two week period? Oh well, I’m sure I’ll end up buying something from a company that can get the product out the door.
It showed in stock when I ordered it. It even showed in stock after I cancelled the order. I would have tried to order again, but the price wasn’t $26 anymore. Strangely, I had also ordered a pair of sunglasses for color blindness and the same thing happened. Maybe the Amazon gods are angry at me for some reason…
