any PWM on the various modes with this light?
Hello and welcome to BLF, joeber! You picked up a really nice light/charger there.
It's good to have you here, jeober!
That's a very nice light. Price seems reasonable too. for what you get.
No detectable PWM on any mode 
Hey Pok, if you get a chance, after you recharge your batteries inside the flashlight, can you do a voltage check on them. I'm curious to see if there is any variation between your light and mine. Charging 3 batteries, it always tops them off to 4.19v.
Mine is 4.19V too.
Thank you Pok. That's great there's a level of quality control with regard to the internals. I'd like to know what else Hanks manufacturer builds.
nice beamshots. when I buy this light I'll probably order a good diffusing lens. I like a floodier beam for camping and it'd be a shame to lose output in such a great light.
Thanks Dthrckt, if you find anything good, maybe you could post a beam shot.
Lens used here is 41.8mm by 1.85mm.
Considered a UCL lens from Flashlightlens.com but went budget and ordered a 42mm AR coated lens from intl-outdoor - $3 shipped. Maybe insignificant but fun to do anyway. Lens is very easy to access.
I saw the UCL at the other place the other day. First time I've gone there and they actually sold one in the correct diameter I could use. I wasn't sure if the extra thickness would allow the bezel to screw down all the way, but I ordered it anyway. I really don't know how much difference it'll make, but 99% transmittance sounds good to me. I'll take a beam shot before and after and see if I can tell the difference.
The 41.8mm x 1.90mm UCL from Flashlightlens.com is a perfect fit for this light. In spite of being slightly thicker, the bezel still screwed down completely. My eyes couldn't tell any difference from the non-AR coated stock lens, but I'm glad to have it installed anyway.
I really want one of these, but I don't think I can deal with the branding on that one side.
It looks really ugly...
I have to agree with you 100% on that. It was the first thing I noticed when I unwrapped it and the only thing about this light that had me skaking my head in a negative way. I haven't experimented on it yet to see if it can be removed, but one way or another, it's coming off or will at least be hidden some how.
Would you mind keeping me updated on that, anyway at all to sort that and I'll be buying one.
I also bought this wonderful flashlight. Mine is pretty "ringy" in the beam, but I can live with that. The coolest thing is the ability to charge my iPhone and iPad wherever I am. Works really well for this.
I am doing a runtime test on low. So far it has run 24 hours and down to 80% batteries according to the lights on the end.
I really love this light!
@Watkins, I sure will. I tried rubbing alcohol and it didn't do a thing. I may have to resort to adding some grip tape I used on my DRY flashlight. But I'll let you know.
Hi Shank2001, There are no rings on mine at all. If possible, see if you can post a white wall photo of the ringy pattern. I'm also curious which batteries you installed in yours. Until I come up with some money to purchase a set of Redilast 3100's, I'm using some Redilast 2600's. I'm sure once I get the higher capacity cells in there, it'll easily fully charge my wife's Ipad2 no problem.
BTW...the 8*7135 2.8a driver in this light really puts out a good amount of light with a wonderful tight hot spot.
I am running AW2900s in mine. I don't have a place to host photos currently, otherwise I would post pics.
Okay, no problem. I usually use Photobucket.com for all my photos. Here is a quick photo I took of mine on high mode pointed at a white wall after I installed the UCL from flashlightlens.com
