Thanks freeme, i only wanted to know whether i have a chance that the light arrive until friday this week, because im in vacation starting from sunday and i would love to take it with me. But i dont think that will work
Received mine yesterday when I got home from work.
First impressions.
Nice packaging with a lovely hand written card, nice touch. It’s smaller and more compact than I’d imagined which is nice. Also, and what I was hoping for, the bezels on each head aren’t glued. The tail cap is however.
Now the not so good. It didn’t work straight out the box. It wouldn’t turn on, then after several clicks it came to life, but was flickering like mad! Took the battery out and gave all the contacts I could see a wipe. After this it worked mostly as it should. I’ll give the whole light a thorough clean with alcohol over the weekend and hopefully this cures it. Second, the threads for where you change the heads are very sharp, especially at the beginning. It’s already damaged two of the o-rings. It came with two spare o-rings, but I’m going to try and smooth out the threads before I install the new ones. Lastly, I asked for both of the white heads to be neutral white. By no stretch of the imagination are they neutral white. I was hoping for 4000k, or 5000k at a push, but these have got to be at least 6000k. It made my FW21 Pro look warm last night! A quick check of the Niwalker site states that the cool white option is XPL HD, and the neutral white is XPL HI. Well my triple and singe are both XPL HI, so I don’t know what’s going on. Freeme, could you confirm what CCT the neutral whites are supposed to be please?
