Yes, there’s mode memory in place.
As for the spacing, I agree. Visually the modes are OK, but I wouldn’t say no to a more refined mode spacing. For example, I think something like this would work nicely:

UltraLow: 1 lm
Low: 15 lm
Medium: 130 lm
High: 450 lm
Turbo: 900+ lm

Nice review Bilakos10. :+1:

I’m always excited by new AA/14500 offerings and this one looked appealing …but then it occured to me that aside from the OSRAM it might be very similar to another light already in my collection. Although it would be fun to compare the XP-L Hi to the CSLPM1.TG’s performance.

(Sorry, I couldn’t resist some fun with a visual comparison, it’s a Friday.) :wink:

I like this one.

I would complain only (at this time) about the clip. Cannot rid of the thought it's poorly designed.

It should be deep pocket carry and not partial as it is now. By deep carry I mean only one radius and NOT 2way like on FW3A and Olights...

12

Is it unibody?
Could you tell more about how did they connect the positive pole to the driver?

13

It is unibody, and I was hoping Bilakos could take another picture of the driver showing the whole thing. Very curious about the topology myself…

14

Curious minds want to know the price.

15

Yes price and availability please?!

16



It is indeed unibody!
It's plausible that the driver is double sided, with its rear side also housing the brass tab (positive terminal), which goes through the drilled base.
Here's a few close-up pictures of the driver and its back side.

I know I promised that I would be publishing some beamshots this weekend, but unfortunately the area I live in went into lock-down due to Corona, so we're only allowed to stay outside of our homes up until 6.00pm
I think the lock-down restrictions will be raised to 9.00pm from tomorrow onwards, so if that's the case, then I'll definitely be grabbing some outdoor beamshots pretty soon!

A tail magnet would be Practical maybe.

Here's some outdoor beamshots.

Nice beamshots, any idea of the distances?

Thanks

21

This is not simple…the brass tab and its electrical path must pass be insulated from the shelf…and it would be interesting to know how.

22

Since this thread hasn’t seen much activity in the past month figured I would check in. Has anybody heard any release info yet?

23

I’ve just sent an email to my contact at Wuben.
As soon as I hear anything back, I will let you know :smiley:

24

Yeah, the UI definitely needs work. 2click for strobe is pretty hideous.

Moonlight would be nice, if not a must (at least for EDC).

Even if not an “EDC” light, I mostly use my GTmicro in basically only 2 modes, moonlight (reset down to 1 from the default 3/5/whatever) and wide-open. Even low is “too high” when I just want to see the clock across the room, etc.

Backlit switch only if constant, not “breathing”. That’s one dealbreaker for me. F’n creepy…

25

How long can it maintain high mode?
Will it step down by timer or by temperature?
How many lumens will it step down to?

26

Ok, just got a response from Wuben.
The E6 should become available at late April :exclamation:

27

Isn’t this a sale? E6 Small Steel Cannon Strong Flashlight

28

Same name but different spec. 350 / 100 / 10 lumen.

Did they settle for lower output than the pre-production reviewed here?
