Still, it’d just bug me. About as silly as strobe in a 100lm AAA light…
“Oh, wait, Mr Killer. Let me hold this switch a few seconds to activate strobe and carefully aim the pinpoint beam at your eyes before you murder me.”
Or maybe strobe an attacker a half-mile away…
Nope, sorry, with the tight no-spill beam, LEPs are long distance lights only. Even 100’ out, I can’t picture myself lighting up a rat or skunk unless they got a song’n’dance act, otherwise the spot’s just too small. It’s meant for farther distances.
I’d be okay with the 1-mode Acebeam, maybe 2-mode with memory (vs having to constantly flick the mode switch in case you want The Other Mode. But more modes, strobes, sos(!!), etc., are just silly.
And (to me at least) that kind of light must have a forward-clicky for momentary-on. (Which it has, so no complaints there.)
But yeah, absolutely, any mfr can load it up with all kinds of unwanted crap, and no one’s holding a gun to my head to buy it.
I'd be interested if there was a coupon code? Just seems a little steep with the current market of LEP's right now. I'm sure build quality is solid though. But still, there are some nice sub$200 leps right now. Although I know nothing about them, can someone tell me why this is worth the $200 price tag VS a less expensive astrolux, Lumintop top, etc.
also- this LEP looks very similar to GB Freeme is running of a different manufacturer. It too has 1000m and 450 lumen. But it's $120
Thanks for the link.
Well it’s interesting that while they want to sell a LEP flashlight in this form factor at $199, which is far more expensive than many other “branded” LEP flashlights, they do not bother to answer questions in this thread which was created by themselves lol.
Trustfire is not too bad by any mean, they are actually quite okay in budget range but since there are already quite a few LEP flashlight options selling at below $150 nowadays, so Trustfire might want to consider giving some serious discount codes for this light.
Really looks good, but I’d have liked to see less separation between 460 lumens and maybe 200ish lumens. Still, 95 lumens and nearly 500 meters is a good option for less intense viewing.
