Hey Don, looking good. Lucky! Want to trade for a nasty yellow color WK30? ;) But it's good to know we are "Beloved".
This is a pretty nice light, I'm just having a hard time getting over the ugly color and engravings.

Interesting! I like the shape.
I like the light. If I can get a blue or grey one for $20 shipped I'll buy my own. For me, that is the real test of a review light.
Nice rewiew so far!
Nice light. I like the different shape. Maybe the beam is too narrow.
Nice review and nice flashlight. However it would be better if it had a completely round body instead of that "hexagon" shape....
It seems to work for me - there are beamshots now up. Not great ones, but they show the beam clearly enough.
Actually, one of the reasons I like it is the body shape. That one isn't rolling off of anything. I suspect the WK25 is rather similar internally and has a nice round body - i rather like the look of it.
But Don, It is comfortable in your hand?
It is, it is quite a large light for a single AA - I have some pictures of it with other lights to upload when I get back home to a faster (and much less expensive) internet connection.
It is about 2mm longer than the very large Trustfire F22/Yezl S5, though about 1mm less in "diameter". I do not have large hands and find it comfortable to hold.
One curious thing:
I know that, to make a flashlight with normal round shape, you only need a lathe. But... How do they make this rare shaped flashlight in the factory?
I think they must invest many time in mechanizing the body... probably they begin with a round tube.... the start mechanizing and they get this thing?..... I dont know
Aluminium rods are availible in various shapes. They probably made it out of a hexagonal raw material.
Or got hexagonal tubes cast. If you are making enough of them, this might be cheaper.
mmmmm I thought that only were available round aluminum tubes. Never knew about hexagonal shaped alu tubes. Now I understand. Sorry
Thank you Don for the review and the lux/lumens of all the different batteries.
I like it, if things are a little bit special and different to many other products. Most flashlights are round - a hexagon form could be nice.
Nice flashlight in blue (I love blue).
At $40 It's expensive but if it was available for $20 including shipping then it would make a great gift light
I really like the look too.
The hexagonal shape is a warm welcome from the normal shaped flashlights and i really like the blue color. Too bad it’s a bit pricy
I like the hex shape, nice to have something a little different. I reapply like the beam though. I probably wouldn’t have thought about that one before I saw those.
Actually Japan has both 50 Hz (Eastern Japan) and 60 Hz (Western Japan).
I didn't know that. It must complicate their grid managers life considerably.
