At twice the price or more, the ZL should be fully thermally regulated.
the 3D picture make me dizzy :~
Thanks FlashLion for another nice review. Fantastic pictures as usual.
Glad you like it. It’s a complete bargain at that price, I think.
Sorry :bigsmile:
Nice review! I just had to buy one just now,to make company for my 3 day old Fenix PD-12. One can never have too many lights!! Thanks,HB
Wow FlashLion, great review! Very professional. This light to me, seems to be the perfect EDC. Side switch, (which I love in lights), simple UI, very small and powerful. What’s not to like? 
The green tint. …the only the holding me back 
wonderful review!
I regret selling mine 
Can’t wait for mine to arrive. Great review!
Still loving mine. It’s a great light - I had thought about taking the magnet out, but it had proved useful.
I have the original S10 version, which I modded to upgrade the emitter to a 500k XML2 T6 neutral. Great light. I love the new shortcut the L2 version has to max.
The S10 is one of the best pocket EDC lights available.
I think so. It doesn’t seem to get much attention though?
I just received mine a few days ago and it has a definite green tint in all modes. Not excessive but the green is there.
Oh yeah. I had this problem with my L1 S10 model. I fixed it by replacing the emitter and the lens.
I read that they changed the lens in the L2 model. Supposedly the beam is still slightly greenish, but nowhere near as bad as it was originally.
The green tint is most definitely less severe than with the XM-L emitter, the S20 I had was quite green. The S10 I’ve got is slightly green in moonlight and low BUT I don’t think it makes any difference when you actually use the light. I generally use moonlight in the middle of the night, part of my business is looking after people’s dogs while they are away, and this often involves getting up in the middle of the night if the dog wakes me up for what ever reason - I promise you that at the times you need to use moonlight, you don’t notice the tint - but it is lovely to have a mode that doesn’t blind you!
Low is not much use out side, it just isn’t quite bright enough in my opinion (for walking) and the very slight green tint is not noticeable indoors when you are using the light on low, say for finding something or lighting up a tight space and so on.
I also think with current controlled lights you are going to have to accept some tint shift.
Its a practical light, a real user.
Agreed… for lower power settings. At max power there shouldn’t be much tint shift and I expect to not see any green tint.
Most of the greenish tint from the original S10 wasn’t caused by the emitter. It was actually caused by the coatings on the lens. Replacing the lens fixes it pretty easily.
Yes I have read that. As I say, the slight green tint on mine is only perceptible on moonlight and low.
I agree with all the above statements concerning the green tint. My example though is green in all modes but I will say it’s less in high.
However, it doesn’t bother me in real world use but if it was any greener, I would have sent it back.
I still say, (even with the green in mine), it’s a dynamite little light especially with the side switch. The build quality is excellent and the UI is so simple which I really like. I also like the extra bonus of the magnet in the tail as it does come in handy occasionally.
I have a Nitecore EA4 that I never use because, (to me), the UI is way more complicated than it should be and every time I go to use it, I can’t remember the UI drill.
Again, even though there is the green, I can’t recommend this light more highly for someone who wants a tiny, easy to use, quality built light that they can put in their pocket and hardly know it’s there.
