Oh boy... The lowest I can set low seems to be 56 lumens. But... With the light off, if you hold the switch down, it starts ramping up, and the first level is 14 lumens. I'm really not sure though about the lowest you can set low mode. Seems like the #'s are all over the place, and once you raise low, it's hard to get it back low. ............ If you can understand that, I envy you!
This programmed low mode is rather confusing to me right now....
Edit: I can't seem to budge the head from the body tube - not sure if glued or one piece. I got the bezel off though, definite SS, 1 o-ring under the glass, nothing between the glass and bezel. The star is screwed down by 2 screws, there's definitely an aluminum plate that the aluminum star sits on. There's some thickness to the star/pill top combo. I tried pushing the driver out from the tube, and tried unscrewing the star/pill from the top - no luck either way. It seems like this may be it for the light.
Weird -- there are 3 wires soldered to the star, not two. Labeled: L-, L+, and V-. Anyone ever see anything like that? I haven't.
The buttons feel about perfect to me - not too easy, not too hard. They even have a nice audible click, so another bio feedback feature. Maybe not as recessed as they could be - definitely bumps out from the profile. No where as easy though as a SupFire M6 for example -- the M6 did activate in my bag and burned a tri-spot mark into a towel I had it wrapped in.
Thanks for the replies. I ordered on 1st Apr, but I have been checking on the shipment status everyday! Haha. Will probably be making my second order very soon.
I hope it’s very, very soon… ’cos I ordered 6 more it’s going to run out soon as this light become very popular and they might increase the price too :Sp
wow really? i thought the mini 01 was the brightest smallest 16340 there was.
shoot, im not up to date then haha.
now im gonna have to order one of these!
No - it has thermal grease under it, from the looks. The star definitely moves on the pill top when the screws are out.
"Bored out for 18350's?" - I'm no expert there, but the walls look pretty thin where the threads are, but the 18350's are close to fitting. In fact I was wondering if there are 18350's out there thinner than the ones I tried.
In the last pic above, you may notice a scratch on the right at the edge of the pill - this is where I tried unscrewing the pill with a needlenose, but to no avail - the needlenose slipped and put a deep scratch there.
I'd love to put in a XM-L2 T6 4C on copper, but the wiring looks iffy - '+' and '-' out the same hole, so if no slack, may not be able to do so. Also there's the mystery of the 3rd wire... If I could get the pill out, I'd upgrade the wires anyway.
