Ok , I got the light plus the claw [ Carbiner to some ]
Here is what I got , the gift box , Claw , spare clicky - lens , and 3 split rings , oh and not forgetting the light .
I have to admit , it is a slender flashlight .
The above picture shows the lens retaining ring lose , just so you know its there ...
Installing the split ring was fun ... Not !
One way to carry it , attached to keys possibly ...
And a group shot ...
Ok lets move onto performance shall we ...
AA Nimh cells
All Nimh cells pulled right around 1A , and I measured some 57 to 58 Lumen ... [ 5 cells tested ]
Alkaline Cells
Here things get a little more interesting , lowest current measured was 0.42A and highest was 0.46A and I got a very consistent 57L output
Lithium Cell
Now here it gets better again , 0.37A and some 57L output
So whats going on , obviously the light is well regulated , and is doing its best to maintain output .. The Nimh cells had the lowest voltage range , from 1.29v to about 1.31v , the Alkaline's were some 1.57v to 1.61v .. and the lithium's resting voltage was 1.71v or so ...
I dont know if this light is 10440 compatible , and wont risk such ...
The build quality looks to be excellent , the one I got , WARM and I mean WARM tint , not incan warm , but certainly on its way ..
Light will tail stand , unless you put the split ring in place . [ Which I did ]
Clicky is very solid - no issues
Nicely Machined
No battery slop
No PWM I can see
The Claw - Wow really well made , I hope you ordered one !
BLF Edition - wow hard to see the text - stealthy
Beam quality - I would rate excellent
No buyers remorse on this one
Its just a real nice light , but what it needs is a clip , dont get me wrong , it works as a keyring light , but a clip would make it a pocket light ...
Even though its stainless steel , its not that heavy , in fact surprisingly not so ..
A solid thumbs up on this one , and I cant see any reason not to give it 10 out of 10 , Im trying real hard to mark it down , but simply cant find any reason not to give the light full marks ... [ Damn ]
