I’ve been considering an S41 or E14 but have been put off by the complaints on the Nichia tint (green), among other issues (mixed emitter’s, and emitters burning out) I’m really only interested in using with 18650.
It appears with this new version we may see some improvements, the stainless looks great but I’m afraid it would be too heavy to actually want to carry like the SS/Cu X6 is (that one just sits, it’s way too heavy to carry around)
If it’s true that this will be an improved version I’m hoping for it to also be made available with both tubes in aluminum.
Maybe they do not wish to be very open about that given the negative wrap a certain brand has gotten by doing some specials pretty flaky?
Bit I bet it starts with an I
I have the E-14 Nichia and it is not glued nor green. I have been happy with it and it has become my “go to” light when I need one.
I orderd the 18650 tube and use that when I want longer run times. Most of the time it is in the 18350 configuration which I find very convenient to carry and use. I put a label on each of my batteries to identify the purchase date and find that the 18650 tube is a little tight when accommodating a labeled battery .
