A closer look :

Flashlight is slightly longer compared to classic 18650 lights (145mm) due to the space tail switch and e-switch takes :

Flashlight has a nice OP reflector and AR coated lens :

Tail switch (on/off function) :

It changes modes through the e-switch :

Clip (removable) :

Anodized , non-square threads :

Flashlight’s Parts :

You can see in order : 18650 battery for reference , flashlight head , battery tube and tailcap

Flashlight head , with brass button :

Tailcap :

Tailcap assembly coming soon …

Flashlight’s Holster :

Holster is designed for WL-S2 :

How it works (&modes) :

Flashlight uses the switch at the taicap for on/off function . E-switch navigates through modes , with a short press (Turbo – Hogh – Medium – Low – Moonlight Low) . Long press activates tactical Strobe (and another long press if you are in Strobe activates SOS) . Also flashlight has mode memory .

Moonlight mode is really low .

Battery indicator :

Flashlight has a very simple battery indicator , on the e-switch :

Measurements :

Samsung INR18650-30Q was used in all measurements

Lumens on highest setting (higher mode) : 958

Tailcap measurements (amp draw) :

• Moonlight – 0.040A
• Low – 0.15A
• Medium – 0.55A
• High – 1.51A
• Turbo – 2.95A

My test , with thermal data :

Highest Mode , first 30 minutes (actual runtime ~90 minutes) :

PWM :

Led in lower modes uses PWM , but the frequency is so high that it can’t be seen ( even by “sensitive” eyes ).

Intensity :

WL-S2 : 10.23kcd

Beamshots :

Wall @ 12m :

Turbo :

High :

Conclusion :

An interesting light , made from high quality components , but maybe not so powerful . It stays cool in all modes , even for long times , with the cost of not-so-high output .

Comment if you want me to check something on the flashlight , or tell your opinion . Thanks !
