Soon, I hope... Just ordered it. I have seen something like this before. Isn't that a feature of a Surefire light? Never cared enough to remember any names of these ghastly expensive things...
Just in case there's any confusion over what this is, it's a normal xp-g drop-in with a normal (5mm?) red led stuck on one side of the reflector. On first pass I thought it was a red cree.
Sure, I just wanted to point it out more explicitly so nobody accidentally orders it thinking they'll get a full power red light. The odd placement hides it a bit in the reflections on the reflector.
Thanks, that was the one I meant. Definitely cool to have it as a drop in, it's like a very low "low"-setting, and should have a ultra-long runtime (or so I hope).
It's definitely something different. Mine has ramping for both the higher powered XP-E and for the 5mm red LED. The red one can get so low that you can't tell it's on if you aren't looking directly at it! It's nice for checking the time at night or getting out of a tent (or bed) to go to the bathroom.
I don't know how it is controlled. Either I'm not sensitive to PWM or it's got a high enough frequency or it's current controlled because I've noticed no flickering.
I think it's current controlled but I can't say for sure. You can also use it in Morse Code mode if you know Morse Code :)
Just got mine. Really digging it in a stock 6p. The beams aren’t the prettiest, but the tint is good and the brightness levels are good. Seem like a great bedside light if not used elsewhere.
