About to buy the Rook, alternative suggestions?

Ah, sounds about right. It seems quite bright compared to my Xiaozhi (2.8A Nanjg) & BLF A8. But yes, the next mode memory driver really kills it.

Thanks,

That F13 really is a good looking light. Looking forward to your reviews. 8)

If that don’t work tell ’er to make you a sandwich! LOL

My mostly-complete review of the F13 is posted. Good mod host, but falls down in critical areas (cheap driver, low output, lack of thermal paste) making it a just-OK light as shipped.
