[spotlight thingy with filters]
Just got mine. Meh. It’s… okay.
Super-lightweight, so only 1 cell inside, not 4. Only the body is thin extruded Al; everything else is plastic plastic, and plastic. Head, handle, back, all plastic.
That said, there’s a teenytiny little XP-E2 in a giant reflector, so it throws a pretty tight and clean round beam, very little corona, ’though a little bullseye-y. Charger’s a simple 4.2V CC/CV output which gets crowbarred right across the cell when plugged in.
“6000lm”? Uhhhh, no. Not even close. Decimal’s in the wrong place. 600lm would be optimistic based on ceiling bounce.
The UI is simple. Front button controls the spotlamp, rear button the side-flood lamp. Clicking always goes high/low/off. Spacing is horrible, though, like 100%/80%/off, that’s it. Both are CW, probably 6500K but not too crappy a color/tint.
I like the filter concept, might come in handy.
Cell doesn’t look to be (easily) replaceable, nor is it usb-charged, but needs the included charger. Lose that, and goodbye light once it goes dead.
Overall verdict? Would be a good kid’s lantern/spotlight for his/her room, or backyard camping. Not so bright as to fry youngling retinas, yet still handy for under-the-covers reading comix and the like.
As an around-the house light, too. Spotlight for the backyard, floodlight for inside or finding the fusebox, etc. Not a barn-burner, but okay in a pinch.
Just don’t lose the charger.
