I’m really enjoying my HL01 in stonewash with SST-20 4000k.
This is my first SST-20 4000k and while I’ll always go back to my Cree lights to blast stuff it provides a good all round light for around the house and occasional outdoor use.
The design+chip offers a decent throw I can check on my sheep in the paddock from the back deck(porch) and spot critters around the yard (still missing the cree ‘blast’ but it gets by).
The High CRI is pleasant, the tint has no noticeable green or shift. Indoors it doesn’t bother others, I can check on sleeping kids and animals without disturbance.
I’ve been running the full size tube, it feels good in the hand.
The thermals are great! No overheating issues whatsoever.
Great magnet, very strong, though sometimes sticks to stuff you don’t want it to.
Anduril and the aux lights all work really well, yeah the blue is a bit restrictive but it does low, high, flash, off etc and is great for keeping track of the light outdoors.
I often switch between lockout and unlocked for indoors and outdoors. The click and double click momentary comes out of the box with a great levels, one for moonlight-ish and one that’s quite usable without unlocking the light.
Pleasantly surprised at this light, thanks to all for the design input!
