I like the look of it, but I have a King already. If I had seen this first it would have been a higher priority. I think I would take the single XML 3X18650 USB charger flashlight over this, in NW. The darth was interesting at $60, not at $100.
Look at the fact that both the U2 and the T6 which is supposed to be 3C are green. That being said I doubt the U2 you will get will be green, since the white balance of the camera is off anyway.
You cannot judge the brightness of a flashlights from 1.5m beamshots, that can easily be a AA flashlight. There are many variable involved.
That video tells nothing. No lube is no big deal. One look at his pipe bombs, err...uh...cells and you can see he has no regard for his equipment or he'd have lubed that poor light.
The white lexan sheet he shines the light on would make the Sun look dim and his ratty batteries look like he uses them to hammer nails into the wall or break concrete with. They probably are nearly drained.
Heck, the first battery he installs looks like the lead from the protection circuit is hanging out bare and exposed. I was really waiting for the light to explode in his hands as soon as he threaded the body onto the head.
Just had it out for a quick play and a few observations are that the control ring rattles and that when you are changing modes it does take time to catch up and its not a smooth and quick transition. I also noticed that when going from medium to low sometimes it would just stay on medium.
Some pics, the first 3 are the Darth on low, medium and high and the 4th in my TN30 on turbo:
