Tint. The usual XP-L that comes in the T10 NW nowadays has an avocado-like green/yellow color going that’s just not nice to look at. I have one and I’m not a fan of the tint at all, even if the torch itself is very good.
i have the SC62w which is the same size as an AA light so that fills that role. With the AAA i can throw it in my shorts when i am at home and not notice it, same when i am at work in my dress pants. thanks for the suggestion. if i was hunting for an AA id get the T10.
Look to the left of the op at the thorfire add. 2 x AAA penlight with a nice moon low mode. Nicely spaced with medium and high, no blinky’s which are kinda silly in a penlight anyway. I’d invest in either nimh’s or lithium primaries to avoid the alkaleak syndrome but it’s inexpensive enough not to worry.
[QUOTE=KiwiMark;5055512]I’ve been testing the newer Astrolux A01:
If I get the light onto medium and then turn it off, 2 hours later I turn it on and it I get high mode.
If I get the light onto medium and then turn it off, 3 hours later I turn it on and it I get low mode.
Somewhere between 2 and 3 hours this light resets.
I use the light each morning and it comes on in low mode as I want, that’s good I suppose. But if I turn it off then I’ll get medium mode unless I wait for more than 2-3 hours.
I bought a Manker E01 for $15.95 from Manker’s site.
If I get the light onto medium and then turn it off, 5 seconds later I turn it on and it I get high mode.
If I get the light onto medium and then turn it off, 11 seconds later I turn it on and it I get low mode.
Manker says it resets after being off for 10 seconds, happily this information is correct.
If you don’t want the new (completely rubbish) UI then I’d recommend buying the Manker E01 for a few more dollars and forget about the Astrolux.[/QUOTE]
Damn! I gifted four A01 for Christmas, and another lately, and now i’m worried those may be the NMM affected ones. I dropped a cell in them, checked they where working and put them back in their box. Didn’t check tint or UI. Looking back it was a known problem late 2016 - and still is apparently. :person_facepalming:
That’s the bright side… Sometime i wish i forget all about lights and be happy with anything a bit brighter then and old school incand - a cheap SK68 clone caught me into the obsession a few years back. The newer A01 NMM version is reported to be brighter too.
And… the last one i gifted was purple, and instantly made the recipient happy - whatever the UI and tint was. :partying_face:
I’m about to get a couple more…
