My new Brass Art 1 or 2 AAA light arrived today from Banggood. Had a member supplied code that made the price more reasonable, thanks!
First off, Banggood screwed up and forgot to include the 2*AAA tube, case open.
*They did not screw up… they separated the parts and sell a long and a short. The original manufacturer sold them as a set! This is an expensive little 1xAAA light, I would have loved to have the option of 1 or 2 batteries. But, I guess I never will! Yes, I missed that little part when I ordered.
BAD BANGGOOD!*
My first impressions are that it is extremely well made! It is listed as a L/M/H, but it really is H/M/L. I had hoped in this second generation light that it was really reversed, the first gen was an XP-G led and this one is an XP-G2. The tailcap draw is 2.4 amps with a NiMH battery. I do think it will get a 219B on a 10mm sinkpad!
The treads are great, it tail stands well and the machine work is pretty good. In a couple of spots at the head end of the flutes, the threads are just visible. The switch has a really good click feel, and it is reverse!
You can just see the edge of the threads in this pic…
Notice the LED centering ring??? The tiny OP reflector sits inside the ring and just over the LED for a perfectly centered LED! The pill was very easy to remove with an awl, threads again were perfect. This is a very nice light for a mass produced piece of hardware!
BTW, very nice hotspot at 4 feet with great spill. Can’t wait until dark! Any ideas regarding how to attach this to a keychain? Split rings just do not work!

Now if I could find a way to attach it to a keyring, it would be a great little EDC. It likes to pose with my other EDC as well!
