The build quality and design of this light is worth double or triple the price, even if it were a DIY host. Honestly, I’ve acquired lights in the $100 range that were no better, if as good.
That is the specialty of BLF logo, only for BLF user that know the risk J) well, auto-stepdown is a good choice also, or consider as turbo.
I’m more curious about the reflector than the host….
In a nice way, tell the manufacturer we don’t care about led longevity, we want 4 amps. I will buy a couple of these either way but if I was only buying one light right now I would get the XinTD X3 going on in the other group buy if this light is only going to be 3 amps. Even though this light is $7 cheaper it needs something to make it better than the X3. Don’t think the quality/machining will put it ahead of the X3 and the X3 also has a copper pill.
Very nice of the MF to sell it as a host as well. I will have one extra if it will be available as host. I take it that the host option will be cheaper for there's no led/driver and less assembly costs?
i might be in for one NW, but i would also like something like a timed turbo mode at 3+ amps, and a medium and low. wouldn’t mind a lowlow or moonlight, but it isn’t a must.
just 3 amps doesn’t make it so special, and then i would neither need nor “need” one…
