It seems to be an improved V9CS with HAIII body, knurling, belt clip and a U3 led. The head diameter looks like got a bit wider too. I asked this model to Crelant on CPF and even they didn’t know that it was sold online. They said they were preparing the photographs for their product pages and an announcement will be made soon.
As always, I ordered this light before even it was announced I would eventually get a V9CS but HAII body without a clip or knurling was pulling me back.
Similar enough to this 2x18650 model. The laser marking depicts U3, the attached small card with specification listing shows it is U2. It operates flawlessly in perfect condition. The big crate cartoon box filled with different Crelants was reinforced with plastic adhevise tapes in Olight markings.
U3 is still very expensive. But Crelant might export to overseas markets their best batches of products.
Hank mailed me after my order, asking if I wanted a U3 1C or a T6 3C emitter for this light. So I guess, we all trust Hank’s words, this light should arrive with a U3 1C. I also ordered a couple of U2 2B emitter just to be sure this light will have a good tint after all.
Mine showed up today seems well made, I had some issues with my v9cs so Crelant sent me this as a replacement, visually brightness looks about the same, the black finish looks nice and the Ui im my opinion is slightly better, looks like its going to throw pretty good for a single 18650 light! Ill be trying it out tonight.
1. Works fine with 2 x CR123A 3.0 V lithium cells.
2. Works fine with 1 x 18650.
3. U3 marked on the body and on the spec. document card.
4. Beautiful SS bezel ,tailcap decorative ring and clip.
5. Clear and clean AR coated lens and dustless reflector.
6. High quality machining work and beautiful hard anodized coating
7. Side and tail switches are comfortable for use.
8. Could be a nice replacement for Fenix TK22.
Mine hasn’t showed up yet but now Hank brings in Nitecore EA4 Pioneer to his shop. Prices are not the lowest (for some) but Intl Outdoor always has something to attract me
