3) Deep reflector: WICKEDTIGHTHOTSPOT—nearly as tight a spot as on an XR-E. No joke! UPDATE — absolutely insane throw!!! Only a little shining and pointing has been done, but this thing seems to throw nearly on par with the HD2010. Ridiculous throw!
4) Spongy switch, but not bad.
5) Feels like glass lens and loooong and deeeep reflector, 3 inches deep, seriously!
6) Disappointing output. Maybe 580 lumens.
7) Big! Not bulky, just big for its size.
8.) Bad PWM on low.
9) tiny pill with questionable heatsinking. Just sort of spins around loose in there. I readjusted and tightened it now for a better connection (and a few extra lumens, maybe).
10) It’s an olive green. Not as ugly as I thought it would be.
So, I’m at work and can’t spend too much time on this, but here is a pic with beamshot comparisons of the KE67 and three other lights. Sorry for the greenish tint and overexposure.
Going from left to right: KE67 XM-L, Fenix TK11 R5, WF 501B MC-E, and Coleman MC-E
While it sports a nice, enviably tight beam, I don’t recommend it. It’s just not driven to anywhere near its potential. Any XM-L would blow it away and any MC-E is serious competition for it or else beats it. The 501B MC-E pictured is the hardest driven I’ve ever seen at 2.6 amps. Loaned it to a friend and he switched to an XM-L, but this thing is a performer. But this XM-L should blow these lights away, and yet can’t. And the button is spongy and I’ve quickly gotten tired of the form-factor. I say pass.
