Ughhhh it’s doodoo brown 
At least no one will steal it…
The box it came in
Size comparo.
(With Olight 2500mAh NiMH in either light, d3aa Al bezel is 72g, kr1aa steel bezel is 69g. The Al bezel on its own is roughly 1+ grams, but by handfeel weighs roughly 1/3-1/4 as much as the steel.)
CCT comparo
Quick summary of impressions:
The NTG 4200k is rather rosy rather like a very pale end of a cherry blossom. **-It makes the TS10 4000k look like pee in comparison…what a combo, pee and poo, lol…although, it’s not a fair statement, because even relatively neutral DUV like the Nichias in my D3AA look kinda green in comparison- The body ridges lend well to the cigar style grip, and the switch feels similar to a camera shutter button, feels exactly as expected, like a membrane infused eclicky. The sound tickles my brain, if not for the slight grindiness of metal on metal. The threads are quite thick and squared away.
The inner body tube could use some work, as it’s kind of gritty looking…so far so good though.
---------__--------—---_-__-
Body portion with intentional machining knurling, surprisingly comfortable for cigar hold, offers A LOT of traction. More comfortable than the WurkTS10.
Square cut threads, typical lube. Cleaned it right off and put my own, to remove any factory metal shavings
The inner body tube, looks to be plastidipped or similar
The tailcap, unfortunately the magnet orientation is opposite the polarity of the Olinks, will check later to see if it is not glued
The business end
There is indeed an AR coated glass, with an oring sealing it against the bezel. The bezel does have an inner lip where the oring sits.
Silver bezel with the silver filler ring, would be classier if the brown weren’t so poo colored…the SS Bezel does add a noticeable heft to the overall carry weight
The tail oring, had some small flecks of aluminum on them, but cleaned it off and relubed.
**the tailclip does rotate rather freely without the oring installed, but the oring gives it enough compression to act as an anti-roll when fully tightened
***Conclusion of initial impressions, besides my personal custom color choice, I feel that once Hank gets all the little wrinkles ironed out, he will have hit a home run with this one. Not to mention, He has already offered full support in case of anything going wrong; if that isn’t indicative of a great business, I don’t know what is.
I’ll followup in a few days after carrying and using it for a while, and whether or not I feel like the magnetic switch is of a value or a hindrance, as I work in an environment with lots of ferrous particulate.
****(the magnet is nowhere near as strong as the d3aa magnet, taking into account the size and form factor. Still functional though, can mount horizontally on a steel bed frame, but slides if gently nudged. Might be better to leave the Al bezel to reduce the moment of inertia.)
