Thank you guys!
I wish I have more time to translate more of my reviews and post em here… :weary:
Really apreciated words!

You should change it to:

Modes: 3 (Low-Mid-High) with no memory.

Just to save any confusion with it always starting in low mode :wink:

Can you measure lux/1m value?

30

Done! Thanks for the suggestion, Jamie! :wink:

31

Yes, I can. Just give me a few days 0:)

UPz,
One thing I notice from your review is the DQG’s beam appears to have superior tint consistency across the beam. XM-L lights typically exhibit some difference in tint between the hotspot and spill. Do you think the DQG’s TIR optic helps mitigate this?

Or does the XM-L2 simply improve over the XM-L1 in this respect?

Thanks.

Hi Pickens!

I own other XM-L2 lights with standart reflectors that still exhibit that tint difference in betwen the hotspot and the spill (usually greenish-yellowish), so I would say it is the TIR optics what makes this beauty uniform tint consistency in the DQG Tiny18650.

Regards!

Thank you for following up on that :slight_smile:
That aspect of XM-L/2 lights has always irked me a bit. I only buy a couple ‘ready-to-go’ lights a year and the DQG 18650 is now on my list of prospects!

35

IMHO it is a great light, won’t disappoint you.

Thanks a lot for the review! Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.
