wight - my last/current status:
"696 kcd max, maybe a steady 685 kcd with the UCLp lens, measured at 10m. 685 kcd is 1655 meters, 5430 feet, 1.03 miles."
It's an easy, fairly cheap light to mod and get super throw out of. Not very useful as a stock light, but that was never the idea - for all of us considering this light, no one considered buying it as a stock light, no one at all - that's just crazy talk
