I owned one of these. Comments:
- I still wonder about the moonlight mode. Seems unintuitive to me that you need to press both the side switch and the tailcap switch in order to activate the moonlight mode. I don’t see why Olight couldn’t simply have made it a 4-mode flashlight (Hi-Med-Lo-ML). With last mode memory, users could pick whatever mode they most liked to see when they turned the flashlight on. In my case, that would have been ML. For hunters, that would have been Med or Hi.
- The tint has been referred to sometimes as a “halogen green”. I guess that’s a good description. I don’t like green tints in my LED flashlights, but I didn’t find this shade particularly distasteful. It kind of reminded me of the effect of looking through those “Blu-Ray” sunglasses, everything looks unnatural - not unpleasant, just unnatural. Of course, the M3XS’s beam is much more subtle and less pronounced - it’s not green, it’s a hint of green and generally noticeable only when whitewall hunting.
- The form factor for a light that is this bright seemed ridiculously small. This thing is like a toothpick compared to the old 3D Maglites that I used to use. Of course, compared to my EC11, this thing is a behemoth… so I guess size is relative. But still … I was impressed!
So, why’d I sell it?
To buy another flashlight, of course! :evil:
