They have CW version, which is T6.

Now that you have mentioned it, NW is T5. They should have used T6 3C Neutral white. :D

I mean my S1 is so much cheaper and is U2.

Well, in the end, capacity is everything. Trustfire 26650 5000mAh's are actually about 4300mAh, Redilast 18650's are 3100mAh. If you're looking for longer run time, which would you rather have? At least with a couple of my lights, Fandyfire HD-2010 and my Shadow JM07 Pro, I have the choice whether to use an 18650 or 26650.

I’d rather have two 18650’s, providing 6200mAh at weight and volume of a single 26650. :Р

(or 3*18650's in parallel/series (preferably series, due to better regulation with higher voltage) with a bit fatter flashlight.. I like 'em fat, gives a lot of surface area for heatsinking).

Yep, lately I've been liking the larger diameter hand-holds offered with these other battery configurations too and for the same reasons you mention.

I never bothered to read this thread because Spark = $$$$ but that is one awesome light!

They must be putting a lot of efforts in designing its reflector

Hope they have a heatpipe or something in that pole the XM-Ls mount of, otherwise the heat will be pretty unmanageable.

Heatsinking... I really see this as an awesome 1.5K lumen spotlight with the occasional 3.5K burst.

I still want one...

What a piece of junk! For like 30 bucks you can get a single XM-L U2 with big reflector that throws 1000 lumens a long ways.

They want 400 bucks for this thing? You could get a SR90 Intimidator for the same price which is proven to work extremely well with no heat issues and a charger that comes with it, along with battery pack and charge indicator.

All we have so far that I’ve found. 120m to the house, according to the sales thread from SBflashlights.

Although its a photo, it really doesn’t tell us That much, but we can see that it is relatively foggy/hazy, the street lights are still pretty bright (atmospheric bounce) but the light seems to throw 100+m pretty easily as you would expect, but without totally washing out the nearby cabbage At least we know this isn’t going to be another serious flood machine.

The other photos show that the beam is relatively well behaved and after maturation does appear to be very nicely balanced, and should also be able to do away with the doughnut patterns of large emitters? time will tell. I am very tempted to get one, if anyone wants to buy my collection, including a M60R in practically excellent condition with custom 2x 18650 battery holder

Wow you Got to test it in Iraq ……….

All of these new lights hitting the market are awesome. Thrunite, etc…The price however, is not. I just can’t see spending this much on foreign lights. If the need for warranty work comes around, you’re left relying on a dealer and poor communication with the foreign company. Too bad they aren’t more affordable.

Selfbuilt should have his full review up very soon on the other forum. I’m sure a lot of people are very curious to see how this new design stands up to being put through the paces.
