Went for a nice walk around the neighborhood last night with the Xanes 3320.

The beam. Well, it starts off good with a nice cool hot spot, and good amount of cool white flood. It is pretty bright, too. But, there is an ugly outer ring that I don’t like.

As a flashaholic, I wouldn’t use this every night for my walks, because that outer ring bugs me. I like the look and feel of the torch itself, so I can look past the UI for the price point, but not the ring-around-the-rosy. Yes, it’s unsightly like a rash, though not red.

My 3320 didn’t come with grease on the threads, so if you buy one to give as a gift, I would grease them so it doesn’t feel and sound cheaply made.
