So my buddy just got in his DP XP-L HI and his has the gold ring that my PP has.
Same model, same emitter but not the same beam....I don't know if it is only with Armytek that happen.
I've also noticed that some of the Dobermann, Barracuda and Predator XP-L HI aren't cool white (vs XM-L2 U2) but aren't neutral white (vs XM-L2 T6)... they seem to be between the two somewhere.
I haven't seen anything like this from Eagletac's XP-L (HI or HD) flashlights.
seems like AT lost control of how to do quality control with a very big uptick in sales/production and is just passing anything. As for ET the XP-L HI drop in module for my T25C2 is dftly warm and its a for real HI emitter. Just got the new ET S200C2 CW XP-L HI and it is as cool as any V5 XP-L HD Ive seen. ET seems to have much better quality control than AT. Currently running 2x16340 Keeppowers in my DP HI and it rocks. What is this golden ring being spoken of? If anything it sounds like a reflection of the copper the emitters are put on...have yet to see any golden rings in my 3 AT 3rd gen lights
I bet he loves it! I am notorious around my non flashaholic friends for always having what they consider to be a "brighter than the sun" light hidden on me to pull out and light up the dark its hilarious even my first PD35 is so bright to them they cant even look at it. A few folks got sold on a few lights I would produce to turn the dark to near daylight as soon as I turned them on.
Odd my AT's just do not get hot at all. They will go full blast for nearly an hour before the 4 blink signal that the light is down shifting output to lower temperature and at that point they are merely kinda warm. Hmph....
The manual for the DP v3 HI is online on Armytek's website. It was about time. The "new" UI takes 5 cycles to enable/desable the strobe and firefly1. Same thing for the Predator and Barracuda.

Oh, I just noticed disabling the strobe also disables the firefly mode too. I've kept the strobe disabled so I've thought all the time it only had 4 modes (+ strobe) + max. RTFM, lol
Edit. My version needs only 3 cycles to enable/disable them.
Edit 2. It seems my memory is about 1 month long. See post #22: "Disabling/enabling strobe and moonlight mode works"
interesting beamshot! My PP HI looks just like that just without the ring. Now that I examine my PP closer Im pretty certain its gotta be caused by reflection off the copper(brass?)they use. One could argue your gold ring is the outer most edge of the fat corona.
