Remarkable, however: Extreme heat within a few seconds, light weight = poor heatsinking, extreme flood from 3x XHP 70's in small reflector, stated throw doubtful, very short battery life. Good showoff light.

Vinh,
I just wanted to tell you how happy I am with your D4Svn2. It's everything you claimed, and then some. In terms of focus and brilliance it truly blows away all my other D4S's, including: SST-20 5000K, SST-20 6500K, XP-L HI 6500K, and XP-L HI 5000K. I...
Detailed, highly informative and articulate, a really excellent review for an excellent light. Only problem is no holster and I can't find one online. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Is the ACEBEAM 3100 mAh IMR really "protected"? My understanding is that protection usually refers to low voltage cut-off. But Acebeam says "short circuit protection". Is that the same thing, and if not, is that battery really "unprotected" ?

My TN40S (CW) really lives up to the hype, especially considering how (relatively) short and compact it is compared to other super throwers. However, there is one big problem: the unavailability of a black belt holster. The only thing I could find was the"Flyye holster belt cordura pouch"...
I tried another more cumbersome approach; yours sounds better. Razor scratches for better glue adhesion? Will this do better than regular "2-ton" epoxy?

Excellent Light with serious design flaw:
Performance-wise the DN35 is an excellent light. Unfortunately, the ergonomic functionality is among the worst of the many lights I have used. Aside from the unnecessary second button, made superfluous by superior single button designs such as the...
I have several recent Zebralights but I'm passing on this one because I prefer the "brighter" cool whites. I'm willing to sacrifice truer CRI for brightness. Call me troglodyte!

I received what was supposedly the CW version, but was in fact the NW version. Frankly, I was disappointed with it compared with the CW K60.
Where did you get the CW version?

Here are some tests and comments about the Orbtronic 26650 battery. I just ordered the Golisi batteries. Thanks for the recommendation,

I'm considering buying the triple. Does it have low voltage cutoff? I've never used your services before; do I supply the light and send it to you?

Is it possible to dedome the XHP70.2 for better throw? I ask because I thought a dedome would provide more than an eighteen yard increase
