Awesome pics and beamshots andreas! Thanks for taking all the time to do that.
This PD40 is on my short list. I have the 4Sevens MMU-X3 and I like the size and form factor, but the UI is just 'eh' on the 4Sevens.
Nice review kj2 and great size comparison shots! I absolutely do not need this light but I'm such a sucker for 1xAAA clicky lights. Out of curiosity, have you tried running a 10440 battery in it? I'm sure it's not supported or recommended, but wonder if it would work in this little light.

Flashlion...great, great pics! Really well done and the gifs are super helpful. Thank you!
+1. Get the Triple XP-G2 version of this and it'll blow you away...or at least it did for me. My old school, round body 6P was brought back from the dead with this drop-in. Plus, it's only about $32 w/CPF discount. I'm also running a rechargeable 17670 li-ion and it works great.

Good story...and a notable point...it's always better to have any flashlight on you rather than no light at all.
A while back I put a Photon on all of my keychains. They're super lightweight, unobtrusive and actually put out a good amount of light in pitch black settings like you found...
I broke down and bought the MMU-X3. So far, I'm really enjoying everything about the light except the UI. Fit and finish are excellent and it's quite a diminutive little light for a triple XM-L2.
IMHO...the only downside of the MMU-X3 is the UI. My previous concerns about the UI were...
The stock headbands that are coming out from ZL now have a top strap. HUGE improvement over the single strap headband design that ZL previously used.
Seems to support the weight of the ZL H602W quite well.
