How can something this tiny with a reflector does 150kcd?!

150kcd....700 lumens... only a 35mm head in the most compact package ever? Almost 800m throw?!?! Wow... what times we live in. You know, I wanted to wait for a thrower with the same size head but using an 18650, but the extra weight and bulk over a 14450 is very noticeable in a modern slim fit suit jacket pocket, which is my only available pocket for a light larger than 24mm head size, but smaller than 38mm head size.

I think I will buy this in 1.1, even though I already have the W2 version. 1000 lumens down to 700 means more run time, less heat, and a more clearly defined hot spot which increases perception of shock/wow factor for size!

Yup. In in 18650 body it wil loose some of its appeal. At that rate you would kinda want a larger reflector and then that wold exactly make it a Mini with 300+ Kcd...

Everyone with a Micro W1.1 is impressed so far.

Thank you for the reassurance! It is much appreciated. Flashlight money is hard to come by so it feels good knowing I am making a popular, well-received purchase!

As always there isn't much to stress about. Returns are always hassle free if it doesn't meet your expectations. ;-)

I like my TX25Cvn with the W1.1 alot and it "only" makes 110kcd. But at night time, everytime I turn it on, I am impressed how far it throws for something so small. The Micro is a bit larger but throws 40kcd more so I imagine it would be quite impressive. You would have Mini GT or D1S in the size of a micro. Even the stock D1S was super impressive the first time I used it.

I am very impressed with deerelight Xsvn Olson, manker u21vn Olson, acebeam t27vn Olson, and mateminco mt35vn white 2.
