Got Lumens?
Flashlight Enthusiast
I would like to see that comparison. I too got an Entusiast, but it's my first DEFT. I guess I jumped on at the last train out . I look forward to the day when SaaB takes the full size DEFT updates it with his new design concepts of this great little Enthusiast EDC. It would be soo cool to see a newer, slightly larger than the EDC, but smaller than the Full sized DEFT, that would allow him to use an LED with a slightly larger die that has 3-4X more output and throw. I can say I have compared it to a few of my other lights and it rocks.I was fortunate enough to snag one of these jewels. I had high expectations seeing the writeup and images. I know what Saabluster's lights can do, as I have 3 versions of his larger DEFT's (with 5 pills), and all 3 of his EDC's. When I got this Enthusiast model, I just admired the workmanship and details for quite a while. I thought it would be a little brighter than the LR+, but my expectations were blown out of the water. The precision sharpness and intensity of this model's focused LED die compared to all the previous DEFT and EDC's seems like it is from another planet, or some "Back To The Future" future Doc Brown creation. I don't know how many of us have all the model versions, but I need to get a single beamshot view showing them all together.
I haven't had anything here at CPF create enough interest for me personally--to make me want to go out and do more shootouts like I used to, but this light REQUIRES that I get it done. I could go on and on (as I did in my email to Saabluster), but what's needed is "the money shot" of them all together. Stay tuned.
