Thanks for the initial impressions Wrencher. Can't wait to get one in my hands.
Also, this type usually conducts current through the threads, where lubricant or oxidation can make for iffy current flow. The spring loaded type conducts current (usually) directly between the body end and the PCB, which is better.You tighten down the cell between two hard contact points with no spring.
Thelight has no momory for last setting. It is eas y to on hand cycle through the levels.

Hey MKlight...I went through both reviews briefly and while there are similarities, I can't really say they're "related". Someone here said that they think they've seen it before and I second that...it bugs me that I can't find it...the actual "relation". In any case, I'm sure at the price point, that whoever designed and manufactured this borrowed heavily from lights that have gone through our paypal accounts in the past. Cheers!
I don't really think that the Maratac looks too much like the Tiablos, just the somewhat the head and the taper into the body, the tail on the Maratac is the same the same diameter as the body, there's no clip indentation on the head or the slight taper at the end of the head. Eh I dunno, but honestly I don't care as the Maratac looks to be one heck of a light for the money.
