First impressions: MX25L4CvnT Spec 2: DriverVNX2, XPL PDT, Thrower, ANSI Lumen 5000, Lux 185K, Throw 860m.
First things: Physical stats: Same head diameter as pop can light: 2.5 inches/63.5 mm.
Weight is also in the pop can weight range: 408 grams without batteries, 552 grams/1.22 pounds with batteries.
Body diameter is also same as for most all 4 x 18650 pop can lights.
Length is longer, 5.6 inches/143 mm, but for good reason: This light throws where no usual pop can flooder has thrown before.
Basically, it is like taking the original stock Niwalker MM15 MT-G2 and keeping the head diameter, the body diameter and lumens the same, but increasing the weigh a little bit, and increasing the length some more, and the net result is the same amount of lumens are thrown in a not too narrow beam, instead of maximally widely dispersed, with very little throw.
Tint: The XP-L PDT emitters, in this light, put forth a very, very nice tint. No green whatsoever, no yellow whatsoever, no blue whatsoever. To me, it is a nice neutral, just a wee little bit on the warm side. Warm white is how I could describe it.
Beam pattern: What a nice way of putting forth 5,000 lumens in such a way that usable throw occurs, along with usable beam diameter. For the head diameter of the light, and also for the not excessive weight of the light, this light puts 5,000 lumens out there as far as they will go. Any further throw will need a larger head diameter, as well as the much heavier weight that goes along with large head diameter lights.
Driver: VNX2 in the default mode, out of the box, means that all is last mode memorized. The mode you were in when you turned it off = the mode it will be in when you turn it on. Press and hold results in ramping up through the power levels. Double click yields turbo. VNX2 also means that the Eagletac pin/twist deal is entirely bypassed.
Build quality is very nice, as usual for Eagletac. This item is in Kit form, replete with rigid holster and stainless steel bezel. The SS bezel, along with the four non-overlapping aluminum reflectors provide an attractive appearance. The ridged holster provides a secure feeling when in use: you won't feel like the light is flopping around/going to fall out.
If you are looking for usable throw with usable power with usable beam width with very nice tint, in a package that is not heavier nor wider than a pop can flooder, look no further!
