It's not that bright. It's the way I use it for years. I never anyone woke up this way.

Is it a forward or reverse clicky? BTW: 219C =

Yeah, there is always a manual work around like that, but having the UI option is what I'm looking for.
Hey, wacbzz! :wave: Hope you're doing well. I don't have a definitive answer. However, the description on the website reads, We only made 125 lights in each finish. That leads me to believe that they were machined in-house. Of course it could very easily mean, We only had 125 lights made in each finish. It'd be too cool if they were indeed machined by Jason & CO. The lack of a flag icon in the specifications section doesn't lend any clues.

That was my original thought as well. I know that the FS lights were made in China, but I was just hoping the new owner had perhaps made them in house. Unlikely, but maybe. Country of origin made/makes no difference in my purchase decision. Nonetheless, I'd still like to know.
As well, in looking at the six(?!) different configuration modes, why is there no simple Hi-Lo or Lo-Hi? While it may be an "improvement" to have Lo-Med-Hi-Burst-Strobe and whatever other additional configurations there are, it is with head scratching wonder that the most probable use of this light would not require strobe or a burst mode. Simple Hi-Lo or Lo-Hi - at least as a user configurable option - would have been welcome...

Run time of other modes are calculated based on measured run time on high.

Medium/High is 15/60 lumens (configuration 3) and is basically what you are looking for. All configurations (except the first two) have 100 lumen burst mode available. Configuration 5 is "reversed" and has H/M/L. With the hybrid memory you can basically just use H/M and never have to scroll through low. I realized it's a break from convention to call moonlight "low" but part of that is driven by burst mode being the "true" high at 100% output.

Can't have everything
Tailstanding is always my preference, but basically if you want a clicky on a light this small in diameter it can't tailstand because the button has to be proud. The flat metal tailcap had two issues: 1) it feels really janky and tends to get stuck, as with all "metal cap over rubber boot" buttons. 2) It activated by accident all the time.Newguy2012

The polished finishes looks plasticky to me. I'm guessing the two satin finishes are most likely to stay in production.
The finish on these are very appealing. The quality looks nice, with the Prometheus vibe. Well Done!
Which possibly makes the polished versions more collectable, if they don't make it to production. I got the Polished Nickel because a smooth satin finish is too slippery, and all my other lights are black, but if I had more cash I would've gone for the Tuxedo too. Also, I don't care for finger printing.
New production in China or on-prem?No, these are new production
Also, this run of 500 will be the only ones that sport the Prometheus and the Foursevens branding. Totally cool / artistic / maker / feature.

It's unlikely he it does on-prem. It more likely the Production is in China.

I missed the satin nickel. Hopefully it will show up again or perhaps in ti...
Where ya been keeping yourself, over on that other forum?
Seeing how quickly the satin sold out, they're probably be more coming down the pike. ~ Chance
