I pick number 54 because that is the number in V54
I recently bought the Oligjt M2Xvn. It contains all the extras, and is about 385K CD!
I love the user interface with the Driver VN2! When I went camping, I used about 4 modes. Now I have my light on 100% and strobe. I sleep with it under my pillow, sitting next to a spyderco knife. If anyone breaks into my house, I am relying on Vinhs M2Xvn to buy me time. That's how confident I am in his light!
Beam tint with the XPG2 led is amazing, but I should be fair and say that I got a Fiat Lux one
. The beam is slightly warm, but not too warm. The hotspot is also perfectly round!
Let me talk about throw... I am someone who never believed in throw. One morning I woke up, and decided to chat on candle power forums. Then I found the V54 light list. I couldn't resist this light because it was extremely affordable. Now I am already ready for my next purchase from him; however, I'm not going to get off of the subject. This light is a laser beam. I could see the top of a huge ski-resort mountain with this! Within normal use, there is no such thing as a tree too far away! I believe this flashlight is so focused that it could easily disorientate someone!
I think Vinh has done some magic to my light, and let me tell you why. I ordered the thermal paste mod. this light just doesn't get hot! When it gets warm to the touch, I literally swing the light around and blow on it for 30 seconds. Then the light is pretty cold! I know Vinh isn't joking when he talks about adding thermal paste.
Even though the engraving isn't a big deal, it is extremely important to mention it. Vinh does the most beautiful engravings into his lights! I have no idea how he gets such a clean signature, but it is so nice! It is a fairly deep engraving, and so clean! I also ordered the blue tailswitch cover. It makes the button feel much better! Vinh really goes to the end of the earth to improve upon these flashlights.
Overall opinion on Vinh's flashlights: I believe that Vinh is the number 1 flashlight customizer on the market. He does quality work, and stands by it. He even strips anodizing, and heat treats lights! If anyone here is worried about buying a custom flashlight because you believe they are not reliable, they are!
P.S- You need High-discharge batteries? Vinh knows where you can get some good ones! They are the BEST high discharge batteries out there!
Thank you so much Vinh for making lights for all of us. You are a really good person, so please keep it up. I know that 54 is not the right number because it is so obvious, but I wanted to post this review because I wanted to share my experience with everyone. Thank you so much!
