The people who have already got them are impressed, too.
As I wrote several times, a flood beam is very good for climbing and walking in the dark. That is (one of the reasons) why carbide lights were so popular for such a long time for cavers. Of course, there are cases were you have to look for a trail in the distance.
Very unlikely that it spins, as there is almost no momentum. It's center of gravity is very, very close to the pivot point.
All I know is that I was scrambling up and down rock faces at 2-5 AM and I found I wished for a bit of a less diffuse beam. I would gladly give up a bit of the flood for a more concentrated beam.
The flood is pretty wild, it practically fills your field of view so everything is lit, even in your peripheral vision.
I took a bit of a tumble off a rock ridge and found I was falling into darkness. That was one of the moments where I wanted less flood.
Yes, I know the light will never spin due to momentum. I just prefer the tube to be a little snugger in the bracket.
I'm actually stating my preferences and impressions, not all unbendable facts, just my preferences and obrservations based on use and consulting with George.
BTW, one thing that impresses me about Zebralight in general: It fulfills it's promises.
No pre-buys, no "specs will change drastically when we deliver", no waiting forever.
All that I have stated is exactly as advertised by Zebra. What they state is what they delivered. I will certainly check out more of their stuff in the future...
