Woohoo, it's finally here, about 6 weeks after the expected shipping date. This is the most anticipated flashlight I've purchased to date. Ordered on Nov. 13 and shipped to Canada.
Here are my initial impressions:
In comparison to my H53c, the anodizing does not look as dark or thick, in my opinion the H53c looks a bit more slick, but the H600Fc still looks great. The switches feel identical and give a good click. It's amazing how much more of a punch this things packs. I was pleasantly surprised to find a pocket clip in the box, but it looks likes a complete afterthought and consolation gift.. I will likely be using a different one so that it carries deeper.
Size comparison:
Beam pattern is great, I'm looking forward to the more headlamp-friendly 90° flood. Now I kind of wish my H53c was frosted, but I will do some throw comparisons at similar lumens to get a better feel.
And what you've all been dying to know; the tint looks very nice, there is only a very slight hint of yellow to my eyes, but much less than the (almost muddy, but still nice in use) H53c's colour. I like that the frosted lense reduces tint shift from the hotspot to the corona.
The maximum lumen setting of 1568 lm is blazing hot and comparable to the max on my BL6 A6 3D. The minimum setting of 0.08 lm is a fair bit brighter than my H53c at 0.01 lm.
Prommagable UI works as described, although I haven't tested the PID temperature settings yet. Will update if anything out of the ordinary is discovered. Here is what I set it to. The mode spacing is perfect for me:
