Hopefully they will design the body near the head so that the side switch can be easily found due to the shape around the switch, compared with the rest of the round tube near the base of the head. Make it obvious where the side switch is.

I'd like to go out for some beamshots.
Unfortunately, the light has been stuck and can't be moved since 4am this morning.

sometimes you have to gamble.
After 33.5 hours at mid mode I decided it was time to move the light to see how much was left, since the battery indicator was still showing _batteries not close to discharge_. They were around 3.7 volts, so I was only halfway.
So for this light enought runtime plots.


This light?
Let's give it a name

For all you who ask the size of the head, is this the measure you wanted?

A 2 inch tube, so a 4x18650 light? One large reflector, and I'm guessing the size of the largest part of the reflector will be around 3.5 inches?

Prime candidate for a power boost with VNX2 I'd say.

Preliminar output testing complete. Limited to consistent output modes (no moonlight or low level) because of the high threshold.


Moonlight: not measured
Low: not measured
Mid: 83
High1: 626
High2: 1628
Turbo: 2469

Hmmm, very nice output, now I wonder how much cd that thing puts out. And what kind of hit my wallet is going to take, lol.
