Great Rasher will test the 4000K Turbo for us. If u want go ahead and torture test it. If it fail no charge on the light.
Well, I'll gladly do some drop tests on to lightly-padded board, water test, freezer test, etc., but I'm not going to throw it on a sidewalk - I do plan to actually use it afterward!
But happy to carry it constantly for a few weeks, do the above, then do runtime observations after it's broken in. Should be interesting!
Update:
So, I've been carrying this around daily for a while, and have done multiple drops from waist height on to lightly carpeted floor with light at various angles. No ill effects so far, not a mark on the light. Freezer and water tests were passed with flying colors (not surprised).
I really like the beam shape and tint with Vinh's 4000k option. Things at throw distance really pop, colors are closer to reality than my cooler tint lights.
I love the interface for a "tactical" use. There is no question what mode I'm going to invoke when I pick the press I'm going to use. Certainly my favorite "tactical" interface of my lights that are labeled as such.
The rubberized body makes for easy grip and hold: this light will not fall from my hand even with a fairly relaxed grip. Light feels very well built.
Output is good. I have not metered it yet (that's planned after torture testing), but to my eyes step-down when walking in cool night seems gradual and minimal.
So far, so very good. I'm impressed at the value here.
