Re: Surefire Saint headlamp? (Part 2)
Did anyone else receive their Saint yet. I preordered one from BatteryJunction.com and was curious to know. I think I have Saint fever and not swine flu.

Re: Surefire Saint headlamp? (Part 2)
GOt my Minimus yesterday, I really like it! Tint is white, not cool at all, that was a suprise after what I read here. Also, no bright ring around the spill. This is a keeper!

Re: Surefire Saint headlamp? (Part 2)
Greg, thanks for the video 
So, uh, why are you hiding in a closet and whispering, and what light were you using?

Re: Surefire Saint headlamp? (Part 2)
Thank you, Owen.  I was in my garage. Sounds like my digital camera didn't pick up what I was saying well enough. I wasn't whispering. ...Or maybe I was trying to hide the fact that I got another flashlight from my wife.

Re: Surefire Saint headlamp? (Part 2)
I've been using mine in my shop for those times when I need extra light for closeup work. I'm very happy with it for the most part and the infinite output switch is just awesome.

I'll be placing my order with OpticsHQ soon. I'm in no rush though.

Re: Surefire Saint headlamp? (Part 2)
Output: - High: 100 lumens
- Low: 1 lumen
Runtime: - High Setting: 6 hours
- Low Setting: 144 hours
Weight: 9.4 ounces with batt. Batteries:
Three 123A lithiums (included) or two AA Alkalines (not included)
Made in USA
I wonder if the low is 1 lumens as people have said it seemed brighter. I would also like to see runtimes from CPF users with 2XAA. Also looks like it can be used without a battery pack just like the Minimus so it seems like a better deal. I wonder what LED is used for both? Anyways after it is out for a bit and all the Saint reviews are in this headlamp is on my want list. I just wish my cash = the want list.

Re: Surefire Saint headlamp? (Part 2)
Received my saint Wednesday Nov, 11. From battery Junction . I liked the way it fits and rides nice on the head. Features and controls were fantastic. The prismatic halo thingy, sucks bad really bad actually! So is this it? Was this the finished product I paid for 10 months ago, and we all waited patiently and some not so patiently for? Really? Come-on surefire!

Re: Surefire Saint headlamp? (Part 2)
Mine arrived last week but I only had a few minutes to try it, before the girl friend caught me. I had to rush to pack the car to head down to NC for indoor skydiving in a vertical wind tunnel. (much cooler than flashlights  )
Thank gosh the wind tunnel is so far away. I'd would seriously have no money for flashlights.

LOL!
Dave, when you get time off from the g/f and the wind tunnel, a review of the HS1 from an experienced caver such as yourself would be extremely useful - you cavers really put lights through their paces, and hard use must be what the HS1 is designed to tolerate.

Re: Surefire Saint headlamp? (Part 2)
So far I don't like the beam or prismatic artifacts so I will probably sell it without ever using it. It is unlikely I will put the HS1 through it paces.

Re: Surefire Saint headlamp? (Part 2)
It seems that occasionally these slip through with undesirable beams. I urge you to call SureFire and arrange to have it replaced.

Re: Surefire Saint headlamp? (Part 2)
Ups brought me my Saint tonight. This is the moment i've been waiting for along time. initial thought is comfortable, lighter than it looks and great beam for night hikes. There is a thin line of bright light that doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the beam. That thin beam aims at my feet when light is pointed forward. I still love the headlamp. Btw thanks Batteryjunction.com I received it one day after you shipped it. Great service again. Jim
