Flashlight Enthusiast
Review in progress..
The review of the ACE-G, and A10-G will be very similar..as they both have almost exactly the same shape, but different emitters.
They will use the same outdoor beamshots..
The ACE-G review can be found here.
Hello Everyone, this will be my 3rd review. Wish me luck!
Up for review is a Tiablo A10-G!
You will be able to preorder the A10G from 4sevens, here.
For those of you that haven't heard of this light.. Here's a quick summary of light:
More information can be found in the threads linked below.
Light provided directly by Tiablo.
Background:
The Tiablo A10-G, released on the 4/2/09 here, is an upgrade of the previous version, released 12/4/08 here.
This flashlight is built as a thrower. Simple as that. It is made to throw as far as physically possible, while still having a reasonable size, even though the head is rather large. This "G" version is smaller than the original A10, as the brass battery sleeve has been removed (Sorry, I do not have the original version to compare). This light is made for use in universal gun mounts, having a standard 1" barrel. (according to Tiablo, the remote pressure switch will be made available in May).
Packaging pics:
The box is packaged in a paper sleeve with Tiablo's logo.
A10 Logo on box.. strange, the box makes no reference to the "G" line
Accessories:
Standard 1 page instruction manual, at least this one says A10G. The box also includes lanyard, warranty card(though mine is blank), 3 orings of varying size, a GITD tailcap, and a digital switch.
Pics of light:
Perfectly centered emitter!
There is a glow ring between the Glass and the Bezel.. good stuff!
Size comparison:
Beamshots:
to come soon.. sorry for the delay.
Outdoor Beamshots:
~90 Feet from fence.
Tiablo A10-G
Please note: I have done a bunch of updated outdoor beamshots in this thread here.
Initial impressions:
Opening the box, I find a light with flawless finishing, clear, crisp lettering, This light is big and hefty.
The light is nice as easy to grip, the knurling on the battery tube is awesome!.. But I would have liked a slightly longer battery tube.
This light is Solid… Tiablo didn't skimp out on materials here.
The beam is very ringy, having a SMO reflector for throw, though, I doubt the rings will be noticeable when spotting distant objects..
The threads on this light came rather dry to me.. oh well, nothing a bit of no-ox-id or silicone oil can't fix.
All in all, I can't find myself carrying this on me often.... although.. it does somewhat it in my pocket :laughing:
Now it just needs to get dark quick! :sick2:
Concluding Thoughts:
Hmm.. this light is very nicely built and all.. but I think I'll be sticking with my A9 w/aspheric for now.
then again.. that knurling IS very very nice....
decisions.. decisions..
but.. if an aspheric for the A10G comes out.. that'll be a beast!. the huge head will allow for a much bigger lens...
Post any requests!!
Come on guys! Comments are needed, as I develop my review style.
