Here it is again with the other lights I EDC, from top to bottom, the Lumintop L1C (my tiny thrower light), the venerable Quark AA w/14500, and my latest, the Sunwayman V10A w/14500. The Lumintop L1C even with just a little over 200 lumens will out-throw the V10A as this was designed with a much deeper reflector and an XPG R5 LED. The Quark AA with its OP reflector as well as the V10A's were made to be more of area light with more functional flood beam pattern for close up use.
I love the metal control ring of the V10A! Most lights should be like this!
If I had to nitpick, initial observations, I dont like the fact that you screw on the head in just a few turns, in my book, this would leave room for moisture/water to eventually seep in. Also, the boot has some scratched ano most likely due to the assembly of the light. If this was a commemorative/limited edition, i would be pissed right now!
Anyways, overall, I love the new V10A, with its ability to take regular AA's in case of emergencies.
Its always good to EDC lights of different cell types, you never know when emergencies can arise!
Road out!
