DETAILS MAN, WE NEED DETAILS! And more pics!

+

Teasers..
Build quality is top notch ET,, got the MT-G2 version (nuts looking emitter)
Tint is around 3C'ish, more yellow than red
Very deep parabolic reflector, surprisingly deep
using 3X unprotected UF 18650 cells (the Green ones from DX)

Low level is usable Low, I believe their 28lm, may even be a tad less.
Med, is a good around level
High is a full room sweeper
I'll go turbo tonight to get the full effect...:eek:

*The direct load of cells works great*

Switch feels of good quality & unit holds well in hand,,,, Fully impressed so far

So we begin the wait for the darkness to fall upon the land...make sure your camera batteries charged...don`t want any slip ups...

Hotspot profile during day on Med. ~~ f5.6 @ approx. 6.5'

photo looks 'ringy' ,, it's not in person





Edit:: curiosity was getting to me so I tested Turbo, it's not just bright, it's in a whole different category of 'Fiery Bright'
Really it's like emergency roadside lighting...
Strobe is almost hard to describe :bow: yikes!!

Awesome!! I can't wait for the night shots. Do you have any experience with the nitecore tm26? I don't know if its worth the extra money.

I cannot wait to hit my outside cats with 2400 lumens of strobe sneaking up in the middle of the night.

Trees are about 75' away
SX25L3 on Turbo, camera w/ no flash set on f3.5, no editing

Maybe my camera isn't the best for night, hopefully someone can get a better shot.

Awesome! I'm minutes away from bidding on a tm26? Do you think it's worth the extra money over the sx25l3? I don't mind spending the extra money I just want a short comparison on the two from personal experience.

Remember, comfort or uncomfortable in hand is never in the specs

Personally I really like the TM26 better and I think thats it's worth the extra money IMO, good luck in whatever you decide on.

I am almost convinced on this ET. My final question, how hot does it get? How long can it be held on high/turbo?

Would like to see the difference between the XM-L2 and MT-G2 in a video. :)
