Pretty well put together video. The headlamp kit is a home run if it holds up. I like the idea of it being backwards compatible with the mini series.

Intriguing green-tinted reflectors. I wonder of that is to compensate for the color separation problem with XP-G/XM-L emitters?

Its no reflector _at all_. Like said, its just a GitD surface.

The light actually uses a lens to demagnify the LED to create a homogeneous, wide angled flood ( at least its little sister did). So the "reflector" is much more shallow (and blocking much less light) than it might look like.

Like the concept.

Not sure if I like the UI. But I'm guessing the 270 degree twist was the only way to get the light as small as it is. Probably not a whole lot of circuitry in it. I'm guessing it has just a regulation circuit but no logic circuit. Twisting the head probably just causes manual switches to make contact, which switches between low & high.

Wish it had a mid-level 30-50 lumen for 6-8 hours. .

Wish they drove it higher than 110 lumens. With it being so small I assume they were worried about heat buildup, but it would be nice if they put in a large step-down to around 50% like they did with their new burst lights.

I believe these are stainless steel which doesn't conduct heat well. Some people are quite annoyed by a large step-down so I think it was a reasonable choice. Perhaps it will be a bit brighter on lithium ion?

Excited about the new 4Sevens Atom and 360 headlamp. Preordered, can't wait!

Hmmm. Did not realize the light was a 2 level twistie. Kind of like a poor man's Nautilus. This does interest me. The levels are not the greatest but might be tolerable in the all flood configuration. The headlamp kit looks good, a lot better than the prism setup.

I got mine at Unique Ti . It's a great AAA pocket light and the magnet is useful. Threads are crunchy but easily fixed with silicon. Carried it a month and would recommend it.

Assuming you are referring to the Atom A0, a Ti version of the P0 SS, I too find the threads crunchy and SuperLube synthetic did not help. What did you put on your threads to smooth it out? Thanks.

I see myself sending money to4sevens in a near future if they can do the same light, in CR2 format, titanium body and an high CRI emitter...

I also think so!

A CR2 format of this light and with a titanium or aluminium body would be a great keychain light. If 4Sevens could include a moonlight mode as well, this light would be outstanding! :)

I'm curious about the AA version. I like the progressive twist feature. Would love to have the lower levels of the AAA model though.

Seems like it would make a good keychain light, doesn't it? The runtime on 110 lumens is pretty good at 3.5 hours, much better than a AAA light.:thinking:

Yeah, certainly my wish-list would be
1) a sublumen mode
2) a warmer/high CRI emitter
3) an XML for longer runtimes.

Maybe they can introduce some of these on the AA model.

But that didn't stop me from pre-ordering a 123 model!

I'd also want a sub-lumen "moonlight" mode... but wouldn't that have the same effect as the 6-lumens mode? Though, I guess for numbers' sake, we are talking about a 0-6 point difference in lumens. (Regardless, I just use my smartphone for any of my "moonlight" mode needs.)

No, it wouldn't. 6 lumens would be too bright if you want to preserve your night vision.
