The sample has been sent to WBP, he also ordered some fresh 18650 cells from lighthound. I hope we can see the review quite soon.

Wow, looks like a great design... like the look of the fins and the switching mechanism is very cool.

Just curious... I noticed the lower body is different colour from the bezel and head as well as the polished end-cap. I personally like the same ano treatment throughout the entire light but just wondering if this is just a cosmetic consideration? ie. end-cap and bezel are both polished?

Btw, do you have runtimes? And, like others, looking forward to seeing this in production... :popcorn:

The Bezel and tailcap is made of Stainless Steel.
That's why they look different.
The runtime will be tested by wbp with some new cells.

I can't wait to hear more about this one in practice. I love the use of SS on it too. Should make it a much more robust light overall.

Neoseiken,

To your eyes, which one has more throw between the Legion II and the M1X? How about brightness from say a ceiling bounce?

BTW, nice features and build quality.;)

Hi. I am not sure about the throw winner.
1- There is a donut hole in L2's beam, so it's harder to find the brightest area.
2- The area I live is too bright, so that I can not find the hotspot at long distance.
3- The tints are different.
4- The lumens value will be tested by wbp. I can say L2 is definitely brighter.

Battery gauge?

Turn on the light, then turn the control ring to left (right in left-handed version), hold. Then the light will start flashing at about 2hz. flashing for 6 times means ultra fresh, 5 means fresh, 4&3 means normal, and 2 means low.

Hi Neo I see it has SMO reflector installed do you think the hole can be reduced with a OP reflector? just a thought.I mean using OP is not going to reduce throw by much and considering the L2 was not designed for just throw maybe the beam pattern will be more appealing :shrug:

Yes. OP is also there, but this time, I am not sure how many of them are available.

Maybe offer the option to buy separate if available?

Yes. If it comes in time, people can order with the light. (not enough for everyone)

So Neo, do you accept orders? Could you PM to me a quote included EMS shipping? Thanks

Would be nice if this light would not require a holder, but that the tube has milled-slots for the 3x18650....

Tempting......
:popcorn:

That is exactly the way these are layed out. No holder at all. Just 3 locations in the tube. Very high quality.
