It came in yesterday and after a night of playing with it here are my thoughts in order:
- Kind of heavy
- Shiny!
- Better lube up those threads
- Eneloops fit well
- How does this UI work?
- Oh that makes sense
- Nice warm tint
- Pretty good throw for such a shallow reflector and XML2
- Why won't it stick horizontally to metal stuff via the magnet?
- Wow! this UI is great!
- I think I need to recharge the batteries
I replaced a Fenix LD22 with this and a quick comparison is that the olight is better. It has a nice warm/cool ~4000k tint that gets lower as you switch to dimmer levels. I'd say it bottoms out at 3000k just from my eye but I found it rather nice compared to all my cool white tint lights.
The UI deserves a mention because the modes are really really well spaced, more so than any other light I have that doesn't have a variable control ring. With 3 brightness modes and a hidden moonlight and strobe I found that from lighting up a tree top to navigating a dark house without waking anyone up this light has the perfect brightness level.
The biggest downside is the Ti part because it's so pretty I don't want to use it and make it dirty or scratched. It's also fairly heavy compared to other 2AA Al lights, I can only assume it's because it is made of Ti but I don't have the Al version of this light so I can't say really.
I hope someone might find this useful and if not feel free to ask any questions about it and I'll try and answer what I can, I was really surprised how little information there is floating around about this light.
