There are 2 places I know that have these. Intl-outdoor makes them... And there's a dealer in the U.S. That will also sell them - Mtnelectronics... Intl-outdoor has suspended sales until they get their current orders out the door... Mtnelectronics hasn't even got their first shipment yet. So I guess you'll have to wait around. The worst part is having it for a few days and now not being able to buy it. Looks like it'll be some time before I'll be able to buy one.

best price is if you go back in time when they were $20 cheaper.

I hear ya. I was offered a 10% discount for the review, so now that the price has increased I'll still be paying more than the original price. That sucks.

Other companies just let you keep the light after review.

Must be a cost-cutting measure:-(

Than't really Cheap.

Love your video reviews! Liked your youtube video as well!

The thing about this light is, its only 159 (now 179) for 6000 lumens..
the problem is though, the UI.. its just not fun anymore.. overly complicated.

They should add a UI4.. On, start in Ultralow... CLICK low, CLICK medium, CLICK high, CLICK turbo. CLICK low, etc.....

Up until now they made high quality copper mounted LED's for hobbyists who modify LED lights. This is their first foray into a scratch build light... but it makes a lot of sense considering how well they're known for making high quality parts for LED flashlights.

The UI is widely programmable, isn't it possible to define it this way?

I suppose they wanted the user to have instant access to the groupset they needed..cycling modes gets tiresome In my opinion

I got mine btw. It is heavy! Not heavy for a flashlight heavy, this thing is a shade under paperweight grade heavy! Thankfully mine did not come as a paperweight. It is slightly dimmer overall than my mm15vn, outthrows my tm11, and has a decent tint. (Ever so slightly green in comparo to mm15vn). Anodizing is great, knurling is real and effective, and the body tube walls are THICK. The AR coating on the lens looks amberish in color. Only 1 problem is I haven't figured out how to turn off the indicator button

Great review with my kind of humor interspersed every now and then :thumbsup: Also very well spoken which was rather nice for a change considering 75% of the youtube contributors use aaahm, ahhhhm, ahhm for every third word and on top of it are coughing or even snorting throughout their disgusting videos ;)

Thanks :thumbsup:
Eric

PLUS 1000 to that! - They CANNOT finish a simple sentence without doing this.

A 10min video could be pared down to 6mins if only these guys would think ahead a little bit, and learn how to Speak!

I have actually had to quit watching some of them. - If I see their name, I just pass on by.

Sorry - But, it just makes me sick.

Five Stars for mhanlen!

Thanks,
-Chuck
