Not sure if you'll be able to tell what emitter is in my T1A from my inept ability in taking photos. Can't figure out the macro setting on my camera! But here the shots I took;
I just received the light, messed with it for awhile then installed it on my key ring, so we'll see how it goes. However, my first impression on the T1A is I like the size of the light and the rotating UI is very smooth (has a nice specific (?) detent in the Rotary).
The tint on my T1A has a light green (not an angry green) tint to it's spill, but again as I mentioned earlier, the tint is not my main concern with this light, build, and it's UI is. However, I am glad that it's not an angry green! … lol …or it may be sent out for a mod, but I'm glad it's not!
In regards if it's a 70 Lumen or the newer/latest 100 Lumen T1A, is again a non issue since I'll be using the light in it's lower to medium output selections, but found that the highest output on this T1A is more then sufficient for this lights intended purpose.
I work throughout the night, every night while on contract so my other EDC that's always on my belt when the sun sets is my HDS Rotary (and as soon as the dogs and I are working, I also have a longer distance light on me as well. Which at this time is either my HD XML on a MD2 body or LX-Tu, I mean LX2). Don't think I need to say more on the practicality of Lumens/distance for my needs.
Btw as mentioned your absolutely right, the T1A is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, when in hand it has a quality feel to it, has just the right amount of weight and fits right in with my keys! In other words, it already has me in the mind set that this light will be a keeper.
The box say's that it's a 70 lumen, without any other notifications of it being the 100 Lumen model.
Back to the OP's question "Is It Still Worth It"? Time will tell, but I'm also confident in saying that I wish I bought this light for my key ring before spending (as well as wasting) money on the lights I've purchased before this light! One such light btw, never made it on my key ring, but is presently sleeping with the fishes somewhere in a landfill in the Sonoran Desert!
