So, has anyone gotten their Tri-V2 yet? I'm in a holding pattern while Dave makes the SWGG and would love to hear initial feedback and a comparison to the original Tri-V.
Buy now. Sell others later.Dang it, you guys kill me. I am seriously considering a huge sell off to get me one. :naughty:

No can do brother! 3.5 year old, 8 month old, pay cut, etc.
Blackfly observed that the flood and reflector blended better in V2. Also the lockout feature was an improvement.
I personally do not understand the lockout thing. Seems like in V1, the lockout feature only allowed 20secs usage at a time. How is the V2 an improvement?
Would someone care to explain. Thanks
I have been thinking of selling my Tri-V to get the newer version, but I can't seem to justify it right now. Main reason I want to change is because I want the swgg option and the newer more efficient stfu board
With the new lockout mode you don't get the 20 seconds of use of the reflector. The light won't activate at all with the lock out mode engaged. But it is easier to quickly engage or disengage one handed. I like it.
So it is like a safety feature that prevents accidental activation of the light. How do you activate and deactivate this feature. Do you need to powerup 2 to activate/deactivate?
I knew you were going to enter this thread soon PSM. I'm on the same boat, no kiddos but I've been unemployed for over a year.
You do a PU2 to turn on the feature just like with the V1. But then to enter, or exit, lockout mode you quickly spin the knob all the way to position 6 & back again. This is different than with the V1. The old lockout mode was done by quickly toggling the switch back & forth 3 times. The new way can be done faster & is easier to do one handed.
I hope you find work soon, may we both ultimately end up with a Tri-V2!!
Actually I found a job this week! Yes, one day we'll both have the holy grail of flashlights. :twothumbs
