My Efest IMR 10440 arrived. Overall my verdict is very positive, the Stainless Steel K18 is quite high quality for a production light. Good value, money well spent. Finish feels higher-end, not cheap in the least.
One minor quibble is the time it takes to go from locked out to on, with the double-press and then long press. I don't have a better solution to this though, it's a well engineered UI.
Tail Standing might be nice for a Rev 2. Although I have enough lights sitting around that tail stand already.
Other than those minor quibbles, this is probably about my fave 1xAAA size light I've owned. One hand use is awesome with the front clicky, while keeping a short enough length to make the K18 comfortable on a keychain, as opposed to some 1xAAA tail clicky's that are too long for my tastes.
Nice work, Ultratac!
