so-so machining/finish, using kroll switch (some units had epoxy sealing the switch, others didn't) - they subtly pushed me me out of their booth after pointing that out
Anyway... the "operator" is supposed to be a weapons light, the "operative" is more of a handheld light - the color options may attract some people, type II anodizing. I see the Operative (LuxV) as a "cheap" knock-off of the SF L4.
The L4 is one of the most interesting SF lights for me; I'll eventually get one, although I already have another 5W (U2). I'm curious, why do you find SF doesn't have anything interesting in the LuxV line? Is it looks, price, performance, reliability?
