I purchased this light about 1-2 months ago. I am very happy with it's performance but it's just not a light which I will be able to use in a practical manner. It is very floody and I prefer a light with more a central spot.
I was purchased from the thread here: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/279041
A yellow trit was installed in the handle and I will include 2x IMR16340 cells for a CONUS purchase. No cells included for international.
I need the funds at the moment and realize the original price was a bit on the high side for the mod. Looking to sell at $300 now $290 (SOLD) gift shipped 1st class with DC - for CC or purchase option add 4% for fees.
What I can say about this light is through conversations with Rush during the purchase the Ostar is not the tint bin as listed but is a slightly warmer, yet unknown, tint bin. I would say the color of the tint in the pictures in the link are pretty accurate (I think it is showing a bit green because the wall and door in the pictures are painted a light green).
On high the light does get very hot fast but the thermal shutdown does work properly and will prevenet an overheat. I find there is not too much difference between Low and Med - at 2 and 4 Watts drive, respectively, there is not going to be much output difference from an LED IMO and since it is floody it's hard to tell. But on High - WOW - what a wall of light!
For any collector out there looking for what will be a very unique Surefire mod to a long time to come - then this is for you.
As usual - first posted "I'll take it" wins.
Please feel free to PM me with any questions.
Thanks for looking.
