Hey everyone. XTAR finally came through! I'm posting this review to flashlights too since it isn't really a "flashlight" and it isn't totally a lantern or signaling light.
What it does have are five LED emitters and light comes out. :laughing: I really like how multi-purpose it is.

Moon RC2 Specs:
A great lantern/light overall. One thing I didn't say in the video is that I think the mode changing is a little weird. It starts in the "low" 30 lumen mode which is good, but then goes to high, then mid, then "moonlight". You have to cycle though ALL the modes to turn it off and honestly I think it should start in the lowest and just go all the way to the highest mode. Also there is a strobe mode, but it doesn't have a slower blinking mode which is kind of strange for a light like this. I think they either should have changed out the strobe for a blinking "beacon" mode or put in several blinking/strobe modes. The strobe mode is super bright and noticeable, but is probably overkill 95 percent of the time for a friendly beacon type light like this. I say this because from using this light even the 3 lumen mode makes you very visible. Therefore the 120 lumen fast strobe mode is almost disorienting up close. I guess it would work on the back of a bike, but it might be too distracting even for other motorists. It's not a huge deal overall.
