Head and complete unit arrived. Whole lotta light--more than an Inova X5 in a tiny package that uses an AA. I like the beam pattern on the TXOK better than the Cree, which is pretty much just flood with no noticeable hot spot.
Thanks, 4sevens!
Gerber weighs 8oz w/ cells; Inova weighs a little over 4oz.
(Gerber is here so I weighed it; my XO is not here, but the X5 weighs
3.7oz and the XO is a little heavier, so that's a guesstimate).
X0 is brighter and has more throw. It's noticeably larger, weighs more, has shorter battery life, and the beam is too tight for my purposes. T2 has more comparable battery life, but again, a pretty tight beam. I haven't owned a T1.
Cheers!
No idea. I have 4 of them w/ green LEDs. I use them for nighttime trail runs, and have given them to several trail-running friends. They all love them--except that CR123s aren't that available in remote places. The beam pattern is perfect for running (not great throw, but good spread), and I...
I'm getting the bare Al body, and the head that had been set aside for stripping. I asked that it not actually be stripped, though. I bought a HA body to put it on. This is gonna be one expensive light for me.
Sorry to add to the confusion!
Any update on shipping the remaining lights? I don't mean to be impatient--I just can't help myself. ;-) I'm eager to try it on the trail: that burn curve looks wonderful.
Thanks much!

I've thought on it more, and if you haven't stripped it yet, please don't bother. I'll try to get a HA body to match the head--but I'll gladly take the bare Al body in the meanwhile.
Thanks much!

That's a tough call! I guess I'd rather the pieces match, although truth be told, I'd rather have HA all over than the bare Al, since it's for EDC.
Thanks again.
Forgive my inability to count, but if there are any left, I'd love to get one whole unit with a white TXOK (first choice) or green (second choice) LED. I assume that the spill is broader without the polished reflector?
If one is still available, please PM me with details about sending payment...
