Bought one of these on a whim from an online retailer that ran a substantial discount.
I was drawn by the digicam anodizing (yes I'm that guy ), and the fact that I don't have an LED mag and wanted a 2 AA light for my grab bag.
Received it now and I'm underwhelmed. The anodizing is not great at all. The lines blur and there is a place where the anodizing is missing.
I'm not confident that it would stand to wear at all, but I bought it with that thought beforehand, so it's fine.
The beam is not bad. I looked at beam shots before buying. I expected more flood-to-focus as per my old incandescent minimag, but I'll test it tonight to see properly.
The threads are bone dry.
I guess I got used to enthusiast-level lights. This is probably not a bad light (and I like the look), but I wasn't gleeful like with opening a higher-end light.
