Yeah, doing these reviews really is time consuming (as you well know with that impressive list of reviews you have 😀). Thank you again for the complements; I appreciate that. I think you, AardvarkSagus and I each brought certain things to the table which benefited the readers, and like you said, it makes it easier on us :thumbsup: You and Aardvark both went into more written detail (as well as other key things) than I did, which makes my day because that's one of my weak points LOL.....

All and all, I think people can read all three of our reviews and know almost every answer to every question (other than price 😀) they might have by the time they're done reading :twothumbs. We all three did an excellent job, and hopefully 4sevens will send big brother to each of us so we can do it all over again 😀. I really enjoyed it, and I really enjoyed both of your reviews. Thanks guys :thumbsup:.

Hey, thanks for the compliments there. I'm definitely quite impressed with the level of detail you two go into and appreciate the information.

Also, the new pics with the smooth ring and bezel...now that's what I'm talking about. I definitely like it that way, and I'm normally a crenellated sort of guy!

I would assume the pressure switch would be an accessory that would be available that you would purchase separately from the light itself.

That's correct; if it were included, the price for the light would be higher and not every customer will be interested in a pressure switch.

Yes, all camera settings remained the same for every light. The focus was changed after the TK11 beamshot because the image looked horribly out of focus. That's the only setting that was changed, so you see it exactly how it was, but remember, these images are over exposed some, so they look brighter than they were at that distance. It's really hard to get an exact brightness, plus the exposure on my beamshots shows more detail IMO.

No that's all good, I was more comparing it to the Tiablo (with your handy switching gifs) than using the light in the picture as an indicator, so comparing the two, it looks like a good option for my light to buy for my Ride along with the cops... or to marry to my M4 when I finally buy one.

Though how can they offer a blue boot and not GITD? *hint hint*

It would be nice if they would offer GITD in the future. That would be a nice touch, and I've always wanted one for my Quarks, but haven't found one that would work correctly. Mostly, I like a loud colored button on a light; it's just appealing to me.
