Previous post edited with some beamshots, note that the light is actually a beautiful neutral colour (dedoming an LED reduces colour temp by as much as 1000K) and within that intensely bright hotspot is nearly 1000 lumens!!! Ma_sha measured his gen 2 Maxabeam at 1.7 million lux so with an XPG2 or XPE2 it will almost be a Maxabeam that fits in your pocket!
The battery carrier is a tad bit cheap feeling but resistance is not compromised as Markus has solder on copper to replace the springs, changing 4 NiMh AA batteries is a little bit of a fuss but as i understand 1 li-on has too low of a voltage to maintain proper regulation with the buck circuit. If you're on the fence about this light, seriously BUY IT!!! It's really that good. Well worth the two month wait but i mean people have been waiting for 5 months with the DEFT-X...
