I'm very encouraged by the possibilities this light represents! I REALLY like the appearance - sort of a Novatac meets EX10 meets Jil. Very clean and functional.
Particularly if they redesign the LF5XT bodies to be consistent with this new look they'll have a killer light. It seems to fix some of the issues that the LF5XT had including the losing connection when tailstanding, a really low low (an absolutely essential function for me...), an optional easier to use UI, no sharp bezel, clean design...
I hesitated on the LF5XT due to the appearance mostly - and the low not really being low enough.
This light may finally represent a light small enough and still functional enough to replace my Novatac as my preferred EDC - a light I love but for the too big for CR123 battery size (although it has nothing on an L1 in that regard!).
This one sure deserves this:
ETA: I took a look at the operation manual. I saw only one tweak I'd make to the UI - the compact user interface is pretty cool, but no memorty mode option. So either have one user selectable option in the compact mode, turn memory on or off, or in the full UI mode have one mode that is 3 mode toggle based (with memory option) rather than all of them being sequential mode switching.
