Got my MIIx yesterday. Top notch all the way though!. 3 Extra colored button caps; GITD yellow, orange, black & red/installed. 2 extra "O" rings. Wrist lanyard. Belt pouch. Very white & smooth beam. UI is easy to get a handle on after a few trys. After getting used to the 2 modes (general & advanced), I think they are both well thought out.
I'm really pleased. This will be my new EDC.

Mine shipped on the 14th. It took some extra time due to the weekend and President's day being on Monday.
Hang in there!

Does the MkIIx put out 150 lumens? Probably at the emitter. I can only compare mine to my Cree/Huntlight FT01XSE which is rated at 135 lumens.
With both lights using 3.7v cells, the Huntlight throws farther and appears brighter. But then it has a larger smooth reflector. My huntlight pulls 870 mA on high from a freshly charged 18650. My MkIIx pulls 1430 mA from a freshly charged 14500 at 100% output.
Both lights are capable of rediculously bright output. I've had the Huntlight for about a month and hardly use its highest level because it's just not necassary unless I want to be impressed.
Using a 14500, the MkIIx has more potential output at night than I really need. I don't think you will be disapointed.
BTW, I measured the current draw of every output level. Comparing the primary mode's 3 levels to the advanced mode's 10 levels, primary's Med, Low & High are running at 35%, 5% and 60%. I believe Emil thought this out very nicely. In primary, you have 3 useful light levels that won't run down the battery too quickly along with a tactical strobe at close to 100% output that in today's world could be helpfull in thwarting someones aggresion.
If you want 100% output which again is pulling more than 1.4 amps from a 700 mA/hr 14500, you just press the tail cap in primay low for 2 seconds and then release for advanced 100%. No instructions came with my light but it was pretty easy to get the hang of all of the functions.

dam! 1.4 amps! that is a lot! so in theory, since it is pushing the led harder, it would have more lumens.. that is, unless the reflector and lens makes such a difference. how did it compare to your huntlight in the ceiling bounce test?

Man, you guys keep talking about it and now I want one. I still love my Mk-II using a 14500 but the details about these lights are driving me crazy.
