Ok, here are some quick shots @ 5m (exposure locked and set on AWB).

Re: It has arrived!!

Trust me, I've tried but the optic is frosted on this one, you simply won't be able to see through unlike the E2DL. I'll try to take some macros for you later in case you still want to give it a shot.

curses, foiled yet again!
are at least 4 dies discernible?

I also tell by pcb shape, colors visible through the optic, etc :nana:
 
very tight n bright,

im guessing its an sst-90


how many pull ups can you do ?
 
Wow, that hotspot is ridiculous!!! And it's sooo beautiful!!!

I'm not buying anything else until I get my hands on one of these bad boys!!!

Craig, no dies discernible but after searching around a bit, I finally found a number (2008? or 2009?):

And also what looks to be the 4 distinct mounting legs of a MC-E:

Tight and bright has more to do with the optics and no, not SST-90, see above (also Matt @ BatyJunc had mentioned it was a 4 die LED). As for pull ups, 20ish (with rest in between). Have a long ways to go to get fit... :shakehead
 
Definitely way more then 400 OTF lumens and how the heck did they get that intense hotspot:eek:

i thought SF was using 4 individual LEDs? but from this thread its a quad-die LED. MC-E maybe? warm tint option hopefully??? my interest in this light is.....:popcorn:

great pics!
 
Re: It has arrived!!

In initial playing around and informal testing w/light meter, funny that it's brighter on 2 x AW17500 vs. 3 x primaries in spite the voltage difference (8.4v vs. 9.75v).

thank you Tim for the info! it probably is a MC-E :)
as for that voltage difference -- the 123s would probably go around 2.2 V under load, giving you 6.6V..

with the liions, you get roughly 3.7 under load, which is.. 7.4!
 
I was in line for one of these until I got my MD3 Wildcat...I'd still be interested in seeing comparisons of OTF lumens, runtime and beam vs. the Wildcat (gen 2).

Definitely way more then 400 OTF lumens and how the heck did they get that intense hotspot

Isn't that the nature of the TIR?
 
Thanks for the review! M3LT best light of 2010 :D I like the olive color of the body. The TIR is on roid-rage, that "low" looks like the high of E2DL!!! I hope we get some good outdoor beamshots.
