Tired of the bling? Are you jaded already? :rolleyes: (Lol) j/k... :D
Am I missing anything? - Yeah - Every single one of those others you mentioned. (not actually 'missing' but I don't own 'em.)
This new SWM looks nice. :thumbsup:

Totally agree.
But it looks pretty good on the photo.
Very chunky.
Smaller than TCR1 Jetbeam but heavier.
Interesting concept.
Price is friendly.
Agree, having to go to a higher mode to access firefly is nuts since you use it usually once your eyes are adjusted to the dark.

Nice looking light! I had the aluminum M11R for a few weeks and it really is small light. As already mentioned the way to access the Firefly mode is just silly. Maybe if a nice set of Oakleys were included ;) The glassbreaker (good thing it´s optional) on such a short light is silly too. I´d like to see a video demonstrating it´s use. Rather dangerous than usefull I assume.

I've got lots of lights with moonlight right after off, and though I'm not certain of the UI I do like the look of this light and I'm really tempted to give it a go. I would definitely the glass breaker, I'd use it more like a scribe or a center punch ;) to start screws
So the designer of this light has a different logic of how flashlight should be controlled.
1. To access FireFly mode, the designer wants your iris to shrink up first so the FF mode will look REALLY low.
2. There is no way to access "high" mode aside from waiting for 3 min from Turbo?
3. Then, once you are after 3min and it dims to High mode, if you want to go back to Turbo, you have to turn off the light, let your iris open up and go back to Turbo (so now the Turbo looks really bright?).
4. It uses magnetic ring control but is not infinitely variable. I hope it has detents so you can feel your switch position rather than guessing by judging the brightness to determine your mode.
5. Is it a heat dissipation issue to keep the light at 300 lms because of so little metal?
6. I wonder how many fingers can be grabbing the light while still able to manipulate the control ring without fussing, with one hand. Light is 7.6cm and judging by the picture, control ring is about 1/3 way down. That leaves about 5cm (slightly less than 2 inches) between ring and end of light.
7. I can see the tail of the light to be a dirt collecting place, with or without the spike.

You may be absolutely right but still this light is too good looking and I want one! :cool:
Where did you find it?

Looks cool, but I don't like the level selection or ui.

The ui and levels are the deal breaker for me too. Pretty to look at and hold, not so great to use
