Two thumbs up!
Got it from REI for $20. Has the switch, reflector and a little Luxeon 1w bipin drop-in.
Output is similar to my Civictor on alkies--quite good.
Color is nice and white; beam is like the S017 reflector (large-ish bright spot, with very bright, clean spill).
The switch is positively cool. It feels solid, and has a solid click.
It has the little red "find me flasher," which blinks about every 3 seconds.
The UI reminds me of the Palight selector: you click rapidly to cycle through high, medium, low, slow flash and fast flash. Pause at whatever level you like.
The next click, after a pause, turns the light off.
In the fist three settings (H/M/L), it is also in timer mode, which turns the light off at 15 minutes. This is primarily why I bought it--for my 2.5yr old niece.
At about 13.5 minutes, it executes a series of warning flashes over a few seconds, to let you know it is about to go out.
It does this three or four times, then turns off.
It also works with the low-output 3x5mm led module.
Unlike others, I haven't noticed any drop in output, BUT, I haven't tried it with the Badboy 400's or Madmax Lite.
I am a bit nervous about frying the switch.
In all, I think this setup is sweet!
