Full review with Lux, Graphs etc should be ready within 48h

Thank you Esthan, I am really looking forward for the complete review. I haven't been on CPF a while and I am surprised that you already have a Novatac light in hand, I thought they will start shipping later...

Assume that I come from the future then

Assume that I come from the future then

In that case, show us those 5W / 1000lm leds

How do you like the 120P's switch? How much travel/feedback does it have?

 

[WTH]

Is this the beam diffuser you're using?

If so, how does it fit? I don't know anything about beam diffusers but I like the idea a lot.

 

[Esthan]

Yes, it's that one - F04 Beamshaper for 1" Heads from SureFire.

A real must have for a HDS owner in the outdoors. (A wall of light comes from the business end after mounting the F04)

F04 with HDS on the lowest levels (lower than 1Lumen) is a perfect solution for closeup work and will not damage night vision that much.

As for the fit - fits perfectly. No problems at all. Get one, You will not be dissapointed.

Does the Novatac beam in your pictures seem a bit off-centered or maybe it's just a my impression? It seems that the left side of the beam is brighter then the right. Isn't it?

 

[Esthan]

It can be seen on the pics that the flashlights are on the left side. So, because of that angle it can seem off center.

But normalny under 90 degrees on the wall it is ok.

I'll post better beamshots later.

 

[dolbyyy]

Oh yes, I imagined that it should be due to the angle. And what about the color rendition compared to the A2? Do you think there is a noticeable difference?

 

[Esthan]

Dangerous question You ask

A2 gives better colors than NTac 120P. (IMO)

Nice flashlight (120P) & great pics!
Looking at the comparision pics, I like the (less lumens) incandescent colors better.
