Received my stainless S Mini this morning. It is tiny. Makes m ZL SC5 and Sumwayman M11R appear huge. Great beam for short range work; certainly no thrower. Moonlight mode is +++. Tint is nice for a cool white...meaning white is what it is. Seems nice and solid. Very nicely finished.
Not sure that mine is going into Turbo at all on either a CR123a or AW RCR cell. Not noticing any obvious stepdown with the Mark I Eyeball. Sure gets hot after a couple of minutes, though. I do kinda question the need for 500 vs 300 lumens on a light that seems to me to be suited for short to modest ranges <50 ft. I'll take it out and about tonight through town & the woods and see what's what.
Might have to snag a neutral white S-Mini, or are those just in TI? Nothing against titanium, but a bit pricey. Maybe an S1A copper, just for the AA Eneloop/L91/ 14500 compatibility.
