While I like the summer and always liked late sunset, I currently wonder why? :nana:
I always liked winter more, for being cold and having snow and flashlights just added another reason to it.
Doing the beamshots of my direct-drive Moddoo Triple these short summer nights were a real PITA - time flies when fumbling with the exchangeable optics and then desperately trying to properly aim such a flood light (with the frosted optics) at a distant target and before you are done, darkness is gone.
If you buy something like the Triple and it's not your thing, it's best to let it go immediately
Of course. So let me rephrase: I can not understand how the Moddoo Triple can not be your thing.
I admit that I am more into flood, but if it was a mad thrower, I might have never bought it in the first place, but if I did, I am sure I would enjoy it.
And as such I agree with you, that the M2-50 is quite tempting, too. At least if there will be a factory HA or even better complete M2 turnkey option.
As a small lights collector, over 1.000 Lumen out of 2x123 size was a dream until Tom came with these two powermonsters! lovecpf
As a flashlight user, I enjoy this dream even more. Always used my 24W Xenide with its diffuser 90% of the time and now I have about the same amount of light instant on in a conveniently small package. :twothumbs:
The V3 bursts this bubble a bit, 2 cells being much less convenient and the 2x16340 IMR option not being practical (as they are run down way too low before you have a chance to notice), it ends up actually being a larger 2x18500 light.
