How is the UV compared to the Nitecore CU6?
Or in general?
Lateck,
Or in general?
Lateck,
Great review- lots of info.
One question, to detect PWM, I usually shake the light as fast as possible while looking at the head, or sweeping my arm quickly while looking at the reflection in a mirror or a window. I couldn't see any of the strobe effect while almost dislocating my arm. How did you spot the PWM?
Nice light for my purposes here in a forest where I can only see les than 100 yards into the trees. I,too love the control ring.
I'm not indiglo but as OP I assume you don't mind me replying!Howdy iNDiGLo,
hey, how did you know I had a ceiling fan? Anyway I tried it with the various fans in our house at all of their various speeds, and still saw no strobing or PWM. I can usually detect it by doing the shaking thing or swinging it in front of a mirror or window, but I get a steady light when I do that. My serial number is 7062188950074. Perhaps they changed the software or something. I'm not complaining - just curious. I really like the light, it's my first Nitecore product, and I just ordered a headlamp for a Christmas gift, and am eyeing another light for myself. I have all the lights I need and can use, and I thought I was a recovering flashaholic until a buddy of mine dangled the Nitecore name in an email and I suffered an ongoing relapse! I'm hopeless!

Thanks! Instruments are noted at the end of the review (post 1).Thanks for this excellent review. Could you tell me how you measure the output power? (What instruments you use?)
Would someone people offer a subjective opinion on the throw of the SRT9 compared to the SRT7GT? At ~100-200 yards or meters, is the beam width significantly wider on the SRT9? Is the intensity within the hot spot incrementally or significantly more? While overall light output of the SRT9 is greater, the orange peel reflector and head would seem to provide a slightly wider and more even bream rather than significantly brighter at distance or greater distance. I already have an SRT7GT, so when would you reach for the SRT9 instead of the SRT7GT? Is there a significant enough difference that it's worth having both? And yes, I know the answer is that more lights is always better! If the SRT9 had significantly more throw, it would be a no-brainer for me to add to my collection, but the SRT9 doesn't seem different enough.
