Romisen RC-C8 R2 @ shiningbeam

[sol-leks]

This seems interesting. They recently released an R4 version of the RC-29 and I assumed they would eventually release R4 or R5 versions of the RC-C6 and RC-C8 but here comes along an R2 version. It seems deliberate, and I am hoping it is to deal with the issues people have had with this light, namely that the lens wasn't properly tailored to the LED(from what I understand). I know the R2 is famous for its small die and putting out a nice tight hotspot, so I wonder if this will improve the rc-c8's performance.

I don't know why it has a strobe now though.....blech.

Ill bet its better surface brightness would allow it to throw a lot better.

Nice to see this light back in stock because it really is a great all-purpose light.
