SL 3C Twin Task beam quality?

[Rebus]

I've been thinking of getting this light
but I would like to hear from some of you
about how the beams look for both modes.
I don't think I want it if all those leds
in the reflector create unusable beams.
What's it look like?

Why not get one and then you can tell us all about it!

Got one, I love it. Considering the reflector having 6 holes in it for the LED's, I think the Xenon beam is very good. Focusable to a degree. It's the brightest, longest lasting TT(LED's only, the 2D Xenon has longer, dimmer run time),I like the form factor (don't like fat D lights), the quality is superb.

The 3/6 LED choice is versatile, and has a useabliity way above the single LED lights, overdriven or not.

These Streamlights are the best value/quality lights I have ever seen. Period.

If any negative, none of the TT's focus to a VERY tight Scorpion/6P like spot; they focus to about twice the hot spot size as the before mentioned lights.

I also refer you to Quickbeams excellent assessment (with beam shots) here:

I have to agree with John...I especially like the 3 AA LS.

While you're at Quickbeams site, look in the reviews section for the runtime plot archive. The plots for the TT-3c are there.
