Dark! Dank! Murky! England.
Ok after a long wait I finely got a S2 from Neoseikan,it was a nightmare wait and I had a few when it arrived see the market place for details.anyway my first impressions are,the anno is just a tad thin in places IMO but to be fair we knew well in advance of any defects you might get with this light.Now how many manufacturers tell you that,this is a testament of Neoseikans honesty in my book kudos to him :twothumbs


ok here is the little fellow with his own sleeping bag,I'm glad he brought his own as I'm :shrug: at the moment.

Next the parts that make up the S2,note the body should not be unscrewed
mine did but i have discussed this already,this should serve as a warning to other S2 owners I suppose!

a comparison with regallight EDC and first gen D-mini

The knurling is very good IMO some may say it's a pocket shredder,I would recommend a holster for carry or put it in it's sleeping bag :D

This is the battery tube this screws over the driver so it would afford this some protection against splashes,this light is not dunkable IMO but I never take my lights in the bath with me,I would however say if you dropped it in a puddle I don't think there would be any harm done.

Ok a easy one the emitter is dead center.

you will note a o-ring missing in this shot,well I removed it as it was very thick I could not undo the tail without churning some skin off my palm.

Now some beam shots,note I do not like@1m wall shots but that is just me.so these are indoors about 14 feet away first a dark shot of what the lights will
light up.

First the S2 SMO installed

next S2 flood installed.

This one the regalight EDC OP installed,please note this is run on 1.5v alkaline batt.

The DBS note again the battery is not fully charged,so it is not full power but I think you will get some idea what the S2 can do.

So my conclusion is, this is a great little light IMO it is not perfect and I never once expected it to be, neo also never claimed it either.In short it does what it says on the package it lights up the dark has a great UI the machining is very good IMO threads are smooth as silk and it looks good up against any light out there.

If I think of any more I will update here thanks for looking and enjoy :D
[edit]If you are worried about carrying this in your pocket,
It has tail lock out so you could with no worry of the light turning on inadvertently!

That's some serious light output there! As I expected the Spartanian has some high level of lumens coming out the front. Thanks for the beamshots and review. :thumbsup:

+1.
Never realized that little light was so powerful.
Thanks for posting.
