Is just me or is low output a real bummer?

Meh - old version was too bright already. Needs a much lower low and a tail dual switch. A smaller lower lumen LED with a longer throw and better tint would be the way to go.

It's a search and rescue oriented light. A 450 lumen output allows a decent output with lots of runtime for those all nighter missions. And same goes for the cool tint.

Just ordered one of these. Pretty impressive specs. Will report back when I get it.

Nice. I'm pretty happy with my HL 5X. Let us know how you like it @md17

One night at work I used the HL4 on medium (600 lumens) to light up an excavation. Due to the frosted optic nobody was blinded but found it lit the approx 50' x 25' x 6' deep hole. It provided the needed amount of light while sipping the batteries. With the HL6 nearly that amount of light can be provided with way more run time.

So it appears that the SL-B48's are 21700's

I will definitely be getting at least 1 of these, as I've felt that the HL-5X's I have are in need of an upgrade, to accept 21700's
