This kind of thing has never been done before with the Beast II. It always seems like such a mystery light in many ways. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to post these great pictures Seery! I just makes me like the light even more than I already do.


Question though... Do the rubber bumpers come off easily are are they semi-permanent?

:thanks:

The end cap on rechargeable handle does not come off, the 123 battery handle cap unscrews. Mine is a little tough to get screwed on, but not that bad.
If I knew how to post pics, I would put some of my new beauty. Seery the pics are great, but for all you who have only seen pictures and not seen this thing in the wild, All I have to say is that pictures don't do it justice. It's unbelievable! Also you need to see some pictures to give it some scale, for example, the case / light / everything weighs about 40 pounds! I don't find the light uncomfortable to carry but the rechargeable handle is 1.7 inches square by my calipers. When I opened the cardboard box and took the case out, I was in disbelief, surely a flashlight isn't in here... when you open the case... well I nearly soiled myself....

Thanks guys for all the kind words.

They do not come off easily and as you stated "semi-permanent" is a good way to put it.

...the 123 battery handle cap unscrews. Mine is a little tough to get screwed on, but not that bad.

Congrats on your new Beast! It feels a little tough because it needs to be pushed over the
O-rings while at the same time it won't start threading until the springs are lined up with
the matching cylinder bores. A few times and you'll get the feel of it.

Quick question about the LED's mounted in the reflector: Would the UV output from the HID lamp end up killing them over time or are they safe from it? Bummer if the LED's got all frosted over when you needed them.:thinking:

I'm seeing 13 pics and the page had no trouble loading. Connection problem perhaps?

Yes, thank you very much for sharing, it's almost like I'm there in person. Though unfortunately.
