It's finally here!

Ummm.. you can't just leave us with that!

Take that thing outta the box and lets see some pictures!!

I'd like a close up of the part that replaces the battery on the Minimus...please!

Also, Does it come with the battery cap that allows it to be converted to a Minimus?

 

[grnamin]

Not to worry. 🙂 I only have my iPhone at work to take the first pic. I'll take more unboxing pictures when I get home (with a more decent camera). The red plastic thing in the box (in picture) is a cap that contains the small battery tube with a spring to convert to a Minimus. Hmmmm... Maybe an unboxing video instead. 😀

OMG OMG OMG!!



Oh man...

Not good for the paypal finger.

Sweet video Greg, thanks for sharing. My minumus should be here tomorrow. Like I needed it, I just couldnt help myself.

I really dont have a use for a headlamp, but I am sure it will some in handy unloading the wifes 100's and 100's of pounds of Christmas decorations out of the attic. :sick2:

Thanks for the video Greg 🙂

You're welcome. 🙂

Note to self: Disconnect battery pack from the headband first before installing the Minimus conversion cap. Otherwise, you'll end up with a battery pack wire looking like a phone cord. 😀

Whoa! The Saint not only comes with the means of using 3 batteries instead of one, but it comes with a SureFire sticker!!! Man, I should have held out for the Saint instead of quickly getting the Minimus. :laughing:

Did anyone else receive their Saint yet. I preordered one from BatteryJunction.com and was curious to know. I think I have Saint fever and not swine flu.🤢

GOt my Minimus yesterday, I really like it! Tint is white, not cool at all, that was a suprise after what I read here. Also, no bright ring around the spill. This is a keeper! :twothumbs

Greg, thanks for the video:thumbsup:
So, uh, why are you hiding in a closet and whispering, and what light were you using?

 

[grnamin]

Thank you, Owen. 😀 I was in my garage. Sounds like my digital camera didn't pick up what I was saying well enough. I wasn't whispering. 😀 ...Or maybe I was trying to hide the fact that I got another flashlight from my wife. :naughty:

I've been using mine in my shop for those times when I need extra light for closeup work. I'm very happy with it for the most part and the infinite output switch is just awesome.

Output:

• High: 100 lumens
• Low: 1 lumen

Runtime:

• High Setting: 6 hours
• Low Setting: 144 hours

Weight: 9.4 ounces with batt. Batteries:
Three 123A lithiums (included) or two AA Alkalines (not included)
Made in USA


I wonder if the low is 1 lumens as people have said it seemed brighter. I would also like to see runtimes from CPF users with 2XAA. Also looks like it can be used without a battery pack just like the Minimus so it seems like a better deal. I wonder what LED is used for both? Anyways after it is out for a bit and all the Saint reviews are in this headlamp is on my want list. I just wish my cash = the want list. 😀

Received my saint Wednesday Nov, 11. From battery Junction:twothumbs. I liked the way it fits and rides nice on the head. Features and controls were fantastic. The prismatic halo thingy, sucks bad really bad actually! So is this it? Was this the finished product I paid for 10 months ago, and we all waited patiently and some not so patiently for? Really? Come-on surefire!:thumbsdow
