Hello, fellow flashlight addicts...
I just received my new CMG Infinity LED light today. It's my first LED light and so far, I'm pretty impressed...
I had a couple of questions...I did read the old CMG Infinity threads first. The one I got is laser-etched "U.S. GOVERNMENT" between the knurled grip parts. In fact, that's one reason I got this one -- to be different.
Does anyone know anything about these? (This specific application, I mean. Were they prototypes for some branch of the armed forces?)
Some folks have commented on the low output of the LED. Mine is white with a sort of blue cast to it. I figure if this was marketed toward the military, the lower output would be better for several reasons.
1) Less loss of night adaptation while still able to differentiate colors.
2) Battery lasts longer.
3) The bad guys can't see you as easily as if you're using a white Photon...
I think I want to get one in red now. They look like they would be great for map reading.
Any ideas on the Government runs of these? How long ago were they? Has anyone else heard about it? I did a search on here and didn't see any other threads about it...
Thanks for any info!
