I've accumulated about a half dozen lights in the last couple years, but they have all been mostly pocket lights and with the exception of a Tri-EDC, nothing over 400 lumens and nothing with any real strong throw ability. That changed yesterday when I got my new Rofis TR51 in the mail. I won't do a review as there are many other individuals here with far more skill in that department than I, however I will give some impressions. I unboxed it last night and immediately put 4 CR123's in it. I'll be using 2 18650's later, but as I just bought 2 of those as well, they weren't charged up. Went out to my 3rd floor balcony (apartment building) and turned it on. Wow! It is a blazer and I was amazed how far I could reach out. I was lighting up trees and the sides of building 2 blocks away easily. Very well built and it feels really good in the hand, and I'm really much liking the forward mode selector button. My only complaint would have to be with the case as it isn't the most well thought out design, but that is a minor quibble and one that should be easily rectified by replacing with something more protective and sturdy. All in all though, I couldn't be happier with the purchase.
Well it's official, I'm in awe... Just received the Rofis TR51

I don't have the strong ability to go "white wall hunting" in my apartment as my walls are a creamy tan color. Seems to be neutral with a small touch of warm to me from what I can tell. I have a Quark 123*2 that does have a bit of a green tinge to it on the lower levels, and I can say I am not seeing that with this light. Not as warm as my Tri-EDC which is setup for a neutral warm which seems to lean a bit more to warm though. I have absolutely no complaints with the beam or the tint.
I am glad that you like your purchase. I too like my Rofis TR51, it is an excellent alternative to the Fenix TK35 and the fit and finish is a little nicer too. I suspect these were manufactured in the same factory. It throws well and I consider this to be an excellent purchase, along with my Sunwayman T40CS U2 which arrived the same day. The tint on my unit is a little on the warm side, not 5000k colour temperature, but not quite cool white.
I agree that the holster isn't very good. I will have to use another one. Mine is well regulated and 30k Lux is impressive.
