Your preferred AAA Tis: Killer, Sapphire or Mako?

[Zeruel]

Please share your views and preferences (with reasons) on Photofanatic's Killer, the new McGizmo/Arc's Sapphire and Mako, I'm at a lost if I'm to choose since all 3 are fantastic in function and looks. Thanks.

You might want to wait until the Sapphire is actually released/someone has one..

For years I and many others have been asking and wanting a Ti AAA light and now we have choices.........

I would like one with a neutral to warm tint, doing my research now and I'm

2 days ago I discovered the Tis Killer, today I found out about the Sapphire and 10 min ago I came across the Maco thread........They all kick A$$

I can't answer your question at this moment, just like you I am Lost, the best part is, I'm excited as well :twothumbs

My premature preference would be the one driven at spec It also happens to be the one I have already paid for.Something new:devil:.

Mako most definitely.

The others are great, but the primary runtimes, dual mode and tailstanding ability at a great price made it a clear choice for me.

 

[nfetterly]

Makos were pre-order (I ordered one, as all my other items by Enrique are fantastic) - so i will have one in a few weeks.

I will probably get the Sapphire.

I may get the Killer. I keep looking at it.

But only one of each.

There is also another Ti AAA light available from Peak, the Baltic Sea Ti.

The Mako wins for me... but I'm still picking up a Sapphire.

 

[coyote]

when i finally have all three in hand, maybe then i can chose my favorite one... but i doubt it!

 

[GarageBoy]

Arc DS is already too bright for me, so Mako it is

I have had an alum Draco on my keychain for several years and have Mako ordered. Mako may end up, as a pocket EDC, with two levels and tailstand (regulated). Am interested in seeing McGizmo's, as his lights are always top notch....it's nice to have choices!

Can't wait to see a review or comparison or shootout whatever of:

Mako
Sapphire
Killer
Arc-AAA
E01
L0D CE Q4
LD01 Q5
Peaks
Draco + AAA Tube

and whatever else! Such great AAA options now, such an underrated niche format.

Mako
Sapphire
Killer
Arc-AAA

Peaks

I shortened your list to the same kind of emitter, Im also interested in a comparative review.

The splash series for the killer(?) looked awesome. :thumbsup:

If I had the money I would've bought one. :mecry:

 

[xcel730]

I haven't yet purchased the Mako, but between Killer and Ti Sapphire ... it's a tough choice. Both scores very highly in my book in terms of physical look, but I would have to say Ti Sapphire. I love the flood beam of the Ti Sapphire so much. :thumbsup:

The Ti Killer AAA looks the prettiest IMO. It also has solid construction and feels like it could take a serious beating. I also know that my Killer makes a Killer battery vampire, although I don't have any other high quality AAA led lights to compare it to. I'd wait to choose, since most of the alternatives have not yet been released.
