Its a nice light, a little larger than I thought it would be but, I like the tail clicker so its all good.
The light came in a bubble mailer, the box was crushed with typical post office handling, but the light itself was fine. I threaded the lanyard through the two holes (it was pretty tough, are you supposed to use both holes?) and the light was good to go. I like the little holster, even I probably won't use it for carry, the lens protection is appreciated.
The beam strength is several notches below the SL PP 4AA Lux, and several above my little photon with a new battery. The light has a just noticable green tinge which I was not expecting. Usually I find blue (as on the SL) - maybe I'll post a pic later and you can be the judge. It was not as green as my costco lux light, and I'd say the amount of light was about equal.
Even though its a nice light, I'm not sure where its going to go. Its size makes it a little awkward for a key chain light (might be going for an Arc AAA next) and its a little to big to edc in a (jeans) pocket. You don't need its smaller size for a car/around the house light, so I'm not sure where its use will be. Maybe when I'm travelling or have a bag with me. It just seems kind of limited. How do you guys carry yours? I know there are some key chain users but my keychain is at max jeans pocket comfort size.
Edit: I've been looking at the beam more closely and notice a weird phenomenon: right in the middle of the hotspot there is a circle of pure white, this is surronded by a ring of faint green and then a ring of faint violet. I'm not sure if my camera can capture it, but I'll try later. Is this weird?
