I just added an FM34 Surefire beamshaper to my Gladius- WOW!!! Completely changes the nature of the beast. I don't have a lot of time to play tonight (brought work home with me) but I had to try it out in the backyard, especially as it is a bit foggy and rainy.
This beamshaper completely changes the light pattern from a tight throw and a decent corona to a complete wall of light. The new pattern is definitely brighter than the normal corona, but there is no throw. It floods the backyard with pure white light.
This will be a great addition when hiking and walking the dog. But when I want/need throw, it is there in moments. It is as if the flashlight has two distinct personalities: a great thrower and flood, whenever either personality is needed.
Uh, but it looks like a sci-fi implement! I have to say it blends well with the black HA finish. :huh:
