HOLY CRAP.
I am one of the "holy grail" GB folks, and I have been hesitant to try a 14500 in here after all of the horror stories ("does it work with them???" "does it have the SECRET MODE???" etc.).
Anyway, mine has the secret mode, so I figured WTH, let's try it.
Charged up one of the 14500s I bought from DX, measured the voltage (4.19...yikes!), put it in there and turned it on:
HOLY CRAP.
No, I don't have beamshots. It's almost 4 in the morning, no way I'm breaking out a camera, my wife would kill me, but seriously, this thing KILLS.
The low mode is almost too much to walk around the house with. The medium mode is more than I think I'll ever need. The strobe mode makes me think I might be having a seizure.
And the HIGH lights up my WHOLE FREAKING BACKYARD.
I don't care if I melt the thing down, that one moment was worth all of the money and waiting and everything.
God bless the CPF!
