Early Rebel equipped flashlights recently shipped, more new models are shipping this week, and others (L0D) aren't out yet. Some people are waiting to place orders, some are waiting for orders to arrive (myself included), and a lucky few already have them. For you lucky ones, what's it like in your hands? Other threads have focused on the naked LED itself or technical aspects, I'm wondering more about owner experience. Any observations would be great, here are a few ideas:
What model do you have?
What manual did it come with and does it describe time limits on Turbo mode?
What was the appeal of this specific model (size/output/simplicity)?
Did you get it for a specific role or because you had to have it?
How are the new parts (reflectors/filters/diffusers)?
If there's a choice, what batteries do you plan to run (alkaline/NiMH/NiMH LSD/lithium)?
How is it at throwing light (flood/spot/spill/quality)?
Are the new bodies (L2T 2.0) improved (grip/finish)?
If you've seen Cree's, do current Cree versions still have play?
If you have a Rebel80 and a Rebel100, can you see a difference?
First impressions, might this be your favorite new bulb/light?
And of course, how does it compare to non Rebel's (beamshots, etc)
:thanks:
