Well, not many many maybe, but certainly at least three more than anyone else owns at this time (except for the makers of course).
Two more examples of this Lambda/ArcMania creation showed up on my doorstep recently and I finally had the time to get them all up close and personal with each other:
Those tiny rings on them are the cute lil' steel keychain loops that come with each one.
Now here's some food for thought, the original prototype I received has an SE, the two new ones are HDs, all with their tiny reflectors expertly cut to make the most of the beam emission patterns of the two different Luxeon styles:
Both new examples feature much higher-binned emitters, with the middle one using a Q4G HD, and the one on the right sporting - now you may want to sit down for this one - an extremely rare, never-before-seen-by-yours-truly R4H HD!!! Hoo boy!
And to graphically illustrate the Bin Code differences, here are the beamshots:
Notice how pure white the HDs are when compared to the original proto, and how much brighter the "R" Luxeon's beam is than even the "Q" Luxeon. Also due to the way HD's seem to take to reflector use, both new ones are actually able to throw a very real and useful "spot" beam, something that I personally have never known to be possible in a true keychain-class light.
Finally, luxmeter readings on this particular night:
Original Micro - 60 lux
Q4G Micro - 90 lux
R4H Micro - 101 lux
Did I mention the line forms HERE ?
