Tiablo A9 throw compare with mag

jzmtl · Jul 20, 2008

Compare to D mag focused into tightest spot, which has a smaller hotspot?

Also, is it a reverse or forward clicky, is the mode switching like those on fenix light? Does high or low comes on first?

Thanks!

Reverse Clicky. Low --> High --> Off

Depends which D mag. I've had both, but not at the same time, and I'd guess it's about equivalant to a 6D mag's tightest spot. But remember, that's while putting out more spill than a mag ever will.

The switch cycles low-high-off. There is no time delay however, so if you're in low you will always have to turn it to high before turning it off, etc.

Its a Clicky, and the switching is done within the Clicky, and you cant half press it to change brightness levels. So in a way, it does give you momentary.

Its throw also beats the 6D anyday...

it throws on par with my ROP HI

Okay I see, so it's sorta like a mechanical clicky with three steps instead of the traditional two step on/off then? Afraid that kills the deal, don't like having to cycle through to turn off.

As for throw, I'm wondering only the size of hotspot, I take it they are similar? Output is not a concern, because it can always be modded.

From my memory of WadeF's beamshots of the DBS(similar beam pattern) and the Mag 6D, they do have similar hot spot sizes.
