It looks really nice, I hope to see a review soon.

I was surprised when i read that it runs on a single AA or 14500 battery.

a nice light

Looks promising! I was trying to figure out what a "Metal tracery tail cap" was (thinking it was something magic) and it looks like it's just a metal button instead of a rubber boot. Same info also at: http://www.tiablolight.com/tl1.htm

Wonder if this has some kind of shortcut to low and high modes like the Nitecore lights have? I like the ramping but I really like how I can jump directly to low or hight with the Nitecore EX10.

Looks like the same switch that nitecore has .

I think it's a clicky, not a Piston Drive like the Nitecore. It does have a similar look to it though.

it could be something along the lines of the MCU controlled lights that Lightflux has.....the switch is under the metal switch.

Isn't that what the nitecore defender infinity already does? Looks almost the same too.

Am I reading this correctly, are they advertising a single AA light that will produce 230 lumens?

Ok... Never have had a Tiablo, but that is the best looking power button i have seen... Love the universal power symbol.

That head is a deal killer for me, those things are way to big. :thumbsdow

Edit: Why does this flashlight look like unbranded? I don't see Tiablo nor TL-1 engraving anywhere.

The head is wayyyy too spiky for me, may hurt you while kept in the pocket. but overall the light looks good.

Oh yeah... without a doubt it is completely unusable with that 'crown' but I still like the power button

Maybe with the 4.2V 14500 Li-ion battery?

A malkoff M30 will do 230 off an RCR14500. 47s should clarify if those numbers are with NiMH, Alkaline, Lithium Ion or Lithium primary.

Probably pre-production units, if they come with a sheath/holster then it wouldn't be too much of a problem with the "spikes".

Probably be good if they have the option to change the head to a non-tactical head like some other torches.

Looks interesting, can't wait to hear more about it.

I don't think the bezel has long enough crenelations. Clearly they need to be made pointier and sharper.
