First impression:
I love it! My tint is not cool in the least.
I got #37, in a row.....................
Small, excellent finish, smooth focusing, and a GDuP board!
This light may be a new favorite of mine. :twothumbs It is a solid tool, kinda heavy, if you hold one then you will feel it immediately.
It throws well for such a small asphere lens and the flood setting is perfect for me.
This little light is 3 levels of throw and 3 levels of flood in one package and the price was really cheap for this much quality.
The "bezel" ring is black as is the tail cap. The body's earth color is really nice, it's like a SF OD but with a hint of bronze.
The anno is very thick without any flaws, it must of been in the tank for quite awhile!
The McClicky switch works just like it should. Not too hard of a press and not too light either.
The waterproofing is very well done, no water seems able to get into mine. Yeah I tried!
This little guy is also heat sinked very well, on high it warms quickly but it isn't getting actually hot 10 minutes in.
The light arrived as well packaged as possible without being welded into a metal box! It included a Chapman sticker and a new Energizer primary. The baggie the battery was in is really thick, I'm going to re-use that one.
The lens is recessed into the light enough so that it remains protected if you set it down bezel first.
The engraving is the deepest and boldest I have ever seen on a light in my life, you really feel it.
The letters were not colored in so you can't read it from too far away, that may be a plus for some.
If you want Mule type flood then you can just spin the lens unit off and use it. The lens unit will also start a fire using sunlight! SWEET
The LE is potted with the same stuff that is used on a Malkoff SF model and the pill's brass is really thick.
It has no anti-roll so it will roll away like a well trained dog! Keep an eye on it.
Loosening the tail cap will not lock out the switch, it's my only negative. However that means it will be easy to put on a Novatac style clip without impeding function.
Will the Novatac clip fit? Sort of, you need to use an O-ring to center it. Like when you put one on a G2 or a 6P.
Focusing it one handed is possible but it takes finger strength and effort. If you hands are wet then it isn't happening!
If you focus it well then the lines of the die appear very clear and sharp.
The bezel narrows to a thin band, it isn't sharp but this is where the anno will disappear first.
This light is made like a camera, precise. I highly recommend trying something made by LensBright.
Not too big.
Focused for flood. ------------------------------->Focused for throw.
I have now done a glow mod on the light, pics are in post #40.
