I think the most blinding feature of this light.....
is the model name inscription.

oo:

Hope to see this against Catapult's outdoor shots soon.

Zeruel, maybe they'll scrap the HUGE white letters on the lights coming to the US, besides that it looks very nice and the quality should be top notch.

Oh, I've no doubt on Tiablo's quality and yes, hope they'll scrap it or at least make it smaller. But then again, this has nothing to do with its performance, just a minor minor thought for the first thing I saw.

I came to the light... · Oct 31, 2009

I like the looks of this... can't wait to read the reviews.

I think they should skip SST50 and jump directly into SST90.

I guess the model name is inspired by AS50 sniper rifle from UK.

I think their SST-90 flashlight is on the way, depending upon supply of the SST-90 LED.
I guess they will name the SST-90 flashlight as AS90, inspired by the self-propelled howitzer from UK.

Shouldn't the comparison photo have been with the A10 instead of the ACE?

Or, both....

I will want to know what the switch is like before I even consider buying another Tiablo.

If it is like the A9 I will give it a miss!

Sweet light, I had an A-10 and regret selling it, this would definitely make me feel better

. I sure hope they get rid of the huge AS50 logo for the production model.

Jeez looks like the light goes from too short, to too long. :sick2:

I was thinking that too. That and the fact that it looks like it says " ASSO"

What problems have you had with the switch as a matter of interest ?

ateallthepies · Nov 5, 2009

I just do not like having to click on low then another click to get to high and then another for off. Also not having momentary on is a big issue for me.
I find it a real pain set up like this and much prefer a forward clicky with momentary on switch and a twisty style head with say low, medium and high positions.

In any situation I find myself in I know what level of light I want before I turn the light on and I don't want to be clicking away finding that required level.

Nothing wrong with the quality of the switch mind just not right for me.
