Re: ThruNite Catapult Detailed Pics!
well.. there's a slight problem with that.
my V1 is lower ouptut than production
my reflector is physically dented -- which changes my beam.
the v2 is at a higher drive current than the production v1.. it will be slightly bright
I can notice it being brighter between proto v1 and v2. Not sure about production v1 and v2.

After handling both versions, which interface do you prefer and why? I read that they changed how the v2 works.

Re: ThruNite Catapult Detailed Pics!
you are turning the actual tube portion. -- where the battery tube meets the driver portion.
I prefer the V2 UI.. much simpler to use if I'm ever in a problematic situation.
also, the level spacing seems nice -- use it outside and see

Hey Craig:
How's the tint on the V2? Would the tint of the V2 be as warm as the M1X? I figured there's not much point getting the V2 if the tint is too cool to be useful outdoors.

sorry, I haven't handled a M1X, but it's a standard cool white MC-E, right? It seems the SST50s are slightly warmer than the MC-Es we're used to.

I'm interested in getting the SS bezel when they start selling them seperately. Can you confirm if the V2's bezel fits in your pre-production Catapult's head?

they are compatible, at least on my sample.

The question that lots of people want to know the answer: is the steel bezel compatible with the v1?
edit: Craig, my Catapult is a v1 made in 2010 and has the same switch contact as the v2 in your pics. My reflectors (both OP and SMO) also have to have a slightly bigger opening, it doesn't touch the LED, I think it's just the earlier versions that were smaller.

just some bits and particles from the factory.. I should have cleaned off the lights before taking the pictures, sorry.
also, the new version is the one with the better knurling. the cuts are done straight (like | ) instead of ( / ) , which makes it grippier.. I think.
I answered earlier that mine were compatible. thanks for the info on the reflectors.
