It looks like a possible EDC, but I wonder how well the switch works, and is the light as GREEN as the photo indicates. Anyone have personal experience to share?

LOL! Funny you mention this light now. I was going to post about it yesterday but didn't get around to it. Anyways, I saw this light Monday when I went to Charleston,SC at Brookstone. It looks like a smaller alternative to the SL 3aa Luxeon Task light. I tried to turn it on at the store buy i don't think batteries were in it. My wife and I are going to Charleston again Sept. 12-15 and depending on our vacation budget, I may pick this light up. I plan on taking some 123's with me to try the light out in the store, mainly so i don't get a greenie, if i am able to buy one.

I did get to play with the 3c led light(6 leds + 1 in the center w/focused reflector/optic. I really couldn't tell how bright it was but I do know it was extremely smooth!

That's gotta be a Nuwai light (like the SL TT's) in Lux form. Same strap also. Looks like a nice compact light, price is not bad either.

Yup I was gonna say it looks like a Nuwai. I like the styling of them.

Does anyone know if this light has a focus adjustment like the TL LED SLs do ?

I love to see those prices dropping on good quality lights.

One watt led from Nuwai in these configurations; 3aa, 3aaa, 6aaa, 3c, two 123. That 3aaa looks interesting. Who sells this stuff. I want!

I have one. It's not a bad light, a little on the green side. It is not regulated and does not focus, It uses two 123a batts. It is built very well, all aluminum, and is priced reasonably for a 1 watt luxeon. It makes a good glove box light.

I wish Brightguy, or others, would pick up on this (and similar lights), they might be selling for $ 30 or so.

A one watt Lux, of great quality would be something. A nod to the Streamlight 3AA Task light one watt Lux, which IS selling for about $ 30 is deserved......

....and is a Nuwai also.

ledaholic:

Is the switch any good? Any momentary on feature? Can it stand up in candle mode? Any guess how wide the head is?
Are you glad that you bought it?

TIA

The switch is click on -- press for momentary off.
In other words: backwards.

Yes it is made by Nuwai, just like all of the SL TT lights. BTW, the example of this light I saw at a local Brookstone had by far the greenest 1W LS I have ever seen! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sick.gif It was horrible!

The salesman saw me looking at it and asked me if I had any questions (ya right, like he could answer them /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif More like the other way around). I pulled out my MM+ w/ Q3L and educated him!!!

After I modded my mine (see previously posted link), I went back to the Brookstone were I bought it and showed the employees a proper Luxeon. Needless to say the R2H HD thoroughly stomped the Q1K LD that these lights come with. Now I find myself patiently waiting the release of dat2zip's one-sided DownBoys, so I can take this project to the next level (500ma, dual-function main switch for brightness level, clickie in the tail cap). Should be stellar. Later.

Thanks for all the input. Think I'll pass on this - and wait for something similar from another manufacturer.
