The new thing about this light (for Sunwayman at least) seems to be the addition of a button on the side. Their announcement in the marketplace describes the side switch and rear switch as having different functions. Unfortunately, as seems to often be the case with Sunwayman, I can't quite understand what they are trying to say about it. They also mention the ability to use a remote pressure switch with this light.

I'm eagerly awaiting numbers on throw.

Would this be overkill for my AR15?

kinda hard to imagine a 700 lumen light be able to throw 500 meters of light, i own a tk35 820 lumen thrower but at 300 meters, the light is already so faint, you wouldnt notice it much. will have to wait for Marshall's take on this one.

Very similar to the surefire ub3t invictus in looks and output.

● Effective range of 500 meters = 62500 lux ????

Sounds to me like the tailcap switch is purely used to turn the light on and off - be it constant or momentary - and the side switch is used purely to change modes.

I think the side switch to change modes is good. This light looks nice!

Looks good. I like the addition of the side switch. I think in most cases holding the light underhand is more comfortable. I could actually live without the tail switch altogether.

Hard to tell from the photo angles how deep the reflector is.

Interested to see more!

The bottom half of this light looks exactly like a Surefire M3LT.

I think the tail cap may override mode settings to max when pushed with the light on. Then I think I also read the light has a memory. ????? I would love it if the tail cap does have a max out put from lower modes when using the tail switch.

I only read the above description, which seemed pretty clear cut. Perhaps I need to have a look at the Marketplace thread.

Anybody compare this to a Thrunite Catapult V3, EagleTac M3C4 single XML, or Olight M3X yet?

@tre, sorry I don't have those lights but did do a 172m comparo to other XM-L lights as well as a M3LT (400lms version) and a XR-E here.
