I've had this light for over 2 years now and it has become a shelf queen after it came back from warranty repairs. I really missed the Lux V head it used to have--much warmer tint with better color rendering. The only downfall is that the emitter is not as efficient as the P4. What happened? Water leaked through the lens and sat inside the bezel. Sent it for repairs but it came back with a new head and tailcap.
My question is...Are there anymore uses for this light?
The low mode is somewhat bright for that bump-in-the-night search. The high mode is just not bright enough. With that size reflector it has, you'd expect it to be a thrower but it isn't. It has the best balance between hotspot and spill, I'll give it that. Perfect beam pattern with no flaws.
I'd like to have it modded and bored for 18650 but the way it stands, I'm too broke to for that. My goal for it is to make it a high CRI 90+ on 18650.
Aside from modding and best CS surefire has, is this light even worth that $300 from Surefire anymore?
