I have more flashlights than I like to admit, but one more couldn't hurt. Walking through lowes a few days ago and I stopped to look at the flashlights like always. This Kobalt light claiming 500lm was screaming, buy me. So I decided to give it a shot.
A buddy of mine has an armadillo problem on his 10,000acre farm. Once a month or so we go on armored vermin patrol, which has to be done at night. Within the first 5min I realized this isn't your typical BS store brand light. To top it off, the batteries lasted all night, and are still kickin.
I now own 2 of them and my buddy owns one as well. I took it apart tonight to see what makes it tick. I was very happy with the design and components. It uses a Cree XM-L and has more heat sink area than any light I've ever seen.
Ok, didn't know you couldn't attach pics. Will update with pics asap.
The emmiter and driver are housed in a huge heat sink that threads into the lower part of the 2pc head.
The reflector threads into the upper part of the head. The reflector itself is also a very large heat sink.
