+1... Couple of weeks ago I was considering this light as a first venture into a AAA/10440 format, but with no sub-lumen mode and visable PWM I'm still looking.

Looks good to me. Relatively inexpensive with respectable levels for a triple A light. Thanks for the heads-up. I never would've known of this otherwise.

I hope they make a reversable clip for this. I've carried my Fenix LOD with XR-E on my keychain for years. I like the idea of upgrading it, but I like the ability to clip the light to the brim of a hat, and it has been extremely useful to do so.

Pretty snazzy-looking for an AAA light, and I'm comfortable with the modes, you're not getting a moon mode in something this cheap. Not a fan of the strike bezel, any way to get that off for tailstanding?

The Lighthound AAA is a rebranded TD-0 and can tailstand.

I believe the Lighthound AAA is a model BD-0

There is a photo of the BD-0 at this discussion (link)

And in there is a close-up photo of the Lighthound AAA in this review here (link)

Ah, thank you gents; I dig the tan on this light though, I believe this might be the first proper desert tan AAA light. And I especially love all the grooves on the body, you could bling the hell out of it with rings/glow-rings..
