I just purchased one of these and wanted to know if anyone who already owns one has any thoughts or comments....Thanks....Robert
Anyone have one of these from OSTS?
Well your light just shipped as you probably know by now so you will have to report back your findings. As I have said before I am a bit dispassionate with my lights when it comes to expressing how I feel about them. The modified SS is significantly more polished overall as compared to the stock light. You will like the very smooth action of the head movement to change the beam. The stock light has a metal on metal grating sound. It is very powerful for the size. Two things I don't like about the light are the slightly too narrow beam for the intensity that it has and the fact that there are some artifacts when in full flood. Overall I love it though and it has been a fairly big seller with several repeat buyers which tells me people like the light. I really wish I could source a shorter focal length lens for this light that would broaden the beam some. The dynamic range it has is almost impossible to beat so if you could only carry one light this might be a good candidate. I myself prefer to carry two lights. One dedicated throw and then a tiny pocket light like the modified T10 I now have on the site. I haven't really said anything about that light here yet but it is a gem.I just purchased one of these and wanted to know if anyone who already owns one has any thoughts or comments....Thanks....Robert
dear Saabluster,
any chance of offering this light with an XPE-2?
What improvement in lux might be expected when upgrading from XPE to XPE-2?

New light fro onestopthrowshop released today
About this, there isn't any info I can find. Does it have any flood capability? I have no use for a just throw light of that size, but if I could also use if for flood it might make it into my EDC rotation. The SS does look like a strong candidate as well, but I haven't ever purchased a OSTS light and would like to make my first one a masterpiece and not just another light to keep batteries for.
Saab- I understand the Smallsun is a single stage light: can you give me an approximate lumen output? Your site says "in stock", if I were to order today, when would it likely ship? I'm jonesing for my DeftX, and this may help take the edge off...
I cannot find beam shots of this light anywhere.
All the OSTS light beam shots will show a bright line and a tiny spot. This has a typical aspheric beam pattern. There are three unknowns: minimum and maximum beam angle, and lux at maximum throw. What would a beam shot show besides a bright square?
