Niteye TF20 clearance - any good?

Hi,

I hope that this is in the right area.

I noticed that Illumination Supply has it, plus several other Niteye lights on pretty good clearance. I haven't seen much on the Niteye TF20, so I was wondering what the opinions are on this one?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi,

Anyone? I've seen a video review:

and it seems like it's pretty nice and at a pretty good price, but not much here. Is there something wrong with this light that they'd be selling these off at that price ("clearance")?

Sorry, I'm a newbie, so may not be aware of things, so just asking.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi!

I have one of these.
Pros: Machining and beam is nice. Nice with magnetic ring and rear switch. Very comfortable in the hand.
Cons: Magnetic ring is slippy. Magnetic ring is very linear, so at 50% twist your're basically at full output. Hard to hit the lowest possible power. When turning off too easy to enter strobe mode. But most biggie for me: I have experienced several times that the controls went totally crazy, making me have to reinsert battery. Especially when I got snow on it. There is something odd going on there, at least with my light.

Wouldn't buy it again, but at this price it is a good buy as long as it doesn't have any electronics issues.
