Macs VS TnC

Just got this nice new ss ultra-lux from bob in the mail. Just thought I would take some pics. So I took the ti edc out of my pocket to compare.


I loves me an optic.

I guess I got fat fingers because I like the wider tail.


I will say the TnC appearers brighter. Beam shot coming soon.

They messed up that last one, but I fixed it!

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing. And that is a creepy looking tunnel!

That looks great in SS. I just ordered one in brass. Seeing that next to a Ti Mac's EDC (my personal favorite light) pushed me over the edge.

I can't tell from your beamshots whether it has a defined hotspot. How is it for throw with the optic?

You say you need some more beam shots. Its a massive hot spot,My new favorite beam profile. Throw is great, but understand I like warm lights, this is my only cool and it is the brightest.

Thanks for those! The beam looks great.

Got my Brass Ultra-Lux! It is a really beautiful light and it has a great weight and balance in the hand. Comparing it to a 4.2A XM-L2 drop-in from vinhnguyen54, it is only a little bit behind in output and has a great ~6000k tint (my very rough estimate, compared to the 6200k XM-L2).

The machining is flawless and the name carved into the side is quite a bit more impressive in person. I would strongly recommend this as a great value to anybody that likes 18350 lights and wants a ton of output in a top-notch EDC. If I had a wishlist, I would like to see a good clip option (maybe a removable clip that could slip on behind the battery cap O-Ring) and a few trit slots for when the GITD O-Ring in the head goes out.

I'll be on the lookout for the Ti version and the 18650, which is listed as having a 27mm optic!
