Not a review, just a first impression.
This is a very rugged light.
It feels almost tougher than my UK 4aa.
I wanted it, so I could use up the almost 50 partially depleted aa batteries I have, and it works like a charm, using batteries that would not have the juice to power much of anything else.
The light has better throw (even outside with urban light spill) than I had expected.
The beam quality is what I expected, which is what I had read here at CPF, very nice and full. There is however, this really cool kaleidoscope affect around the edges of the beam. The only way to describe it, would be like reflections off a diamond. This must be the shadows that each specific led cast against each other. I like the way looks actually.
Well I do like the light. It's exactly what I expected it to be, and unless something goes horribly wrong with mine, I'll not hesitate to buy them for family gifts.
BTW: I bought mine from pocket lights and told them I heard about their website from CPF ))
Happy Holidays everyone!
