Looks good. Goes on my watchlist.

Wonder how the UI works.

Looks like an irresistible upgrade to the MMU X3 that I love so much. Only a teeny bit more length and 25% more lumens. Integral charging and battery included: two things that the MMU X3 does not have.

Pity that 4sevens doesn't drive these power lights harder. With 3 XM-L2's, they should be able to drive this thing close to 3000 lumens. Instead, 2000 lumens for just 1 minute, then only 1000 lumens? I get that they want to control thermal issues, but shouldn't a light this big be able to take more than 1000 lumens constant output?
Don't forget FourSevens usually understates its lights.

They could but it would defeat the purpose of the Malestrom series. David will probably chime in on this, but the Maelstrom series are suppose to be reliable and rugged, over driving the LEDS and boards probably wont help its reliability. Its not always about being the brightest. what good is a fast car if it wont start when you need it to?
The light really isn't that big. More or less the size of a chubby 6P.
On a side note, this light also adds a Clicky switch.

another option is to send one to or buy one from vinh. i had a dedomed one from him and it was doing 3000 lumens an 65kcd and it was pretty dam impressive. i sold it about a year ago and im still regretting it.
Anyone know if it has any weather/water resistance?

I was going to buy one, after realizing ^^^^^^, I bought an MMU-X3 instead. More lumens for longer.
Is there a runtime graph for this somewhere?
I would think it has the same type of thermal regulation as the MMU-X3.

selfbuilt has a review on the MMU-X3:

something like 2hr 19min to 50% output, the MMU-X3R is 1 minute to 50%

Where did you see it has a clicky? I liked the original but could not get use to the UI.
So where does the 1 minute to 50% come from? Is it in the specs?

Like the UI, don't like the step-down.

Thanks KJ2. I missed that. 1 minute does seem quite short. The MMU-X3 appears (based on Selfbuilts graph) to go approx 5 minutes before the thermal step down.
