The feature of the tritium trachea,it is in the middle,plenty of light,the tritium trachea is just 1 color,only in the dark can appear different colors

Light up in the bucket for 30 minutes,the waterproof ability is OK!

My thoughts:
Compact size. Excellent quality , all the details are well done !
The dimming method is very very good,it can avoid losing its head (if it is losen to turn off , the head will eally be lost when we carry it everyday)
the tritium tube,is very beautiful,though it is not too big, it can help me to find my keys and flashlight in the dark,and five colors for choosing !
but the appearance design is too ordinary!


Thanks for reading
my first review ! !:laughing:

Great first review ! :thumbsup:

I'm glad to see a budget light that includes a trit slot. They might have exaggerated the 25 years trit life however. It might still be visible but I doubt it would still be useful.

Before I get it ,I also have some doubt about the trit slot,but I have changed my mind since I carry it for serveral days !
The trit slot can widely be used in many things,especially for the EDC gears,we can find our equipments quicklly !

The dimming method of VOLLSION SP11-S is: tighten to turn off ,loosen to turn on !
So it will not come apart in you pocket when is twisted off !

blatant ripoff of Tain Ottavino


and of Tain Piccolo


or maybe not ;)

I don't know for sure, I have owned the first version EOSLAMP SP-11 since October 2011. Too uninterested to do the time line on both lights. So much of this universe is borrowed.The SP-11 looks great when buffed to a mirror finish. I like all of my SP-11 versions.

Coincidence that we have a new member in the introductions subforum with the same user name as the name brand of this light? For all I know, it's a very common word or name in the far east. I just find the timing interesting.

The light definitely bears a striking resemblance to Tain's Ottavino and Piccolo series of lights and has the same type of UI.

Then again, there is a limit to how much one AAA light can look all that different from another imposed by the small size and shape of the battery.

The full knurling is something that Tain's machinist is a master of and to achieve such a good finish in a relatively modestly priced light made of Stainless Steel is quite creditable.

There have been many designs taken or borrowed from others across the years. Some more blatant than others. Its sometimes difficult to know whether to call it plagiarism or just a tribute to the original. Its also not always obvious about whose was the original in the first place.

as I know,many friends make reviews for Fenix,Olight,Jetbeam,Nitecore etc.
I just want to bring something or some brands new as my first review !

If we go back further in time, this light looks a lot like the Versati, especially the tail with the trit slot.
