I received a T1, today.

States on the packaging that it's a 1.5 watt, 35 lumen light with a 1.5 hr runtime.
Other specs:
Uses the TIROS system
on/off clickie
4.59" long, .98" diameter
If you're familiar with the XO, T3, etc., you'll recognize the beam pattern on the T1. It's a nice rounds hotspot. The "saturn" rings that are present on the TIROS equipped lights are muted in the T1, but are still noticible. I don't have a problem with them, though.

The clickie switch is very well done.

Overall, the T1 is a really nifty light.

Glad you like your T1, Dano.

IMHO, it's what the X0 should have been in the first place. I really like mine, and the X0 is languishing on the shelf with the rest of the "has beens".

Not quite languishing, actually, since my X0 was one of about 10 I was able to try and I think I got an exceptionally bright LED in mine. So, it's actually a shade brighter than my T1, but I've never cared for the moderate "clunkiness" of the X0.
