Just got a Streamlight TwinTask 3c a couple days ago. Nice unit, and I'm sure I'll come to like it even more as time, and battery life, go by. Was out last night messing with it some. I was a bit dissapointed, frankly, in the Xenon performance. It's bright enough but seems to have very little "cast". I cranked on the focus this way and that, but the difference, if any, was pretty subtle, not at all like my 3-D MagLight adjustment.In fact, although I have no accurate way of measuring it, I'd not be too surprized to find that one of my little PrincetonTec "Blasts" could outperform it (with fresh batteries!). The light also appeared very yellow, but I'm thinking maybe thats just because you run thru the very white LED modes to get to it.
All in all, I'm happy, but if the focus is indeed "working as designed", when it comes to putting some light on something at a distance, say 40-50 yards, this unit just won't cut it. Is the focus adjustment limited by the small reflector size, or compromised by the facets of the reflector? Could I have recieved a light with a "focus defect" of some type?
