I recently bought a VB-16 and thought I would post some pics for comparison sake with a couple other lights I have. The VB-16 is running a rechargeable 18650 battery and the pics below show it with the stock lens and with a UCL-LDF from flashlightlens.com. The Streamlight Propoly Lux 4AA (SLPPL) is running 2500 mAh NiMH AA's as is the Gerber Lx 3.0. All NiMH batteries were fresh off the charger. The 18650 had been charged a couple days before but not used. Enjoy...

Hey, thanks for the great beam shots. You make the VB-16 seem very tempting. I may have to put it in next month's flashlight budget.

It's a very nice light at a great price. Waion (Dealer) is very good about dealing with any problems you run across.

I'd like to see the VB-16 compared with the new SWAT Tactical, a new 3W 1x18650 light just introduced by Dae for $44.50 shipped.

16 brightness level vs single brightness level.
