Now my opinion about the lamp, I asked almost every day More than 1 month to the test. I like to walk through the pitch darkness over the field and in the forest and I am very satisfied. If I compare it with other lamps with "real" lumen specifications, unlike many, mostly cheap lamps brightness data here seem totally agree. The modes are set altogether practicable from super eye friendly 0.3 Lm to 1050 Lm; only 800 could be a Tickchen in the middle ZW 280 place in 1050, about 700, so the jumps look something like this:. + 260 / + 320 / + 350, instead of present + 260 / + 420 / + 250th When switching from 280 to 800, the light intensity is enormously bright And contrary to some reviews you take the leap from 800Lm on 1050LM but true. these reviewers should charge your batteries fresh or buy better.
During an evening stroll rich usually 20 and possibly 280 Lm from perfect. Even genuine 280 Lm is very bright and 800 & 1050 Lm are far brighter than a lot of people for "simpler" purposes need as lead Gassi. But these stages are ideal for geocaching, camping and hiking (also tested). For a flashlight of this size, these values are very considerable. The distribution between hotspot, Throw and Flood I find balanced, as I prefer to take with a rounder, as specialists Throw and Flood.
Size and weight are very handy so that it can be easy to take the strap backpack, waist bag,. The wrist strap can be drawn more closely with a handy plastic part, so that the flashlight does not fall off your wrist. Unfortunately, I really do not like the rigid clip. The opening between it and housing is about 1 mm (s. Customers image) and the insertion of eg fleece jacket collar or pocket opening requires both hands, especially if you have short fingernails geknipste, like me! But this clip also has 2 great advantages: A. It holds bombproof to B. Because he does not slip much, I use it to find the mode dial with tact if I wear something thick gloves. Since ThruNite should shut the clip bit bigger, then the stiffness would be OK
The solder joints are meticulously crafted and even protected batteries with 70mm length without pure. The quality affects overall quality and there are no dirty ground, sharp corners or similar The polish and shape of the reflector is grandiös for this 1x18650 segment; looks just like the uniform concentric light reflections in it and any impurities are seen. The rear turn-knob is also smooth, and if one presses him easily, (memory function), which I find super useful automatically the lamp lights up in the last selected brightness level. Strobe mode can be activated on the mode switch Long press forward, and pressing switches back to normal mode; an SOS mode (---...---) has it (thankfully) not that I find superfluous anyway. A 3800 mAh battery lasted about 3 weeks with daily use, mostly in 20/280 Lm area. The "heat generation" criticized by some users in 1050 Lm mode I find perfectly normal, even good, so that the battery does not overheat. Heat is everybody knows # 1 enemy of Li-Ion batteries.
Since I did not want to lug several lamps for different purposes, I borrowed a bright headband holder (s. My reviews) bought, where you can fix this. The low weight, the lamp keeps stable and I have almost always a flashlight or headlamp for hiking / geocaching.
CONCLUSION: Abd. of the little things, so clip and 800 instead of 700, I would definitely recommend this lamp with unbeatable P / L ratio.
If you find this review informative and useful, I look forward to a fair "Yes / No" evaluation, possibly with the comment.
ADDENDUM: It seems that here are some Hater go (MA of competition hmmm?) That do not necessarily mean in my opinion very accurate reviews, as "not helpful" to vote. Best to read the reviews and do not pay much in negative votes.
