Hammer! 99

The lamp is really awesome. I have this for over 5 weeks, and have it outdoors at night, on dark squares and tested in the forest, and the brightness range is second to none. For me it has excellent * * Balance between hotspot (the brightest lit circle in the middle), throw (range) and Flood (~ overall size of the illuminated circle); so far the best compromise between these 3 criteria that I have seen. I have as recommended by the manufacturer, protected inside 18650s; Be careful with over-long 70mm batteries, they fit just purely by force, but 67-68mm batteries you put simply. And my measurements for the range is loosely over 400m, ie 518m-disclosure could agree. The lowest level is really very economical when compared to the highest level and should be able to light up more than 40 days, which I have tested only 20h. The light is neutral white and has no blue cast. According to several reports, it also has actual 2500-2800 lm @ 0s (depending on the copy), which is pure madness. The really have to experience yourself. In candlepower Forum, Youtube, etc. can be found detailed reviews.

It comes in a matching aluminum box with foam, extra rubber seals, nylon belt bag and a fairly meaningless in their weight carrying strap (!). She seems very robust and high quality. The reflector is very deep and perfectly polished. The solder joints are clean, only one would have to re-oil the thread after use, as it's actually always recommended. The rotary switch works very smoothly despite my initial concerns. Between Max brightness and strobe mode is the standby mode, which is in my opinion very well thought out. They also dominated the so-called. "Tailstand", ie they can be with the bulb upwards put on the table. That's enough to light a loose ~ completely 40sqm room.

I read again and again by utopian expectations of all possible, but operated mainly with 18650s flashlights beyond 500-1000 Lm, where people complain about "heat generation". That this flashlight in power-hungry 2750 Lm mode is already warmer, I must stress, so that later no "disappointed". But warm is not a sign of bad design, on the contrary, the faster heat is transported outwards, the gentler it is for the electronics and Li-Ion batteries, whose nemesis is # 1 heat. I turn to this mode at night very often but never more than 2-3 minutes to, and me has not been disturbed in the least heat.

But be careful: It must be clear to everyone that this lamp is massive size and weight approximately 811g including carrying case & batteries.. Last but not least, with 2700lm could cause epileptic seizures or motorists and many species of animals completely blinded for some people !!! These points before purchase, and note the application and deal responsibly with the device.

Strong buy recommendation for flashlight enthusiasts and demanding applications.

If you find this review informative and useful, I look forward to a fair "Yes / No" evaluation, possibly with the comment.
