Light has changed a bit - for better and worse

Pros:After ordering one light for myself some monts ago, I ordered three more for friends and family.The lens on the previous light was a bit hazy (as others have noticed as well), the lenses for the new lights are much, much better.Overall build quality is very good in my opinion.Light output is really high.Beam pattern is very nice.Wide hot spot, going smoothly over into side spill. No rings or artifacts.
Cons:The previous light had mode memory: it would come back in whatever mode you switched it off in. The new light always comes on in High mode. Actually, I don't know if I should call this a pro or a con.With the new driver, current still is not regulated.
Other Thoughts:Maybe next time I will try sku.33550.It does not have the modes, but can handle voltages up to 9V, so it should have proper current regulation.
Bottomline:Very nice light, super bright, wish it had proper current regulation.

I ordered three and none of them show the same amp

Pros:Very bright lights on high mode. The one drawing 2.36 amps is almost as bright as my MTE P-7. The light seems to be well made and gets warm so I guess it's transfering heat.
Cons:The mid and low modes are not bright enough. The mid is a good low and the low is a candle. One draws 2.31 amps, one at 1.36 and one at 1.21. The specs call for them to be regulated at 1 amp.
Other Thoughts:They need to be consistent.
Bottomline:If they solve the regulation problem these are good lights.

Nice Surprise!

Pros:Very bright and useful light. Compared to XR-E's this is a useful general purpose light with a larger hotspot.The o-ring and threads in the head were even lubricated!
Cons:Strobe modes are a con for me without being able to program them out but this applies to most lights. The tail treads were a little sharp and dry but nothing major.I guess it's not regulated so that's a con but as long as it continues to work...no problem.
Bottomline:The is a very useful light. Using rechargeable long life batteries and having three useful modes and a wide hotspot. Well made for a light in this price range.The finish does appear to be black paint or something less than hard anodizing but I'm no expert here.

This light is insanely bright!

Pros:This light is bright!Insanely bright!Mechanical build quality is very good. Mode memory work fine; after a switch-off of more than a few seconds (up to hours, maybe even more) the light returns to the mode that it was switched off in (not the next one, as with other lights)
Cons:This light is _insanely_ bright... ;-)The version that I got, has PWM for the modes, but no current regulation, even though it is sold as having one. Direct driving a Cree XPG from a full battery amounts to murder. An XPG has a much lower Vf than the XREs that are known as Q5 or R2, and, as current rises sharply with voltage for LEDs, an XPG is overdriven quite a bit when direct-driven from a full LiIon battery. Current can rise to >2A for a full battery (I have measured 2.2A at the tailcap)
Other Thoughts:I really like this light, and if the issue with the overdriven LED can be resolved, I will buy several more for friends.
Bottomline:Buy this light if you like blindingly bright flashlights, but don't run it for too long on full batteries.

VERY GOOD FLASHLIGHT

Pros:WOW ! ! !This FlashLight is really nice and amazingly bright. Just Fantastic ! Nice built quality and really esay to use.The flashlight´s circuit does not make that anoying noise like in other flashlights.It does not get hot after long time using.
Cons:I think tha I do not have anything to say against this product, but it culd be just a bit cheaper
Other Thoughts:If you want a GOOD flashlight, buy this one with the TrustFire batteries and the charger.If you will buy just one flashlight, 2x18650 are enough.
Bottomline:I´m very satified with this product !
