yeah it looks like an XR-E
its a really nice ~4000k tint
basically an H30 ripoff with a neutral emitter.
Im under the assumption the XR-E zebras didnt
have any artifacts?
AND I really like the simple elastic loop holder
maybe even more than the standard zebra/spark
silicone. the elastic is more secure feeling while at
the same time being easier to pull the light out of.
simple UI starts on low and double click to HI
hold to ramp infinite.
got it on ebay for 35$ shipped so it was still a good
deal even with the little rings.
Are the rings outside of the beam? The nature of the XR-E is that the metal lens holding ring creates internal reflections and therefore projects rings outside of the main light beam/spot. Its in the nature of aspheric XR-E lights to do this, and my H2 does this, but its not really relevant and you don't notice it in normal use. Do you have a picture of the beam of yours?
And another question, does yours exhibit a visible flicker on lower outputs. Set the brightness to minimum, and while pointing the torch at yourself, swing the torch around. Do you see the flickering light, or a constant light?
yeah its mostly outside of the beam and
we used it last night outside without it bothering
us at all. I didnt notice the PWM flicker and
Im fairly sensitive to it.
Id take some beamshots but I bought the light
for my GF and its at her house. the tint is really
nice- on the warm side of neutral but not too
warm. it seems brighter than 100 lumens to me
but maybe its just the floody nature makes it seem
brighter. Ill post beamshots next time I borrow the
light. I wish it ran on 18650 - Id grab one for myself
if it did.
