Well, after waiting nearly 2 months it finally arrived. The first thing I did was Rip out the P60 LA and install the P61 To test how bright it was, by shining it in my eyes. That was my first mistake, unless you like having a big white circle in your vision every time you blink for 15 min i would reccomend against shining it in your eyes. Its bright, REALLY BRIGHT. I work in a warehouse, with no windows, so i turned the light off to test it, if i was at the top of the rack shining it down it would light up a area on the ground about 50 times bigger than my mini-mag(i know i shouldnt be comparing it to a mini-mag, but they are the same size and its the only other light i have other than my ARC AAA) I love the range on it, it will still light up a wall 50 yards away. Then i decided to test it for waterproofness(its a word, really
) I put it in a 10 foot tall waterproof container and filled it with water for a hour, it was fine, i dont care if it can go any deeper cause i cant see myself ever needing it to. Then i decided to test its ability to blind a person while fighting. I asked a co-worker to clip it to his hat, keep it pointed into my eyes and spar with me. Let me note i can take this guy 9 out of 10 falls under normal conditions. When we started to fight i found it VERY hard to judge distance when blinded and VERY hard to block because i could see nothing of his upper body, only his legs. Anyways he took me 8 out of 10 falls so i would say it would be very useful in SD situations. And remember, i was fighting when i was expecting it, in a SD situation i'll bet you would scare the crap outta the attacker. All in all i am very impressed with the lights performance and ruggedness. A Very good light that you could trust under any conditions. Anyhting you can throw at it ill bet it can handle. Sorry for the long winded post.
