Got my D10 today, and dang, is this thing sweet! I don't have time to take any pics right now, but first thing after loading it with a 2000mAh NiMH AA battery, I replaced the OD green lanyard paracord with neon orange, and attached the split ring directly to the lanyard holes. The low level on this light is going to be perfect for getting around in the woods at night without losing night vision altogether, and the high...wow! At about 25% this light blows anything else I own out of the water.
The UI is very intuitive, IMO, and easy to get the hang of quickly. I had one of those really cheap 'magnetic' shake lights, the kind with no actual magnet in it, that actually runs off two coin cell batteries, that I cannibalized (ripped the LED/battery assembly out of the cylinder to make it a momentary-on pocket light), that I'd been using at night, but it was so dim as to be next to useless. Comparing it to the D10 on low, I'd say it puts out about 2 lumens at most.
The D10 is definitely an improvement, and I'd just like to thank you, Andy, for being that catalyst that made me finally break down and buy a decent flashlight!
Those splashed lights look freaking awesome, swissbianco! I really love the red and black ones, and the blue and orange! :thumbup: :thumbup:
