If anyone isn't a fan of the magnetic tail switch and just wants more brightness and battery life, you might want to know that the v3.0 head works with older v2.0 body. I am not sure wheather it retains its waterproofness since the threading is a bit shorter than on the older version, but it's still nice it's backwards compatible.
I feel that on the v3 of this light, Fenix took two steps forward and one step back. I like the magnetic tailcap, metal switch, and the slight increase in brightness, but for some reason all the beamshots I've seen of this look too yellow. Also I think the memory function is a negative. Having the v2 always come on in low was nice because you didn't accidentally blast your night vision if you were last using it on high. Finally, it would also be nice to have a bit lower low, like 1-2 lumens. BTW, you don't have to defend your lack of need for more than 200 lumens.....you're free to like the flashlight you want in this country! :-)
The lack of memory is why I chosen the older version. Memory is a good idea in bike light, but not here. Also in official graphs, V3.0 seems to faster loose brightness in high mode, but these graphs are only schematic.
@@AlphaCharlieConceptscool! I’ll order one, but I’ll still never let anyone see me use it, because I don’t want to lose cool points for using anything other than a Surefire.
Ive followed you for a while i normally dont comment but what are your thoughts on lights on fighting rifles? Most people would say of course you should but to me i see alot of draw backs to it which im sure you know. Thanks for the info that you share. God bless
I've touched on it multiple times in the past, but I'm going to do a dedicated video about it soon. Rifle lights are a good thing, but every rifle doesn't have to have, and shouldn't have, a light.

Thanks for the video John have a good week brother .
Nice, looks like the same housing manufacturer that makes the Streamlight housings/ bodies.
The body does look/feel very similar to my Streamlights.
@@AlphaCharlieConcepts Right on
Looks good, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
👍🏻👍🏻
Дякую. Забагато тексту, замало корисної інформації.
Does it have a night vision setting? I don’t want a flashlight unless I can use it with my $15000 dual tube gen 3 NOD.
It does. That would be the OFF setting....
