      Ah didn't know that, still good deal for 40 bucks. Honestly I like a cool white for seeing in the woods and stuff, but for reading and a little table lamp for camping warmer high cri is better. Maybe wuben will make another model with warmer emitters. You usually lose some lumens though. X2 is available with 5k emitters. I've got 4500k rovyvon and it's a beautiful floody beam, but not super bright. Still one of my favorite lights- the titanium angel eyes. The Owl x3 had the decent Samsungs too, but the output was really weak, and turbo stepped down ridiculously fast. I just hope it's not the same emitter as G2 those are really cool white, think they're p9.

    I ordered one when they launched the campaign, but the more I see reviews, the more I think they need to refine this a lot. It feels like they are trying to do too many things without doing any of them well. 20˚ of angle change on the side? Weird! I wish all flashlights at least went up to a medium setting while charging. It could be an emergency!

      The Nitecore EDC29 only has an IPX54 rating* and I prefer having a moonlight, even though the low is a useful level. I will no longer buy anything lower than an IPX5 and I prefer IPX7 or better yet IPX8. I was doing some cleanup outside and just got hit by rain with my Arkfeld Ultra in my pocket. I wanted to get some palm fronds and banana leaved in the trash bin for pickup on Monday, before a potential visit by the second batch of rain via Hurricane Milton. The other night I had it on the bill of my cap while unloading the vacuum and my face and the Arkfeld Ultra felt dusty. I washed both. [*Always verify such assertions yourself, if it is important to you, but I recall seeing that mentioned in a video and checked myself.]

      Actually now that I have mine in my hands the thing is built like fort Knox. It's actually pretty damn heavy even without the cells- for a flashlight.
      Wish the selection slider was stiffer, but the main button is pretty good. Really nice flashlight, but would be better with hi cri lens, even if it was the side light. I also with you could change the power of the rgb led. And have a bigger adjustment angle. Also more power would be cool.
      But the build quality is really nice and for 35 dollars it's a hell of a light. I don't know what the retail price will be but they could charge more.
