Vinney - I tested it back to back "against" a LL. I had no bias whatsoever and TBH, thought the LL might "win."
I could have had a small discount from either as I was testing them - but I mean small.
Both offered excellent service - I just preferred the design and build of the 601 and it was also brighter (to be fair, the LL had three XPGs and three XPEs for a "warmer" light - most have 6 XPGs now).
A mate then bought one of last years 601s (two modes instead of three) at a discount (available to all) and is very, very happy with it.
I have also tested Lupine lights and various Hopes.
So I'd say, pretty impartial.

Fair enough, then as its you, and as its nearly Christmas...

And last but by no means least, the small but beautifully formed Model 401

With old mount which was never used, the new mount gets the light closer to the mount itself and uses a rubber ring to wrap around the mount.

There, just for you Stoner, because you're worth it 😉

Not going to post a price here today, but will update the website soon.

Dude, if you like the light then fair enough, but if the reasons above are the only justification id say its a bit biased. Fairly certain Exposure ticks all of those boxes too...
Perhaps we can all take a breath 🙂
Theres no such thing as the perfect light, only, perhaps, the light that is perfect for you.
Theres a great range to choose from, offered up by all the usual suspects. Me, Trout, Hope, Lupine, Exposure, etc, etc.
So there should be a light for everyone, and we'll all have our favourites.
So chill, its Christmas.
Happy Christmas everyone.

Luminous - it's not for [i]my[/i] benefit. You'd do better getting them up on the site.
I already have an LL.
But then el Trout's terribly expensive website has plenty of informative images on it...
And S-M: I think the whiney-girl doth protest a little too much. Ive not been harsh. Ive made no judgement as to the quality or value for money of the lights.
Is this today's viral marketing thread?

Ah, it all becomes clearer. Excellent, at least you're a member of the "proper" lights club.
Cheers.

How much is the remote switch?

Luminous,

this ones selfcontained too under development 😯 only 1800 lumens too
Luminous, your light looks great but I really don't like what looks like a very slanted thread started by Mat who clearly doesn't have a simple supplier-customer relationship with you since you can't tell me the price and wasn't willing to admit that (and still hasn't IMO). Shame as that'd put me off your products if I was looking to buy a light.
<Joined this thread late> Is surf-mat having somebodies love child and breaking up an other wise happy home whilst stealing money from OAPs 😕

This is yet another thread that's descended into not-so-subtle advertising IMO - unless of course STW towers is getting some kind of kick-back. it's one thing to give a review, biased or otherwise, but it gets a little incessant after a while...
EDIT - actually, not sure it's had to descend very far into advertising territory TBH
