krawnden 1,036 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Mine just arrived - woo hoo! Lucky I'm not at work today so was here to answer the door to dhl. Had a quick play; initial observations - # you need to take each battery out and remove the labels at each end # the batteries say Acebeam not Panasonic - are these the ones we were expecting? I thought we were getting Panasonic? # torch looks very well made and sits nicely in the hand. Very smooth thread mechanism to open the battery compartment # easy to adjust the different brightness settings # brightest setting does look to have quite a wide spill but until tested at night can't really judge # nicely made belt holster though doubt I'd actually use it as I reckon it's probably small enough to sit nicely in a coat pocket # lanyard a nice touch though again I doubt I'd actually use it out lamping as it's quite short meaning you'd need to keep the torch pretty close to your chest in use - I like to have a bit more arm movement # 3 different charger attachments - USB, mains and car cigarette lighter # 2 spare O rings All in all looks great, and a nice sturdy carry case to boot that should keep it safe while not in use. Look forward to trying it out at night... Once again, big thanks to FD for all his hard work and effort in setting this up. 5 Quote Link to post

Where is your parcel now mate? Mine was showing as still in HK only yesterday, so based on how quickly it arrived from there I'd say there's a good chance that even you boys in the land of kilts and Irn-Bru shouldn't have to wait too long.... P.S. Forgot to say earlier - no customs payment on mine 1 Quote Link to post
