Lumapower IncenDio V.3 Upgrade

[nuphoria]

In my current phase as an EDC RCR123 light hunter, I decided to pull the trigger in this little cutie:

I was quite tempted by the previous V.3, but this upgraded model has included an extra level, so there's 4 to choose from ranging from 3 - 100%. Useful eh? I think a proper low, low is essential for EDC flashlights.
They have also put a nice new XP-G R5 in it which will give you a rather impressive 250lm on an RCR123 battery.

The only negative review about these lights seems to be the pocket clip, which is apparently a bit flimsy. As it also comes with a lanyard attachment, I think there are enough options to tinker around with. I'm not too crazy about the green button either but I'm sure I can learn to live with it!

It's currently on it's way from Hong Kong, so I shall withhold further comment until I've had some quality alone time with it 


The other current contenders for my pocket time might end up being an EX10 or a Quark 123 regular. I also like the Liteflux LF3XT, and for a nice pocket thrower, the Jetbeam Raptor RRT-0.... need to save more pennies for these I think!

I had to rule out things like the otherwise great Fenix PD30 as it can't run on RCRs

All good choices, btw, I'm pretty sure the PD30 can run on RC123s...

Is the green button glow in the dark?

[gunga]

Yes, it's glow in the dark, you can swap for a black one (in the package) that sticks out more for easier activation but no tailstanding.  YOu can see my review of the 3 level model on CPF (Candlepowerforums).

I got a 4 level upgrade pill (not XP-G though) and it helps a lot.  THe clip is pretty weak though.

Well, if it glows I can live with it!

I haven't seen any clip mods for this one - any ideas?

We'll need a mini review when you get it please

[nuphoria]

Indeed, and I'll try and include a pic of whomever gets blinded by it first
