You put the clip on the other side.

The version I bought has a lockout mode, so it's not needed to cover the buttons with a clip, like that photo shows - but I know some versions of this light don't have a lockout mode. The first version suffered from high parasitic drain in lockout mode.
 
I think I'm gonna order another one of these to give away. I'm extremely impressed with it.....I like it better than my Sandy XPLHI

That 7000k Color Temp is the best

Light

My turn.

Picked up a Lil Larry Camo at the local Battery Warehouse a few months ago for 19.99, came with NEBO AAA batteries. Magnet base, 250 Lumen COB, 2 light levels and flashing red LED. I use it all the time.

I bet that's a heckuva light.

Thanks but I wonder how reliable they are.
I'd expect reliability to be the same, but if the UI really is (High-Middle-Low-Strobe-SOS) with no option to hide the blinky modes, then I much prefer the Convoy UI.

Can I stay with one of you guys when I get kicked out of the house?

I am certainly not a fan of stupid UI. I want the light to turn on as soon as I press the button and turn off as soon as I press the button *without* changing the mode. And unless the user guide is imprinted on the body of the light, I don't want to remember to click 7 times for the light to go in to low mode.

I have a feeling that once the novelty wears off, this is NOT going to be your favorite light.

It does that, but in addition, it can do a ton of other stuff, and much of it is user-configurable. Obviously a light for geeks, not for your grandma.

If a light is only to have a single button, you have no choice but to use multiple clicks to access different features. But most of the basic operations are achieved with one or two clicks. The girl that writes the firmware is a veteran - she's written a ton of them in the past for lights like Convoy S2+/C8 (w/Biscotti firmware), BLF A6, and earlier Emisar models, so this is not her first rodeo. But again, this light isn't for everyone.

I like the form factor - a 26650 tube sits more comfortably in your hand than a typical 18650 tube. Plus, the max lumen output is just crazy cool, even if very temporary.

Which 26650 cells are you decided on?

By the way, my first "high powered" LED light was direct driven meager Luxeon running on 3AA cell (Rayovac? aluminum tube with fluted black rubber grip and rear clicky) light . I think I paid $55 almost couple of decades ago and had to order from some guy in Hawaii while I was a prolific CFPer.

I ordered the Liitokala cell that Int'l Outdoors offers with this light, so that I did not have to pay separate shipping charges. It can handle high current, although there are slightly better cells out there that one could buy, like the Shockli cell that MTN Electronics carries. I think this light can pull more than 15 Amps from a cell.

I see Gearbest has a 7135x8 on sale now. Is there much of difference between that and the 7135x6 ?

Roughly about 30% more light output - hard to tell a difference with a naked eye unless you are comparing them side by side, assuming they both have the same emitter.
 
My first 26650 cell is here.

And so is my first 26650 light. I love the form factor - fits in my hand like a glove. The light output in turbo is just insane, but it heats up very quickly as well. Thankfully you can modify the thermal config if you find it too warm for comfort. The auxiliary LEDs are kind of neat, too.

Basic UI operation is pretty easy. For all the config stuff - there is a big diagram as well as a lengthy user manual.

How in the God's world did you get those reflection streaks? And that teal color; where is that one coming from?

Now the important question about light output:- About/less/more than one car headlight?

Good point....maybe I'll pass on it.
