SureFire M3LT

Anyone have one that they can give a review on ?

I pretty much have all surefire lights, and am getting one soon, and wanted to see if anyone had this light.

Much appreciated opinions and comments.

I have one and love it. This thing throws a beam like you would not believe. The 2 stage with a high and low is really nice also in my opinion. On low it is 70 lumens and high it is 400 lumens. I have been waiting a long time to get one of these for my rep kit and after testing this light it more than meets my expectations. I will try to take some pics of the beam in my backyard tonight.

I went out with my girlfriend last night so I will get pics tonight and hopefully get them up tonight or tomorrow morning. This light is bright.

How does it compare to the M6?

Yes, how does the throw compare with a TurboHead incandescent?

Up to now, I haven't seen any LED that I would prefer for long range (175+ yards) in variable climate conditions.
Even if the LED or multiple LED configurations give as much illumination as a TurboHead, the "backscatter" "glare" "reflection", or whatever you want it call, makes them far less desirable, at least in my admittedly limited experience.

Okay so I took some pics in my backyard and I am terrible at night shots with my point and shoot. The M3LT has just as much throw at the M6 with the 250 lumen bulb but I don't consider that a fair comparison seeing M3LT is a lot brighter. The one thing I will say is the M3LT has a much nicer beam pattern compared to the M6 because it doesn't have that spherical shape to it.

If anyone has some tricks to using a point and shoot to take night pics shoot me a pm. I am using a canon SD1100 IS with no luck.
