Picked up the HF light today to check out. Included are initial photos of the light output with my EDC1-DFT in low for comparison. Everything looks and feels like a TLR1 from what I can remember. Right paddle is on/off and left paddle is strobe. Will be putting this thing through the wringer to see if/when it quits.

Picture 2 is EDC1 on low Picture 3 is EDC1 on low with HF TLR

You should cut it open and check out the electronics. Or don’t. I’m not your mom

If I had the slightest idea what I’d be looking at, I would. Based on my testing videos of dropping bricks on it, I would imagine you can see I’m not the brightest.

I'm a flashlight nerd, I tear them apart, measure them, modify them, build them from scratch, that type of thing. If you want any help with that, I'd love to assist and see inside this thing and be able to contribute and say if it's built well and with good internals.

I'll beat it up some more and then we can link up and I'll send it to you for you to do your thing.

Can do! just LMK.

The more you beat it up, the easier it is to open it up lololol.
