Hey all-
the Cannon Arrived today!!
First impressions:
smoooooth FOCUSable beam. didn't know about the focus, that's nice

brings back unfond memories of mags, and puts them to shame!
My first LuxV. I like it!
excellent weight, build quality, and chaging system. this is a first rate product.
Hotspot, as mentioned, is nice and wide.
Brightness is good, but that wide hotspot really makes this unique among my lights. Now I'll have to start reading about high-flux LuxVs..
switch is a bit confusing! but works well when you understand it.
beamshots and more extensive notes are going to have to wait, unfortunately. I just got some bloodwork back from the doctor and I apparently have some significant and mysterious infection... and I feel like it. May very well not be able to go to this wedding, which I've been looking forward to all summer.

thank you again to Andrew, and to all of you who entered this raffle. MBF ++++!
