Have you tried the newer micro version of the same light? How does it compare?

I haven't but this light overall is pretty weak. I tried to use it for mountain biking in the evening and it was insufficient. I am instead purchased a 4000 light off of ebay for 30 bucks with a rechargeable battery pack and it was awesome. Only drawback is that it interferes with computer.

I have not tried the micro, i like the 2 watt blaze (minimum 2watt recommended) BUT you will need two to really see the road travelling at high speed, one is ok if you are a slow rider. You will be seen, it is plenty bright to be seen but the beam is narrow. Two work well for me because i like to have one flash and the other steady.....i would buy again..its reliable ...one light flashing is enough to grab attention, day or night....hope this helps..good luck

Mine still works. It is not bright at all. And it's tilted now from being in my pocket. I have to hold it at a certain angle and very close to the pts eye because it is so light. I just use my floor's flashlight. Really the white organizer and scissors is what I use daily. And I love it. It fits into scrub pocket, absorbs any pen leaks and keeps everything upright.

I haven't compare it but I have a friend that owns a Lumix, I might do the test. Let you know.

Sorry, I don't know. It seems every month there are new and more powerful models, in all brands. I'm happy with the cheap $12 Costco Duracell 500 lumen C battery one, except for the annoying square light pattern.

I agree. in the store the LED versions were not as crisp/bright and the colors were goofy. This was the same in 2 Best Buy stores and Circuit City stores. I currently have the bulb model but am experiencing noise from the color wheel. This would not happen with the LED version. I called Samsung to see if they planned on releasing a new 56 in LED and the girl was clueless, yawned on the phone and was of no help. I emailed Samsung and no response. I am not very impressed with that co so far.

I have been told/read that the original has a "whiter" light, and that the light fall off is more fluid, where as the ultra has "rings" people say. Not having the original I can not say for sure beyond that.

Has anyone else tried the "bright" mode trick? Any comments on the difference...

Yes, mine was the same, but we still love it compared to the other ones out there that you can buy. It gives out way more light with strobe effect compare to other comparable products that we've tried.

I have the mini. I have purchased two for these off of amazon and been very satisfied.

I haven't noticed anything different in the beam other than the upgrade being a good deal brighter. I own both the xt11 and the upgraded version and think they are great lights. I am happy with the upgrade and feel it was worth it.

If you always use your Maglite Mini LED flashlight in the tightest spot mode, then you probably will NOT like this Victorinox LED flashlight - its beam is much wider without a well-defined bright spot.I'll upload a beam shot (to the Customer Images section) when I got a chance.[Update a few hours later]I just uploaded the comparison beam shots. The difference is even more dramatic than I expected.

First of all the light produced by the LED is pure white rather than the more yellowish tones associated with an incandescent bulb. Secondly the reflector that comes with the LED bulb assembly has gotten an upgrade over the original version, the light beam is more focused. Trust me this is a sweet upgrade. When my Dad and brother saw mine, they both upgraded they're flashlights. Well worth the money. Not to mention how it extends your battery life by 4 hours give or take.

Sorry that I don't know. I returned the micro without even opening it since my old one came back to life!

The one advertised here is 600 Lumens. The XM L2 version is 820 Lumens. I find this one has just a slightly tighter beam than the more powerful one. Both are great and in real-life the difference is negligible. For $66.82, I'd rather have the newer version though. Now, there is a third version still rated at 820 Lumens which has a modified tail switch called a 'hard switch.' You can also buy just the new tail switch. It has improved accessibility to the secondary (strobe and mode) switch by having a flat lever over it which can be easier to get to with gloves on, etc. You can also buy a more aggressive strike bezel which should fit them all.

That depends on what you mean by better! Each of those lights has a few features that are unique. If you are looking for the light that is brighter and has better throw, then the TK75 is a better choice. However if you are interested in something that is a little more portable and features separately adjustable LEDs, you might consider the TK51.

Rats...I just realized you said 4/3 and not micro 4/3. I've been trying to get the LED to turn on automatically with a half shutter press with my E-PL1, a micro 4/3. Sorry if I've misled you.

It is very floody compared to the average tactical flashlight on the market. If you want more flood then the Zebralight H502 is the floodiest light I've bought and completely outclasses the Sc600 it in that sense due to the emitter being so close to the lens but then it has very little throw. The throw of the Sc600 Mark 2 is good and I haven't had an issue with it spotting things far away but the flood is why I got it. It is a good balance between flood and throw while being more on the floody side. I would say its a near perfect beam pattern for everyday tasks and needs and doesn't leave me feeling like it needs more flood or throw. Your mileage may vary.
