This isn't really a review. I don't know what it is. Me messing with a flashlight I guess.
From my EDC thread:
I got my Sunwayman Mr. Elfin M11r today. I like it so far. My biggest concern was the magnetic ring. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being loose and 10 being tight, the ring is a 4. It's pretty easy to turn and I'll have to see how it goes with it coming on in the pocket. Here are some pics compared to my trusty Jetbeam BC10. The main reason I was looking for another light, was a low light mode. The M11r says it's 4 lumen. That's low enough for me. The Nano has 10 lumen and that's pretty bright for night eyes.
It's smaller than the BC10, but I don't really care one way or another. I didn't mind the size of the BC10 so it was a non-factory.
The M11r has a XM-L LED. Another non-factor for me. The XP-G in the BC10 was fine. I really have no idea about the differences XM-L and XP-G so whatever.
The Ti clip on the M11r is relatively weak. I have to double check the screws holding it in, but it slides on/off a pocket a lot easier than the BC10. It is also deep pocket and yes you guessed it, a non-factor. I hear a lot of bad things about the clip on the BC10. While the pic below has an RRT0 clip on the BC10, the bit hanging out of the pocket never gave me trouble. I'll have to see if the deep pocket carry on the M11r gives me trouble drawing it from my pocket.
I really like the I, II, III on the cotrol ring. If the ring was stiffer, it would be perfect. It also doesn't have that terrible ramp-up/delay start that the V11r has. Maybe if I add a clicky from the V11r, the ramp start problem will return.
Cool pic of the reflector and LED on the 4 lumen low (I) setting.
