    By law, you are required to turn on your headlights if it's raining in Sweden.

    How the hell am I supposed to know if it's raining in Sweden?

    Opinions on this?? seems a top light.
    Looks like a huge amount of flood light. Very big and heavy. Would not lend itself to rifle/scope mounting. Pretty sure it cannot be de-domed so likely to have bright white glarey light.

    Yea definitely not an ideal thrower. M24 would be more suited in that regard. Is this thread only for guys mountable flashlights?

    Not at all. It's for anything useful for illumination, from walking, to tent, to spotting and shooting. There are plenty of uses for all sorts of torches and headlamps.

    I think the colours (Green and red) are not coloured lenses, but rather the colour of the LED emmitter

    Brought a set of camera filters of trade me and taped he red one on the front. Can't remember the measurements but I got the one that's a few mm too big so lots of insulation tape needed!

    Hmmm. Don't want to splash out big money just to get different colour options.

    Wasn't impressed that much with either colour option.

    I have one of these, yes heavy and not really a good option for a de-dome (4x led chip). But FAAAAAAAAAAA it trows out some lumens! Can light up a whole tree at once. Heavy but ok for 2-3 hours of hauling around a farm. Good for possums and rabbits within .22 or shot gun range. Not a lot of throw (less than half the Maxtorch) so wouldn't be my choice for deer or rabbits at long range.
