Jon sent me a prototype of his newest upgrade and I tested it out in my living room and outside in the yard. I already had the reflectors installed, and liked them, so I was curious to see in which way this new upgrade could possibly improve the StenLight more.
Even though Jon had not told me anything about what to expect, I was immediately impressed by the improvement. The transition between the two beams is smoother, so the center does not "blind" me or distract me anymore. It is definitely brighter in each of the settings, both for throw (far away) and for spread (close up and peripheral). At the highest setting it showed better detail on the faraway trees than the regular reflectored Stenlight (which I used as a comparison). It's the best of all possible combinations so far! I'm going caving in a week, and can't wait to test it out "for real". Thanks for striving to perfect our caving world, Jon! -Yvonne Droms
