NLD Firefly X1S 2700k
My first NLD post, but not my first flashlight. I wanted a warm light for the bedroom at night and for camping, something with a bit of throw, but also enough spill to light a large area. I love Anduril 2, USB-C charging and magnetic tailcaps, so I went with the X1S with FFL5009R 2700k emitter and ordered the optional TIR and orange peel reflector.
Here's a little comparison of all three beam patterns. Pictures are taken with my cellphone, so they aren't perfect. I had to change the colors in the app to fit better the reality, but it's still not perfect. Also, the super narrow TIR has a small dark dot right in the center, which is a bit annoying.
I'm gonna use the OP reflector, but I do hope to find a fitting smooth reflector to see the difference. I bought a second OP, just in case I find a way to make it smooth, but I still don't know anything about that.

Nice light! I personally prefer the OP reflector over TIR as well. Its just more clean.
