You can find the full Review on my website in german and english.
It is also published on BLF and TLF.
The light can be purchased here.
Summary
I tested the light for quite a while, including a vacation. It performed very well and showed no issues. On the contrary, it was a surprisingly reliable companion.
No extreme use cases, but wind, rain, snow, and cold didn’t bother it and the fan did its job inconspicuously.
Sure, there’s no High CRI, but for a light designed for output, that’s acceptable for me.
The beam profile is near perfect in my eyes, flood and spot work great individually and combined.
Ergonomics are good for me: switch down in the right hand, switch up in the left. That way I can easily reach both switches in any situation.
Bottom line: I really like this light! Am I perfectly happy? Not quite—if I had one wish, I’d love a tail switch similar to the X4. The shape of the light constantly invites me to hold it at shoulder height, where a tail switch would be the perfect addition. Maybe we’ll see that in a V2—until then, the X1 Pro will be getting plenty of use!
