TigerLight Announces the Generation 4 Lamp Module

The TigerLight Generation 4 lamp module uses the same lamp and reflector as the Gen2 and Gen3 lamp modules, but changes the focus slightly in order to create a tighter, longer-throwing beam, which still has plenty of spill light, and which is not so narrow as to prevent one from seeing the context of the object being illuminated. Reviewers who have advance samples of these Gen4 lamp modules are raving:

"I believe that TigerLight has absolutely NAILED that sweet spot with the Gen4 LA. Even with all of the options at my disposal, the Gen4 TL LA is one of my very favorite flashlight beams. This LA will throw like crazy. [ . . . ] I have never seen throw like this from a 2 inch reflector."

"I find that the Gen4 TL LA is hands down one of the most useful beams I have ever experienced. When I was first out testing this LA, it was in rain and fog and cold, and I felt the exact same sense of command and capability as with MUCH more powerful lights, but with the wonderful security of knowing that I had a full 66+ minutes of runtime at my disposal. When shined out at distant objects, the light hitting the ground at my feet was just perfect for avoiding rocks and holes and other obstacles, and looking down did not temporarily blind me, [ . . . ]"

"Quite simply, this is one of the most useful and superlative beams out there, and it brings the TigerLight to near perfection, to the fullness of what it was meant to be.

And things get even better when you add the new premium battery pack to the package.

Now, don't get me wrong! If you have a TL already and you are happy with the throw of your current lamp assembly, then don't feel as if you have a second rate TigerLight. Not at all! You may even prefer the LA you already have for close up work around the house or indoors or for doing block searches, or what not. But if you appreciate a tight-beam and the best throw possbile, together with a big enough hot-spot for context and with a nice amount of spill light, then the Gen4 LA is for you."

"Tigerlight has a home run with this lamp assembly! It's bright, it's white, and for a semi-smooth reflector, it looks really good! "

I did an hour burn in real world use the other night. Well, other world use, anyway; it was Halloween! My children and I did 60 minutes of trick or treating, and I kept my TL with Gen4 LA burning the entire time.

Well, it performed very, very well! The tight beam of this LA was just right as there was considerable ambient light from decorative displays, streetlights, headlights, etc. I used the TL to light the path for my son; over curbs, lawns, around rocks and trees, etc. [ . . .] I could light his way each time no matter how far the house was from the street (where I was standing) because of the Gen4. I got the expected oohs and aahs from passersby with flashlight envy (they were toting plastic 2 cell lights predominantly). [ . . . ] Even a couple of police officers took note of my light with it's very visible, very smooth and tight beam and asked me what it was.

My parent's neighborhood where I grew up is great for trick or treating. Lots of participating homes, all decorated and in close proximity. Lots of costumes, too, which I nicely illuminated with my TL when they were at a reasonable distance so as not to blind the owners. With the Gen4, that means half way down the street. I could hear people comment from down the street about the bright flashlight that was illuminating them at distance. I heard kids say stuff like, "that guy must have a spotlight!".

I never realized it before, but the TL OC is considerably lighter than the SL-20X and definitely the MC. Made carrying it for that length of time quite easy and very enjoyable.

I was going to go for longer, but my son was getting tired, and already had a plastic pumpkin swollen with loot. Sigh. Ok, I guess we can go home now...
