Here's an in depth Rogue 1 Review from CPF, should be more or less linear in the way it acts

I'm old. How do I order different color? I'm trying to order one of each and I can only get a single color at a time?

Now I see that several sources sell them for less than a dollar, and decent quality batteries from $1.50. I still like the AA cells for my purposes. I can't open a drawer around the house that doesn't have a couple of those AA's rolling around in it. When my light arrives I am attaching it to my Sig 556 for some real shock testing. NC Star Tri-rail barrel mount laser sight adapters available for about $10 will mount this light on most long gun barrels with ease and versatility. Longer screws may be required to fit your particular barrel diameter.

You should check out that Youtube video to get an idea of the size of this flashlight. I don't think it would be suitable as a rifle-mounted light simply on the basis of size and weight, not even considering that it wasn't likely made for the purpose so might break under recoil.

Select 3 in the pulldown, then it will let you pick the colors for each unit.

C'mon mods, this deserves a quality post designation . . .

I refuse to buy another flashlight and it has nothing to do with my wife threatening me that just one more and me and my flashlight collection have to move into the shed forever.Yup it's my idea not to buy another one.

In for 2. One for me, and one for my flashlight obsessed 2 year old.

Not sure if you're disagreeing or just further elaborating but "Q5", for those that don't already know, denotes the "bin" or batch/category of brightness of the LED, which I believe in this case is an XR-E. (In other words, its a Cree XR-E (Q5).)

I looked at this and thought "I have enough flashlights". . .I don't even know me anymore!!!

Oh...BEAR ATTACK! it is.

Here let me shine some light on things.

I own this flashlight and like it.

The downside is that the aluminum "ribs" on the body are a bit sharper than I like - they feel like they could cut if held wrong or if you have a slip (great for holding with gloves, though).

Throws good light, and the button is very tactile.

That being said, I've since moved to higher brightness cree lights. Take a look at models like the Nebo Redline or Mini Cree models on Ebay for comparison of styles.

Cheaper than decent led upgrades to my mini mags.

I think should be able to put lithium batteries in these?

I agree! A Quality Post! (made me giggle)

I have the plastic version of this light (Modus 2) and its a great flashlight.

I'm in for three. Just wish I hadnt missed out on the gray ones.

Holy cow, I already received a shipping notice, thats the fastest I've ever seen anything ship from any woot site in 7 years here, color me impressed!

Just received mine about an hour ago from the USPS and it just shipped yesterday! Very fast, but it comes from Amazon and I'm only 2 hours from the distribution center.. but still, VERY fast turnaround. Is there anywhere to give the seller a positive rating? I'm impressed.

Got mine today too, the "green" ones. More of a yellow-green. Anyway, they do seem pretty solid and are quite bright.

My order was cancelled? siesta guys, nobody told me - is it because I live in Alaska?
Just say so, I will no longer come here anymore.

Why isn't my state/country/province listed; do you ship internationally?
No, we do not ship outside of the 48 contiguous United States at this time. We do not ship to Canada, Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, nor to Maggie's Nipples, Wyoming or Assinippi, Massachusetts at this time.

shirt.woot does ship outside the lower 48, and I believe they ship to APO/FPO for the rest, barring items containing lithium.

So... sorry.

Mine hasn't even been shipped yet. I may get them by August. :-(

I'm in the same boat. Not shipped yet and no indication or reason why....

edit: ok, I received the shipping info. Sucks for me it's days after others have received theirs, but not that big of a deal.

Says my order was shipped on 7/20, but the tracking number provided only says "item is not trackable on this site" at USPS.com No sign of the lights I ordered yet...contacted service@woot.com so hopefully they can sort out what is going on with the shipment. Usually everything goes so smoothly from Woot too.

Just got mine yesterday. They are quite bright and quite sturdy. I'm planning on keeping one in the car and the other in the house.

got mine today.. lets see how it holds during camping this weekend

I just got mine today, the beam is incredible. For ten bucks, I am more then satisfied. Kind of wished I'd bought one for the car glove box as well.

Did you say 10 bucks? I don't think so.

Just realized now after having the flashlight for almost a week that its technically not the one woot advertised. It was advertised as a 10/100 lumen, water proof to 1m, and 5.8oz. The box of my light reads 7 lumen low and 130 lumen high, 6.0oz, and it just says 'waterproof' no distance. Ended up with a better then advertised light, Curious to know if others had the same outcome.

theeassassin wrote:Curious to know if others had the same outcome.

I got the same 130-lumen one (in green). I believe the only downside is the newer model doesn't come with a lanyard like the older, original model did.

I still don't have mine!!!!

Is anyone else having an issue?

Same for me. So I figure three possible scenarios:

1. Woot!'s copy is wrong (wouldn't be the first time that happened
2. Icon mislabeled the packaging resulting in a Woot! sale.
3. We really did receive a "better than advertised" flashlight and should be happy and keep our mouths shut, since others may have received the 100/10 lumen versions.

So, anyone know which it is?

Mine came a week and a half ago. Contact service@woot.com and check. They have them for sale again as a side deal at SportWoot! so they should be able to get them to you.
