SLS Toby Torch 800 lumens?

If the brightness isn't adjustable, then what do they mean when they say that, "This gives the light a 1 hour burn time at max brightness and a run time of 4 hours of usable light. "? Does it burn at max brightness for 1 hour and then gradually die down for three more?

with regular alkaline batteries, yes.

with regular alkaline batteries, yes.

What about with rechargeables?

I only use rechargeables so it's been about a decade since I even had to buy batteries, hence my silly question about C cells.

Haven't tried yet. I'll try my old NiCd's next week. But my intent is to find a high performance rechargeable option that will extend burn times at full brightness as much as possible.

Update: My girlfriend bought the Toby Torch from our LDS a while back, and tonight she decided she wanted to paint it yellow. In the process of preparing it for painting, she removed the Toby Torch sticker, and found that it was covering... The XTAR logo.

The SLS Toby Torch is a rebranded XTAR D06 with a cree XM-L T6 bulb.

What are people's thoughts on XTAR?

What glove are you using in these pictures? The DRIS neoprene glove doesn't seem to be as sturdy.

no. It's all or nothing.

Yes. I tied the light to the glove so that I can operate it single hand. It's worked perfectly fine one handed.

Just to wrap this thread up, and so there's no ambiguity, THE SLS TOBY TORCH IS AN $80 XTAR D06 WITH A $90 STICKER ON IT. SLS is ordering them from China, changing the label on the box, slapping an SLS sticker on the light (to cover the xtar logo) and selling it to Vancouver area dive shops, who retail it with batteries, case, and charger for $170 when the exact same package (with original labels) could be had by mail from China for $80 shipped. Caveat emptor.
