Also has anyone actually seen a review for these new models ? I've yet to find anyone talking in any detail about the changes (e.g. the revised button) of the new models on sale here.
EDIT: Reading more of the review I posted above, it appears that the previous model actually had quite an increased runtime with 2x AA's over the 14500 that he tested with : http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?366683-Olight-S15-Baton-XM-L2-1xAA-or-2xAA-or-3xAA-Review&p=4254551&viewfull=1#post4254551 Perhaps more importantly in addition to increased runtime.. output is increased (over a single AA though not over a 14500). I guess it makes sense since the using an extension tube would have the batteries working not in parallel but serially where a higher voltage would exist.
Extension tube likely makes it a bit unwieldly though; the reviewer didn't mention it and neither did selfbuilt in his review of an earlier model : http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?367813 selfbuilt says he thinks of that model of S15 as a dual AA light with the ability to be a single AA or a 14500 light due to the ability of having an extension tube. /OCD
