The tail end has a spring, but the head has only a short button. The threads on the head end are unanodized, triangle cut, and smooth enough. This would allow maintenance on (or replacement of) the reverse clicky switch. It’s also possible to unscrew the tailcap. You’ll likely not have to pay any special care about it, but just don’t get crazy and accidentally remove the bezel instead of the head, for cell swaps. So when unscrewing the head, you have to be cognizant that the bezel may also be removed. Remember, the head is what gets removed for cell swaps. Undoubtedly, adding this would add size.Īlso one more point on the head. And when place this way, the branding is all upside down.Īnother small asterisk is that the bezel is flush – no light escapes when headstanding. Yes, the light will tailstand (technically) but more often than not I place the light on a surface in this orientation (head down). The pocket clip is held in place with only screws.Īnother small thing about this light… I feel like the branding on the body and clip is upside down. I would rather have this knurling (which is good knurling, by the way), on the head where I need to grip to separate the parts. Knurling on the body seen below is in an area that I really don’t need it. The switch sits nicely under the edge of the tailcap. I bet there’s some very special point to all these bends… but in the end, it just looks cool (or “weird” – either you buy in, or you don’t). There’s nothing else like this available on any other light, as far as I know. It looks like a Nichia 219b, but there’s a possibility something else is hiding in there. You may know right off hand what this is, and I strongly suspected. Thus, the teardrops are functional, providing grip. You can see above that the head has some teardrops, which is a “traditional flashlight feature.” A sort of a nice touch, especially since it’s the head that will be removed to swap cells. The finish is important – the blue anodizing is very nice and in my copy has held up nicely. A simple reverse clicky, and some nice finishing touches. The Aeon is “just an aluminum light.” It has a simple user interface (3 modes, no trickery). With my package was also purchased the box of cells seen above. Muyshondt MPC-CR2L “Power Cell” CR2 cell.Muyshondt Aeon Mk III Aluminum flashlight.I test output and such in PVC tubes!! Please consider claims within 10% of what I measure to be perfectly reasonable (accurate, even). I don’t have $10,000 or even $1,000 worth of testing equipment. ^ Measurement disclaimer: I am an amateur flashlight reviewer. Muyshondt Aeon Mk III Aluminum Flashlight Long Review The Big Table Muyshondt Aeon Mk III Aluminum Flashlight I also really don’t like the price of $295. I do like the Nichia 219b, but I don’t like that the whole marketing scheme doesn’t include necessary information like the emitter. I don’t like the mid-mode PWM (it’s fairly bad). There are a few things I don’t like about it, but overall, the light is a winner for me. Short Review of the Muyshondt Aeon Mk III Aluminum Flashlightīroadly speaking, I do love this little light. Titanium has “turned” and “Darkwell.” Copper has “polished” and “relic.” Aluminum has “midnight black” and “indigo blue” (seen here.)īoth of the aluminum options of the Aeon (Deep Indigo, seen here, and Midnight Black) go for a price of $295. In the current version, there are three metals: titanium, copper, and aluminum (seen here).Īmong those three metals, there are two finishes each. I’m not trying to cover revisions 1 and 2 here. First of all, this is the third (at least) revision – Mk III. There are a number of versions of the Aeon. Unfortunately, the page for aluminum appears to be dead. Official Specs and Features of the Muyshondt Aeon Mk III Aluminum Flashlight Here’s more info about this tiny light, and probably (possibly?) some information you haven’t ever seen before!
