Bright side of usable setting for low light: no projection. Reticle readily visible

Brightest setting: light projected maybe 1ft. forward of objective. Dot/reticle readily visible looking from muzzle to objective lens.
Bright side of usable low light setting: no projection of light, reticle not readily visible from muzzle end.
This without killflash installed and covers up....
Interesting, thanks for posting that. If you weren't already aware, however, the purpose of the killflash isn't so much to keep the reticle from being visible from the muzzle end, but rather to hide reflections from the objective lens which can compromise your position to an enemy. A killflash is also known as an ARD, an Anti Reflection Device. FWIW.
