I just picked up a BaldrVN Mini (modified by Vinh Nguyen)

I already own an original one. I bought one when they were just released and were 40% off on a flash sale. I picked this one up for a friend, but decided to pick up the modified version since it is now available.

He replaced the XPL 6500K LED with a dedomed XPG2 in PDT (premium dedome tint - he handpicks them with the less green and yellow in it - when dedomed, many led's tint turn more greenish). You can also pick an XPL iLED in a 5000K or 4000K and also a diffused lens if you want but I wanted the most throw with is the dedomed XPG2 PDT.

The candela goes from the stock 4225cd to 9Kcd. For reference, the TLR7/8 is rated at 5Kcd.

I gotta say. Its pretty nice for such a tiny weaponlight.

Here are some pics and beamshots. You can use the dogs for reference. They were chasing the green laser on the fence. It is a LOT more visible and really bright when seen with the eye then the camera shows. Enjoy!
