The Avenger GX is the latest 1xAAA light in the Lumapower "EDC" family of easy-to-use, easy-to-carry lights.
Like the Incendio (1xCR123A/RCR), Connexion (1xAA, 2xAA), and Encore lights (1x18650) I have reviewed previously, this light uses a simple three-stage current-controlled output circuit (i.e. no strobe or SOS modes). While typically not the brightest members of their class, the EDC line of lights usually show excellent output/runtime efficiency in a remarkably small form factor. Let's see how the Avenger GX does ...
The Avenger GX packaging is similar to the other EDC models. The light comes with a forward-clicky GITD tailcap installed, and the package contains a replacement twisty tailcap, manual, warranty card, keychain clip, wrist strap, two pocket clips (one black, one stainless steel), spare o-rings and black clicky tailcap cover. Not shown are the two 900mAh NiMH batteries Lumapower bundled with mine for testing purposes.
(from left to right: 1xAAA Duracell, LF2XT Natural, Lumapower Avenger GX, Fenix L0D, JetBeam Jet-µ, Nitecore EZAA, LF2XT Black)
Although a bit long for a 1xAAA light with the protruding forward clicky switch tailcap installed, the twisty tailcap lowers the height considerably. Overall weight and size feel fine to me, in either format.
Weight: 22.9g (with Clicky switch), 22.0g (with twisty switch)
Length x Width: 93.8mm (with clicky switch) or 86.7mm (with twisty switch) x 15.2mm (bezel widest portion)
Clicky feel is fairly stiff, so accidental momentary activation is less likely to occur (and you need a fair amount of force to lock-on). Note that there is no hole in the clicky tailcap for keychain carry (only on the twisty tailcap), so you need to wrap the keychain clip holder around the pocket clip on the clicky-version if you want to carry it on a keychain.
Fit and finish on all portions is very good on my sample. The labels are clear and the type-III hard anodizing had no chips or flaws. Note that the head screw threads are anodized, so head lock-out is possible (no anodizing on tailcap threads).
Knurling is fairly generous on the head – combined with the concentric raised portions, grip is quite good. The optional pocket clips would provide an anti-roll feature – they fit fairly snuggly, so there is little risk of them popping off accidentally.
And of course, the light can tailstand in the twisty version.
The light uses the new smaller Cree XP-E emitter, currently with a cool white R2 output bin. I would estimate my sample is a WG-WH tint (i.e. on the warmer yellow-green end of the cool white tints), but of course yours could be different. For more information on tints and color perception, please see my Colour tint comparison and the summary LED tint charts found here.
Typically, most XP-E emitters I've seen have come with textured reflectors, thus virtually eliminating any potential Cree "rings" in the beam. I don't know why, but the Avenger GX comes with a smooth reflector. This produces a more sharply defined hotspot, but also introduces a few rings into the beam.
Comparison Beamshots
All lights are on 100% on Sanyo Eneloop (NiMH), about 0.5 meters from a white wall.
The camera is accentuating the tint difference a bit, but the Fenix L0D (older Cree P4 model) does indeed have a slight bluish Cool White tint. The Lumapower Avenger GX is not quite as warm as it seems, although still on warm end of Cool White (maybe a WG-WH tint). The LF2XT is not as orange as the pic above suggests – a lot more yellow (4C neutral tint).
User Interface
The Avenger GX is very similar to all the Lumapower EDC lights – they all use a classic keep-it-simple interface.
With the forward clicky switch tailcap installed, press the clicky for momentary on, click for lock on. The 3 output levels advance in sequence from Lo to Hi in repeating fashion by soft-pressing on the clicky.
Light has a memory mode to retain the last setting used when you turn it off (i.e. comes back on at that level). One improvement is that the memorization delay is only 1 sec now (it was ~2-3 secs on the original Incendio/Encore members of the family).
UPDATE July 6, 2009: Unlike other Lumapower EDC lights, the Avenger GX uses pulse-width-modulation (PWM) for its low and medium modes. This is common on 1xAAA lights, since it is apparently difficult to fit a current-controlled driver in such a small head. I tested the frequency I found it to be 1.31 kHz (i.e. 1310 cycles per second) on both Med and Lo on NiMH batteries.
Avenger GX on Lo
Avenger GX on Hi
Testing Method: All my output numbers are relative for my home-made light box setup, a la Quickbeam's flashlightreviews.com method. You can directly compare all my relative output values from different reviews - i.e. an output value of "10" in one graph is the same as "10" in another. All runtimes are done under a cooling fan, except for the extended run Lo/Min modes (i.e. >12 hours) which are done without cooling.
Throw values are the square-root of lux measurements taken at 1 meter from the lens, using a light meter.
Throw/Output Summary Chart:
Note in the comparison above that my Fenix L0D is an early edition with a Cree P4. Based on a 350mA drive current (where Cree Output bins are determined), a Cree Q4 emitter would be expected to be ~25% brighter on average, and a Cree R2 would be ~40% brighter on average, for the same drive current. Note there is typically a ~7% output range over which an emitter is binned, so those numbers are just representational averages.
Like the other members of the Lumapower EDC line, max output is kept at regulated level just below the max possible output for a given emitter emitter/battery combo. Please see the runtimes below for a more accurate picture of the performance of the Avenger GX.
Output/Runtime Comparison:
Output/Runtime Comments:
Please note that I do not have many modern 1xAAA lights to compare to, so take the representative runtimes shown here with a big grain of salt.
The members of the Lumapower EDC line-up consistently have slightly lower Max output compared to other lights of their class – but feature incredibly flat runtime regulation. The same can be seen here for the Avenger GX – especially on NiMH/Eneloop (which the Avenger GX seems to be optimized for).
What isn't as impressive is the alkaline performance. Of course, I don't recommend running modern lights on alkalines (given the propensity of alkalines to leak and potentially damage the light they are in). The exception is L92 lithiums - like NiMH, the Avenger GX does well here (only Hi tested).
On Lo/Med modes, Avenger GX runtime performance is certainly acceptable. But based on this limited runtime data, the Avenger GX appears to be closer to what you might expect from a Fenix L0D with a Q2 emitter, as opposed to a R2 emitter. However, I suspect this is largely due to Vf variation among my samples. Since none of the manufacturers seem to buy emitters with defined Vf bins, you don't know what you are going to get.
I have reason to believe my L0D (Cree P4) has a particularly low Vf (which would translate into longer runtime on lower output modes). My LF2XT #1 sample also seems to be an exceptionally strong performer, and may not be indicative of typical for that model. It is possible my Avenger GX just happens to have a LED with a relatively high Vf, leading to lower runtimes on Lo/Med.
As always, don't read too much into low mode runtime data from a single review sample.
Potential Issues
With the clicky tailcap installed, the light is a bit longer than typical. Keychain carry in this format would also require use of the additional pocket clip, increasing bulk. The forward clicky switch is also a bit stiff, and I have some concerns for its long-term reliability (see post #2 for a discussion)
The smooth reflector enhances throw, but leads to greater rings in the beam compared to other Cree XP-E lights with textured reflectors. Still not as bad as a typical XR-E emitter with a smooth reflector, though.
Li-ion (i.e. 10440) cannot be used in the Avenger GX.
As is common on multi-stage 1xAAA lights, the Avenger GX uses PWM for its low modes. However the frequency is high enough (1.31 kHz) as to not be noticeable in everyday use (although it is detectable if you go looking for it).
General Observations
As with my previous reviews of the Lumapower EDC line, I generally like the approach Lumapower has taken with this series. Early EDC series lights had some issues regarding switch accessibility, anodizing, and general build construction. These were revised and improved over successive launches, and I am glad some of the improved features have made it into this new Avenger GX.
I particularly like the ability to switch between a forward clicky and twisty tailcap. I can't think of any other 1xAAA light where you can easily do this. I suppose you could stick a Fenix L0D/LD01 head on the Streamlight Microstream clicky body – but this is not a particularly elegant solution, IMO. Kudos to Lumapower for providing both options in the standard package.
Speaking of the package, there are a good number of extras here. The pocket clip fits on very snug, and the extra color one is nice touch. The only thing missing is a better way to attach the clicky tailcap version to a keychain (i.e. maybe a removable clip ring?).
Circuit-wise, I continue to be impressed with the decision of Lumapower to go for just sub-maximal output on Hi on the EDC line. This typically provides for a nice balance of output, runtime, flat regulation, and low heat, which is preferable over running at full tilt (especially for lower capacity 1xAAA batteries). Med/Lo runtime performance was certainly acceptable, although not stellar on my sample (again, likely due to normal Vf variation and my lone review sample).
For a KISS light that moves through all modes in sequence, I'm glad to see no SOS or strobe in there. They are fine for lights with hidden modes, but you don't want to see them all the time on an a simple EDC light like this one. And the Lo-Med-Hi sequence continues to make the most sense to me.
At the end of the day, this is not going to be a "sexy" light for those who like all the bells and whistles. But I think it does provide another reasonable choice in the EDC realm - especially for those that like a forward clicky.

Does Virginia Even Have Standing to Challenge Obamacare?
As I described yesterday in the context of Cato's latest brief, Virginia's challenge to the constitutionality of the individual mandate is now on appeal before the Fourth Circuit (the federal appellate court that covers Maryland, Virgnia, and the Carolinas). Before the court even considers the constitutional merits, however, it must confirm that the state has standing to bring the lawsuit in the first place.
Indeed, two amicus briefs filed by some law professors argue that the state does not have the legal power to challenge the constitutionality of Obamacare. But Pacific Legal Foundation attorney and Cato adjunct scholar Timothy Sandefur filed a brief responding to those briefs and arguing that Virginia does have standing to bring the case.
Here's the issue: Article III of the Constitution only lets federal courts hear "cases and controversies," which means that a plaintiff -- whether an individual, a state, a corporation, or any other entity -- must have been actually harmed in a way that courts can address. For example, courts can't review abstract political arguments or give advisory opinions. Here, Virginia argues that it's been injured because it passed a Health Care Freedom Act that prevents citizens from being forced to buy health insurance -- which is obviously in conflict with the individual mandate.
The professors say, in contrast, that states can't pass laws that conflict with federal law as a means of getting in court and challenging the constitutionality of the federal law. They point to Massachusetts v. Mellon, a 1923 decision that said states don't have the "duty or power to enforce ... [citizens'] ... rights in respect of their relations with the Federal Government. In that field it is the United States, and not the State, which represents them as parens patriae...." They argue that the "the state's interest in enforcing its legal code must necessarily give way to federal law whenever a conflict arises," and that "[m]anufacturing a conflict with federal law cannot of itself create an interest sufficient to support standing."
PLF's brief explains, however, that states have had the power to do precisely that since at least McCulloch v. Maryland, the 1819 case that upheld the constitutionality of the national bank (and which is central to the Necessary and Proper Clause analysis at the heart of the larger constitutional debate over Obamacare). In McCulloch, Maryland passed a law taxing the bank simply to give it the ability to challenge the bank's creation in the Supreme Court. Although the Court found the bank constitutionally kosher, it never denied that the state couldn't raise its claims. And the Supreme Court has allowed states in many other cases to challenge federal laws that intrude on their constitutionally retained sovereignty.
In South Dakota v. Dole (1987), for instance, the Court allowed the state to challenge the constitutionality of laws that infringed on the power to regulate alcohol consumption (by tying federal highway funds to states' raising their drinking age to 21) -- a power that the Twenty-First Amendment leaves to states. If states can defend powers retained by the Twenty-First Amendment, why can't they defend powers retained by the Tenth Amendment?
And states should have the power to bring these lawsuits, because the Founders intended for states to serve as a check against Congress going beyond its constitutional authority. In Federalist 46, for example, Madison assured skeptics that states would have "means of opposition" against federal overreaching, and those means would include "the embarrassments created by legislative devices." States are supposed to defend their turf in the federal constitutional scheme. As for cases like Mellon, PLF argues that these cases involved "political questions" and so were not rulings about standing: in those cases the states weren't really exercising their sovereign powers. But in this case, Virginia has clearly exercised its sovereignty by passing the Health Care Freedom Act.
Interestingly, one reason PLF argues that states should have standing to bring these cases is because there's some question whether individual citizens are allowed to bring Tenth Amendment challenges. That question will be resolved this term in Bond v. United States, a case in which Cato filed an amicus brief in December. If individuals are hard-pressed to defend the federalist structure, then states certainly should be able to.
In short, PLF's brief (which was also filed on behalf of Americans for Free Choice in Medicine and Matt Sissel, PLF's client in a different Obamacare case) makes a complicated but crucial argument supporting states' ability to defend federalism by challenging the constitutionality of federal overreaching.

Who would we be as a nation, were it not for Susan B. Anthony? Best known for her tireless efforts on behalf of women's rights, this audacious force of nature was also pivotal to the anti-slavery movement and one of the first advocates for the eight-hour work day. An activist from an early age, Anthony devoted her life to creating an equal and fair playing field for all individuals in a variety of arenas, from the halls of higher education to the voting booths of our nation. Known as The Lady with the Alligator Purse, her story is intertwined with our own, and pivotal to the freedoms we now enjoy.
The Susan B. Anthony House & Museum
19 Madison St.
Rochester, N.Y. 14608
(585) 235-6124
A Massachusetts native, Anthony's activist-minded Quaker family moved to Rochester when she was a young girl. Today, the three-story, red brick Victorian that the family called home is the site of the National Landmark, Susan B. Anthony House & Museum. Filled with history, this is the building Anthony utilized as a political headquarters and where she was arrested for voting in 1872, as well as the place of her death.
It's here at the Susan B. Anthony House & Museum that Anthony's story and the rich times she lived in come alive through the viewing of artifacts and research materials chronicling the vast reach of her life's work as a suffragette, abolitionist, labor rights advocate and education reformer. The typewriter she worked on, much of her clothing and personal belongings and her attic workplace are available for public view. Tours, a photo gallery and interpretive programming relay her inspirational story in easily understandable language, appropriate not only for adults, but for all of the boys and girls poised to be tomorrow's leaders.
The neighboring visitor's center next door was home to one of Anthony's sisters and the small, lovely park across the street is not only an enjoyable location for a picnic lunch, but also a commemorative site honoring Anthony and her friendship with Frederick Douglass.
Hours of admission, parking information and group tour information can be found here.

The Board of Supervisors approved a $10,000 reward in hopes of tracking down the killer of a 23-year-old man gunned down last year in Compton in broad daylight.
David Matthews was walking his bicycle along the curb in the 1000 block of Elm Street, heading home after escorting his girlfriend to her residence, when a vehicle pulled up alongside and someone inside shot at him on May 23, police said.
A witness saw a dark gray, boxy SUV speeding eastbound on Elm just after the 11:25 a.m. shooting, according to police.
Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, who recommended the reward, said Matthew's is family had recently moved from Long Beach to Compton.
"David had a bright future ahead of him, building custom bicycles," Ridley-Thomas said.
Anyone with information about the shooting was asked to call sheriff's homicide Detective Dan Morris or Sgt. Robert Gray at (323) 890-5500.

Vice President Joe Biden's oldest son, who is Delaware's attorney general, made progress Wednesday as he recovered from a mild stroke and hopes to return to work in the near future, his office said.
Beau Biden, 41, was being treated at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, a renowned neuroscience hospital in Philadelphia, a day after suffering the stroke.
"He will continue to follow standard protocol and receive medical therapy over the coming days, as is typical for any patient recovering from an event like this," the Delaware Department of Justice said in a statement. "He looks forward to returning to his duties as Attorney General in the near future."
The vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, were in Philadelphia on Wednesday, but he returned to Washington to host a dinner for Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday night. Joe Biden is one of the Obama administration's major voices in setting Afghanistan policy.
Biden said his son was doing well.
"He's doing great, thank God," Biden told reporters before heading into the dinner at his official residence in Washington. He had shouted the same thing to reporters outside the hospital that afternoon, holding up a Philly cheesesteak.
Thomas Jefferson hospital officials declined to comment, referring questions to the vice president's office.
In a statement issued Tuesday through the White House, Christiana's Dr. Timothy Gardner said Biden was in good spirits and was talking with his relatives. The doctor said Biden was fully alert and in stable condition and had full motor and speech skills. The vice president's office said Gardner would not comment beyond the statement and would not take questions.
Beau Biden returned last year from a yearlong deployment to Iraq with his Army National Guard unit. He was a captain and military lawyer in the 261st Theater Tactical Signal Brigade. He had considered running this year for the Senate seat his father held before becoming vice president but decided instead to run for re-election as attorney general.

It looks like it would be a moist gelatinous mass, actually it is rigid, dry, and feels like styrofoam to the touch. Aerogel is a synthetic, porous, ultralight material extruded from a gelatin. The gelatin is removed, and replaced by a gas, maintaining the structure within. This results in a solid with extreme low density, and low thermal conductivity, making it an amazing insulator.
Aerogel was first created by Samuel Stephens Kistler in 1931, as a result of a bet with Charles Learned over who could replace the liquid in "jellies" with gas without causing shrinkage. Kistler's first aerogels were produced from silica, later based on alumina, chromia and tin dioxide. Carbon aerogels were first developed in the late 1980s.
Aerogels are amazing thermal insulators, as they nearly negate the three methods of heat transfer: convection, conduction, and radiation. The lowest-density aerogel is a silica nanofoam at 1 mg/cm3, quite amazing.
Where will a wonder material like this turn up? Well, NASA used aerogel to trap spade dust particles in a special collector aboard the Stardust spacecraft, and for thermal insulation of the Mars Rover and space suits, and Dunlop has recently incorporated aerogel into the mold of its new series of badminton rackets, and has previously used it in squash rackets.
What will the next application be for Aerogel? As prices come down, it could be used in any application requiring insulation, cars, tents, houses, even clothes.
Thanks to ThinkGeek, you can even get your hands on a sample disc that will set you back $40.00, but you will have your very own piece of Aerogel to show off to your friends.

Third of women in survey 'taken advantage of sexually' while drunk or high
Almost all respondents who said this happened within the previous year did not report the incident to police, a 2019 global drug survey found.
More than a third of women who took part in a global drug survey reported being taken advantage of sexually while drunk or high.
The majority of the incidents took place in a private home by someone known to the person, the 2019 global drugs survey found.
Some 29.3% of women said they had been taken advantage of, with 8% saying it had taken place in the last 12 months.
Almost all respondents who said this happened within the previous year did not report the incident to police, with 43% failing to because they felt partly responsible.
Sex and drugs researcher Alexandra Aldridge said people can feel reluctant to use the words sexual assault because they may believe their experience is less valid if they are intoxicated.
The Royal Holloway PhD student, 26, said: "Our findings really show that we need to move away from victim blaming – telling women to change their behaviour clearly can only go so far in preventing sexual assaults."
She added: "Clearly people are feeling responsible in some way for their actions, and I think a lot of people who experience harassment or being taken advantage of can really relate to that.
"'To what extent does my experience count as sexual assault when I have these feelings of guilt and responsibility?' – that definitely acts as a huge barrier to reporting."
Researchers based in London questioned more than 120,000 people across the world between October 29 and December 30 last year.
Overall, 18% of men, women and people who identified as a different gender who took part said they had been taken advantage of while intoxicated.
The incidents involved unwanted kissing, oral sex, sexual touching and penetration.
Almost nine in ten of the encounters in the last year involved alcohol (87.8%), with 35.5% involving alcohol and drugs, cannabis being the most common.
Two thirds took place in a private house, while 69.5% involved someone they knew in some capacity.
More than a quarter (25.8%) of those who reported being taken advantage of said they had given consent to initiate sexual activity, but later changed their mind.
Ms Aldridge said the findings show the need to reframe the idea of consent as a process rather than a one-off.
She also warned it was important not to conflate consent with wantedness, with some people agreeing to activity "because they don't feel able to say no, they feel under threat or they think something negative might happen to them if they say no".
The report said: "The debunking of such rape myths has important implications for educational messages aimed at preventing intoxicated sexual violence.
"Such messages should not rely solely on strategies to avoid being raped.
"Instead, messages should promote ethical sexual behaviour in which individuals are encouraged to consider the effects of alcohol and/or other drug intoxication on their own and others' feelings around sexual activity."

Friday, June 13, 2008, 13:13 - Poetry, Literature, Music, Reviews"Blackmore's Night" will release their new album, "Secret Voyage" on July 15. If this news leaves you wondering about who they are and what they do, I am willing to offer a quick explanation.

If you are into Latin, chances are you are a little bit into Middle Ages. And if you are into that sort of thing, there is a 60% chance that you're in for a treat, and that you will enjoy the music of Blackmore's Night. They do not painstakingly recreate medieval music, instead the band creates modern arrangements of old-time tunes, as well as their own material. Their music is very well-spirited, their melodies are captivating, and the performance is superb. All of this is to be expected, because apart from the excellent vocals by Candice Night the group features the talent and expertise of Ritchie Blackmore, of the greatest guitar players of all time. You may remember him from such projects ad "Deep Purple" and "Rainbow".
It would only be fair (no pun intended) to offer some critical notes. At times they seem a little bit too Renaissance fair (hence the unintended pun). The excursions into Ritchie's rock past may occasionally seem a little out of place. On the whole, this is solid enjoyable music with a medieval flare. I must add that when I tried to find something that even came close to Blackmore's Night, my efforts were unsuccessful.

08/11/2018 - 19:45:00Back to Courts Ireland Home
Durham's chief constable has insisted Northern Ireland's Police Ombudsman did report the theft of a confidential document that triggered the arrest of two journalists, despite a denial from the watchdog.
Mike Barton and Ombudsman Dr Michael Maguire appeared at odds on Thursday evening after Mr Barton countered an assertion from the Ombudsman's office that it did not make a "complaint of theft" to the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
The PSNI, concerned about conflict of interest issues, asked Durham Constabulary to probe the alleged theft of a document that featured in Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey's film on the 1994 Loughinisland massacre.
Officers from Durham subsequently oversaw the arrest and questioning of the award-winning documentary makers in August.
A Durham police press release issued at the time stated the investigation was triggered when the Ombudsman reported the alleged crime to police.
On Thursday morning that claim was directly contradicted by the Ombudsman's office itself, which insisted: "We did not make a complaint of theft."
The controversy took another twist hours later when Mr Barton insisted a report had been made by the Ombudsman. He further claimed the report was followed up by a "written statement of complaint by a member of their senior management team".
"The Loughinisland massacre was a barbaric atrocity which continues to have a devastating impact on the lives of many people," said Mr Barton.
"Durham Constabulary has been tasked to conduct a criminal investigation into the loss of secret documents and their subsequent use in a film documentary resulting in the potential for lives to be put at risk.
"The Office of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (OPONI) did report the theft of their material to the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) at a meeting on October 4, 2017 immediately after identifying the fact that 'secret' documents, created by OPONI, had featured in a documentary film.
"This criminal investigation has a definite and clear starting point. The report by OPONI was subsequently followed up by a written statement of complaint by a member of their senior management team.
"The statement acknowledges that, following this initial report, Durham Constabulary would be conducting a criminal investigation into theft or other unauthorised disclosures."
Earlier, in response to Dr Maguire's contention, which was reported in the Irish Times on Thursday, lawyers for Mr Birney and Mr McCaffrey said the arrests were to be challenged in court.
They said a judge would be asked to assess the lawfulness of their detention as part of an already listed High Court case into other aspects of the police operation.
Judicial review proceedings questioning the police basis for pursuing warrants for the arrest and search operation have already been initiated in Belfast High Court.
Solicitors Niall Murphy and John Finucane, who represent Mr Birney and Mr McCaffrey respectively, said the issue of whether a criminal report of theft had been made by the Ombudsman would now form part of the case.
"Confirmation that there is no criminal complaint of theft fundamentally undermines the entire integrity of the decision to pursue this flawed arrest strategy," said Mr Murphy, prior to Mr Barton's statement.
Mr Finucane added: "That PONI have confirmed they did not in fact make a statement of complaint for theft adds to the already deeply worrying nature of this arrest and the entire investigation."
In his comments, Mr Barton said: "Durham Constabulary understands and respects its obligations to the ongoing judicial review proceedings with which it will continue to fully comply."
Mr Birney and Mr McCaffrey were questioned for 14 hours on how material held by the Ombudsman ended up in the reporters' documentary on the notorious loyalist paramilitary atrocity.
They were released to return for further interviews later this month.
The six men murdered when Ulster Volunteer Force gunmen opened fire inside the Heights Bar in Loughinisland, Co Down, in June 1994 were football fans who had gathered to watch the Republic of Ireland play in the World Cup.
The 2017 documentary by Mr Birney, 51, and Mr McCaffrey, 48, broke new ground by publicly naming those it said were suspects.
With the No Stone Unturned film exploring persistent claims of security force collusion with the loyalist paramilitaries who committed the murders, PSNI chief constable George Hamilton called in an external force to probe the theft allegations, citing potential conflict of interest concerns.
In a press release issued after the early morning arrests on August 31 this year, Durham Constabulary said: "Officials from PONI reported the theft to PSNI, who in turn asked Durham Constabulary to conduct an independent investigation."
The Ombudsman has challenged that assertion.
Dr Maguire did meet with police a day after first seeing the documentary, but his office claims that was to flag potential risks to the safety of those individuals who had been named, not to report a theft.
A statement from the Police Ombudsman's Office said: "On October 4 2017, the day after we had a viewing of the documentary, we briefed PSNI that it had identified a number of individuals, who may now be at risk, and that it had shown extracts from what appeared to be a Police Ombudsman document, albeit in different format to our document. We did not make a complaint of theft.
"We understand that PSNI commissioned Durham Police to investigate the means by which the film's production team secured access to the material, whether by theft or other unauthorised disclosure."
The PSNI declined to comment on the issue, citing the fact legal proceedings were ongoing.

Have you ever wondered if Audis are safe vehicles? Wonder no more – here is the proof you need. This driver, who's nickname should now be "Lucky," apparently lost control of his Audi RS6 and slid sideways into a tree at high speed. Very high speed I would imagine, since the tree literally sliced the car in half. The driver, despite the completely totaled condition of the car, walked away unharmed.
At first glance, you'd think those were two different cars, but rest assured it's not. Take a look at more pictures below to see more of the wreckage, and the driver (fully intact.)

The war on milk has shifted fronts. First it was sugar-laden chocolate milk, which parents and school administrators battled in recent years to remove from school-lunch menus. Now, it's plain old moo that's under fire.
On Thursday, a national doctors group petitioned the U.S. government to remove milk as a required food group from the National School Lunch Program, the federally assisted program that has provided lunch to millions of public school kids since 1946. The doctors' reasoning: milk doesn't help protect kids' bones.
The promotion of milk to help build strong bones in kids is, "in effect, the promotion of an ineffective placebo," writes the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) in its petition [PDF]. "Milk is high in sugar, high in fat and high in animal protein" — all of which counters its purported benefits to bone health, the committee argues.
The PCRM notes that dairy products, including milk, are the No. 1 source of saturated fat in Americans' diets. Drinking milk for the calcium it contains is therefore a losing strategy, especially since people can get their daily recommended calcium from other, more nutritious foods. And for millions of Americans who are allergic to milk — including 1.3 million children — or intolerant to the lactose it contains, drinking milk carries potentially severe health risks.
"Research has now made it abundantly clear that milk doesn't build strong bones. Whether we are talking about children who are forming bones or older people who are trying to keep their bone integrity, milk doesn't have a beneficial effect on either one."
In March, a study published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine followed a group of 6,712 girls over seven years, tracking their diets and assessing their likelihood of stress fracture. The researchers found that neither calcium nor dairy intake was associated with a lower risk of such fractures. Similarly, 2003 data from the Nurses' Health Study, which followed more than 72,000 postmenopausal women for 18 years, found that milk drinkers were no less likely to suffer a hip fracture than those who didn't drink the white stuff.
