a modded Maglite AA. The NiteIze kit is really working out well

I've been using the Led Lenser M5 that I got for Christmas these last couple of weeks, and I really like it  :tu:.

Fenix LD 20,
Owne it yet for about 2 Yeahrs or something, and it still works great, even whit rechargeble Batteries..
Could be a bit smaler, but its powerfull enough for my tasks and fits perfectly in the Pokets..

Mybe there is a much more Powerfull and smaler AA LED Flashlight from Fenix who only needs one AA Cell, but at the Moment im Happy whit my LD 20..
Your SAK is only fully yours, when it bites you, or you opend a Trink of your joice whit it
SAKs i have: Huntsman Light (Red Transparent), Workchamp (Black), Wenger EvoGrip S557 (Red), Swisschamp XLT (Red Transparent)..

Carried a Malkoff MDC CR123 as the main light and a Peak Eiger level 8 in stainless steel as backup.

I'm still using my trusty old Leatherman Monarch 300.  I can't find a cost effective light that I like better.  If anyone has any suggestions I'm open to trying them.  I rely on this light so much that if I ever lost it I would truly be lost.  I would love a back up.

The Thrunite T10 springs to mind. http://www.thrunite.com/thrunite-t10-new/

I hate it when you post a link to Thrunite  >:(
It just cost me £57 this time!  :twak:


 :whistle:
 :P

My evil plan to spend all your money is working then.  >:D

What did you get? :)

Neutral T10
Neutral T20
Christmas Ltd Ed Ti

The first time you did this to me  :twak: I got the old style twistie T10 and T20, and both came with a free Ti. I must admit I was very happy with them too. Very good value. The T20 now lives in the glovebox of the car, the T10 stays clipped to my black pioneer and Style PS as a fixed "trio", and the Ti gets occasional carry with a celidor SAK and red Dime.

This time they have tail clickies, pocket clips and the lantern attachments ... I had to go for it :-[

They're here ...



Carried the usual Quark AA Tactical at work today, but switched to the new T10 tonight

I'm so boring, I've been carrying the same Leatherman Monarch 300 for years now.  In my defense, I do have a Fenix LD01 and ITP SA2 Eluma in my bag.

I carry a regular maglite mini LED which need 3 AA batteries and put them in my everyday bag.
If I need to pick some good EDC tools.
Then I would take my love leatherman multi tool wave and a flash light. Other are just a waste !!!

For good reason. Zebralights rock! Its funny how unless you are very familiar with good lights no one really knows about the brand. I have never met a single person in my day to day life that knows the brand.

I've never met another person who knows the brand either. I didnt expect to like this light this much. Just wanted to try it out and see how it worked. It has really proven to me to be a very good light.    :)

Glad you get along with yours. The user interface seems insane on paper, but once you get to using it, it is quite simple actually.

I've been carrying a fenix e12 for the past few weeks. Im starting to appreciate the minor length difference from the e11. I hardly notice it's in my front pocket.

Just received a "singfire" aaa light in the mail. Might give that a whirl this weekend. So far, I like the way it looks, but will have to see about how it feels to carry and use it. It's a lot smaller than I'm use to. And it's very polished, might be difficult to operate and hold. We'll find out.

Back on topic for a sec; I've had my original Thrunite T10 clipped to my keys for a while now, still one of my favourite "all round" lights.  For something with a little more oomph and throw I've had my Jetbeam Pro V.3 with a 14500 cell sitting in my jacket pocket.

Thing is that the new T10 is similar enough to my much loved Eagletac D25A Clicky that I cannot justify it to myself. :shrug:

I did get the new Ti3 not so long ago, that's a sweet little light.

I know what you mean  :) I'm carrying this purely because I just got it, but if I'm honest it (and the CR123 version) not replace my V10R as my fave pocket light anyway ... unless I'm going somewhere/doing something where I'd be frightened of losing it
