Yep, it's a popular light, a lot of people like it. I haven't had one myself. I think this is a newer/upgraded version as the... old ones were less than 65 lumens... Not sure, though.

That sounds right, I think the older ones had something like 48 lumens.

My latest acquired edc flashlight is an Acebeam L10 Mini (1AA), which took a slow boat to get here, a month after I paid for it.  But, the wait seems worth it so far.  I've already put some knotwork on it, just need to decide if I'm gonna keep it clipped to my keychain or pocket carry it with a paracord lanyard...  :D

 :think: I haven't got a new light since getting the T10's.  Well not counting some Maglights that I got just because.  I am really enjoying the T10 but I hate to say I'm jonesing for a higher output AA light.

I thought the T10 had a pretty high output for a 1xAA light?  Or am I getting that wrong? :think:

Oh it's pretty great!  I guess with each bump of lumens with each new light I get lumen greedy.  I have a PD32 that is nearly perfect in every way ( minus the CR123 cells ).  I never thought I'd chase brighter and brighter lights.  The reality is I use mid range more often and the low setting ( 50/10 ) around the house.

Just received my first edc flashlight. A 'HUGSBY XP-1' I went the less expensive route primarily, but will probably move up if and when these give out. My wife will keep one in her bag as well.
$12 for TWO, with free shipping from a U.S store,  supposed 120lm, reversible pocket clip so i can mount on my hat, rear click on. Only one mode tho.
I was very interested in the Thrunite ti3, but i dont think ill like the twist on feature. I guess it helps with accidental waste of batteries tho.
Well todays my first day with a torch on my side  :D

Just got one of these in myself.  Have to say I'm pretty impressed with it, especially given the low price. :)

My latest toy,,
   When I opened it, it was absolutely dead, Notta, not even a glow! So I threw it on a usb to get juiced, I just took it off so I don't have any pics, but I must say WOW! This thing is freaking bright, the wife and I were watching tv so I pointed it up to the ceiling and it lit the whole thing up, it looked as if the light was on since that's what I was aiming at. I must say this is a pretty nice piece for $12, so long as it holds a decent charge a great buy, especially since all you have to do is recharge it and not have to buy more batteries!

I got mine off of amazon, but it's a nitecore, Grant it its about twice the size of a photon freedom, but weight wise pretty much the same, there's like nothing to it. I couldn't take a pic last night cause some of my lights are on timers and I wanted to crash, but I took one this morning, thus why the pic is kinda blurry cause I couldnt hold the ipad straight, I'm just not awake, lol. But it lit the whole room up! I'll have to do a compare side by side pic to the freedom, maybe tonight when I'm awake and the rooms are dark.

Cool White too. You like cool white and memory, right? >:D

I highly recommend this seller. Fast shipping, under 10 days from China for me, and my preferred seller for all flashlight related purchases. I had an ITP A2 die on me after a bit over a year, sent it back to them and they fixed it. Not replaced but actually fixed it and I got it back with all he dings in ano it had before. ;) Not a lot of sellers would do that so late after the initial purchase so they got a loyal customer in me cause of it.

Looks like the T10 got a bump in lumens  :think: and a new emitter? I really like the SS one but having 2 already I cannot justify another  :whistle:

I've been super stoked with mine.

More of a neutral fan if it's an option TBH, though I'm happy enough with cool if that's the only choice.  Thanks for the recommendation though (bloody enabler ::)).

Easy enough to fix.

When you send me the PST sell me one of the black T-10's you have and then you can get a SS one.

I like the not SS one better.

Added a PD35 (2014 ver.) to my edc (i love this "artistic" photo :) )



Also handmade a diffuser white and red (made with a red bottle cap for emergency) which fit perfectly

Hope you like the idea very very cheap ;)
