Mini Mag Xl200. The "rotation" interface is incredible.

My two latest lights (that I actually have now.  Two more are in transit) have been Zebralights:

Rear - Zebralight SC62w. This was my first Zebralight. They make an amazing light, for its size, and the user interface is a stroke of genius :D
Front - Zebralight SC600w Mk II L2 - picked this one up on CPF, for a killer price.

The two latest actual purchases (which have yet to arrive) are 1) a Fenix E15 2016 Edition (450 lumens on a 1340 battery), and 2) an EagleTac DX30LC2 XP-L Hi V3.  I'll post pictures, once they arrive :D

That light looks as if it's ready for take-off.LOL.

Need to get one of these, can't beat the programability and the UI. Their price is a little too out of my price range ATM.

Just received a couple more Nitecore Tubes today.

Took the green one off my car keys, and put a black one on instead. Now everything on there is black apart from my Vic Manager

I put the green one on my house keys in place of the Preon Revo, which works well as I already have a green Dime on there.

I put the clear one on the lanyard ring of my grey CS4...... and remembered how much worse the Juice is with anything on that lanyard loop. I've taken it back off, but not rehomed it with anything else yet

Finally, FINALLY got in my Gear Best version of the popular budget light the SPAMCORP.com/led-flashlights/pp_168405.html]Eagle Eye X6[/url].  In fairness to Gear Best I suspect this is the second light they've had to send out as the first one got lost somewhere in transit.  However they made good without any quibble. 

It has four light levels running from Low up to Turbo and a hidden Strobe (double click after switching on in any other level).  Also has Mode Memory which, as some of you know, is a feature I like very much.  Seems very well made and is on a par with lights I've spent more money on.

Nice looking light Gareth  :tu:

I still have an aversion to those cells, so i won't be joining you in that one :ahhh but I'd still be very interested in hearing how you get on with it  :salute:

I'm currently itching for a new 2x AA light for work use to replace my ailing Quark tactical. Wrong time of yeah to be spending though  :-\ It's not just the impending commerSmurfpillsed farce at the end of the month (which I'm minimising my exposure to), but just had to cough up for three tyres for the car this morning (managed to get some cheap part worn ones), I need a windscreen repair, and the MOT on the car is due too  ::)

I feel your pain Al.  Never fun having to spend money on car stuff, no matter what time of year it is. :-\

Two fronts desperately needed replacing, and one of the rear had a slow puncture. When they looked at it it was too close to the sidewall to repair. The fourth was fine.

Honda cars are famous for wearing out their front tyres, especially when driven hard by you youngsters.
I always change all 4 tyres, if one needs changing - just a habit.

 :D

I tend to just replace what needs replacing. If it's not bald or punctured it stays on  ;) It's actually very rare that I have a tyre that wears out, they usually have to be replaced due to punctures, although I've had a lot less since I sold the boat

Picked up a Mag Solitaire LED from Target. It's pretty neat though didn't I read somewhere about it suffering from battery-leakage?

Absolutely! I have just had to charge mine back up for the first time, although I have added another to the carry and have one on my car keys and one on my house keys. Came in very handy when the original was flat

The only thing they need is a clip, something like those freedoms keychain sat it, but with a clip to hook to the underside of a hats brim, I saw this little thing but still needs a clip..

I got those as stocking fillers, but I may end up keeping one or three myself   :D

I like their simplicity. They were only  about $6, though the other lights ones shown were $0.70, so "only" is a relative term

It is a bit more expensive but gives you a lot more capabilities. It would be a bit awkward on a keychain.
