Can't make up your mind AA or CR123... then don'tGet a convertable....
Quote from: PTRSAK on August 13, 2014, 08:58:35 AMCan't make up your mind AA or CR123... then don'tGet a convertable....Good call, but I would rather stick with a clicky. Maybe the Zebralight SC80 or whatever the current version is. --------------------------If I were to be getting a new light, I'd opt for either the Eagletac D25A/D25C Clicky (there's a twisty version too) or the Olight S15/S10, depending on battery preference. Also if you intend to use the RCR123 batteries, I think the Olight S10 might be better at heat dispersal, and the D25C goes into direct drive with those but the flashoholics here might know more about that.
I should have stayed out of this thread damn it! Now I want the SC52w and S15. So not impressed with yous.
What are some decent RCR123's? I run surefire cr123's now and have had great luck with them, but they are not rechargeable..)Josh

The new ThruNite Saber was what came to my mind as well, but I won't hesitate to recommend the Eagletac D25A. It's by far and away my favourite EDC light. I love it in the Neutral tint.
Zebralight = vile, repugnant, evil, brain melter that will have you in one of the nice white coats that buttons up the back very quickly. They're just warped in every aspect of their being and should be purged from the planet for the good of humanity. Buy anything other than Zebralight. Seriously. Candle. Match. Light a fart. Anything, just don't let these evil people steer you towards them if you value your sanity.
Zebralight Learning Curve: Grab light and push button with thumb, forgetting that (unlike any other torch that ever existed)depending how quick you do that depends what light you get - full power, minimum power, or a rapid scroll through levels. Swear at it! Push button lightly (as in soft press) for next level and wait to see which level is next. It goes off (but not immediately). Swear at it!Push button to turn it back on at a different speed, and light comes on at a different light level to before. Swear at it.Try double clicking it. The light changes two settings, but flickers the intermediate setting on it's way there. Feel the start of a headache coming on, and swear at it!Remember the "press and hold to change mode" thingy. Press and hold button. It goes too far before you let go and you get the light level after the one you wanted. Swear at it!Press button quicker to advance light mode slower, and it goes off. Swear at it loudly!Press button to turn back on, this time with eyes shut as you're getting frightened of giving yourself a seizure. Swear at it regardless of light level. Open eyes and assess which level the imp has chosen. Swear again regardless of result!Press and hold and whimper as the light cycles through the various levels as you try to time it to stop on the right one. With gritted teeth and misting eyes, finally achieve the required light level for the job at hand (praying it doesn't need more than one light level) Press the button to turn it off and it waits a fraction of a second just in case it's a double click. That's enough time for your brain to think you didn't press it right and tell your thumb to try again. By the time your thumb starts moving again the light has gone off so you end up turning it on again! SCREAM AT IT !!! Whilst still screaming, press the button more slowly and deliberately to make bloody sure the button works this time. Light level changes and stays on. Look at the window to decide if it's high enough to jump out of. Start to cryStop ... take a breath ... think clearly and press the button once and wait. Light goes off! Return light to drawer and pick up something else which hasn't been possessed by an evil spirit. Attempt to calm down and mend your wounded soul.Leave the light there until you've read enough posts at good people at MT.O who have tamed the beast with bright smiling faces and give it constant praise. Feel convinced it's worth trying it out again.Return to step 1 ......
