Inexpensive, powerful single AAA light

[Teofilo]

I got this light from a trade with Eddie:
An Akoray K-103. Powered by a single AAA primary or rechargeable, at first I can't believe that it can emit more than 100 lumens of led !

Very nice shot Gene. It is brighter than Fenix LOD. I love that light.

I just got two for my friends. They are very nice, and my friends seem happy.

Look's like a great little light mate

how long does the battery last at that level?

and, why the electrical tape on the pocket clip?

[edap617]

30 minutes.

Looks to be a rubber coating to prevent scratching of the metal tubing (and may help keep the light from sliding around where it's clipped)

[edap617]

Its a capillary plastic tubing to prevent scratching,

[Magnus]

ah, that makes sense.

still looks like electrical tape though

I've heard great things about this light.  Thanks for the pic, it's the first time I've seen one.  It's a good looking little light.

i so should have bought that instead of the one i ended up getting.  m'eh  mine works well though

[texasflyfisher]

30 minutes.

Is that considered good?

Also, how hot does it get?

[edap617]

For a 1xAAA light I am satisfied with 30 min runtime.

Warm only.

Gene, were you able to compare the beams of the ITP and the Akoray? I think the Akoray has a deeper reflectdor and has a more focused beam as compared to the ITP.

You are right, Ed! The Akoray's tint is also warmer.
