Well I know you've put your readies away but I just had to go look for a review, it should be noted that this was done in 2004, this is not a very up-to-date light I think. :-\

There is not much info on this light. I did a search on CPF and came up with a posting from 2004. Not much was really said about this light other than the tint of the LED, with members reporting green and violet tints.
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Well I bought one, and too be honest it isn't half bad :tu:

I's increadable robust with really thick aluminium wall's. A type II matte coating, and the qualities pretty good too, with nice smooth threads :)

There's a really lovely spill to it, and while not being mega powerful, seem's to have a reasonable throw :)

Best of all I think it'll excel at self defence duties (the reason I bought it) as it really has a lovely heft to it >:D

It's 7.5 inches long, so you'd need deep pockets :D

i think ive found the penlight ive been looking for http://www.heinnie.com/Flashlights/Streamlight/Streamlight-Stylus-Pro/p-97-272-1915/ :)

I had one for a while but found the switch to be very stiff and uncomfortable to use.  We didn't get on and I traded it.

Have you seen the Preon2?  Its on my hit list :)
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

If I were to buy a penlight, it would definitely be a Peak Eiger.  Talk about a no-nonsense, extremely well-built and designed piece...   :drool:
