I like the finish on your artifact
Pictures of most of my work can be found on my Facebook Page.
Also have a look at my Shapeways Shop and SW Torch Shop for 3D printed items.

Trustfire TR-3T6  :drool:  :drool:  :drool:

...I am sure I must have same inadequacy somewhere to get this...  :facepalm:

I will write some more about it soon
That looks like fun DKS! Looks like one of those things that I think I need but might not actually need and will buy regardless. Have you posted details yet?

Amici,
Right now I have a Fenix E01 clipped onto a lanyard that's clipped to a Vic Craftsman with Stayglow scales. It's not too bad, but so far nothing comes close to beating my Stylus Microstream. Although it takes only one AAA, upgrade it to a Lithium and you'll have about 4-5 hours of continious lighting. 

Cheers,
Serge

I got a GREAT little light off nuphoria at the UK meet a few weeks back, or whenever it was (lost all track of time) ... can't for the life of me remember what it is without looking on the box  :rofl: I'll never make a flashaholic  :D :D :D

Al, It's a Sunwayman V10R XML T6.... shiny :D


I finally got the Ti+ version which was my replacement for it and it doesn't come close to the quality of the alu version ::)
Sunwayman have already promised to provide a care kit to replace the switch which is bloody awful. Lots of other gripes online about it.

So to console myself and hedge my Ti light bets, I also picked up one of these new Jetbeams:

See what I mean, I'll never remember that. I have enough trouble remembering my own postcode  :rofl: Sorry to hear the "upgrade" was a let down. If you want the other one back .... tough!  :P :D :D :D

 The Jetbeam looks a bit fandango  :drool: Didn't you have something similar but bigger at the meet? Wasn't that Jetbeam too?

This puppy came in yesterday, I'll reserve my opinion of it once my 18650's show up. On 3xAAA's it is less than spectacular. I do like the GITD button though.

shame the Ti Sunwayman was a disappointment, the Al one Al got was lovely. ;)

That Jetbeam look fantastic as well though and I hope we're going to see more of that style of UI, very pleasing to use IMO. :)

My last was a Surefire Saint Minimus ( fall of 2011 ) . Bought a Z68 tailcap for my Surefire E1B at the same time . Bout due for another . I own/carry very few , I've found it's cheaper to go top of the line .

How do you like the Saint? I really like mine although I wish it would put out a little more like 200lm. I say that but in pitch black I don't even run it wide open as is. I put a drop of mineral oil into the pivots last night which is nice to pivot but now adjusting brightness is sometimes a two handed job.

Got a couple of sets of bike lights, 8 euro ffrom LIDL.

15Lm.
I buy several bike lights every year.

There is a surpising amount of electronics in them though I think this is to enable you to recharge batteries in it too, according to the manual.

I just got a mini Zebralight collection in, SC31, SC51, SC80 and the H51. I love them all. Wish it was dark 16 hours a day so I'd have more time to play with them.

Wow, thats quite the instant collection!  :o

I love my sc50w+.  Very nice UI, tint is amazing.  Let us know what you think about yours.  :tu:

I really like mine , for my use power is more than adequate . I usually only use it at about 25% . The beast is tuff like a pig's nose - it's taken a few good bashes .

BTW , they now make a 2xAA version , and a desert camo version .

If I run across one , I'll score an AA .

I have a Jetbeam RRT0 XML and a bunch of quarks, I love them all. The Zebralights small form, enhanced output on eneloops, and UI put them in a whole different category and I always have one in my EDC rotation either as a backup to my quarks or a main light. I want an SC600 and hopefully a Q50 if it's ever released.

Why not look at a E05?  That way you are not just buying the same light and it is easier to justify to yourself. :D

Thanks :D  I'd actually found sth on eBay... I don't get where the location is. The currency is British pound (?), but the location says USA

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fenix-LED-E01-Blue-Flashlight-/270963660908?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_Camping_LightsLanternsTorches&hash=item3f16b1586c


I hoped, if it was in Britain somewhere, that may be the shipping would be faster... I'll see... Just I'm still "learning" to shop online... lol. My first E01 I bought from my own country for 22 BGN + 7 BGN shipping = 29 BGN ... and now this one would be sth around 19 BGN with shipping included *crazy*

Yeah, and especially that trick with the colours.... I guess later I'll want all colours... grr :D (I shouldn't, I mustn't, I won't :D who am I kidding)
