What's your latest flashlight?

[Heinz Doofenshmirtz]

Got my HCRI Q-mini yesterday.  Same tint as my other HCRI Quarks, which I've been very happy with.  Very happily living in my right front pocket clipped to my Squirt S4 with an S-biner. 

The next two lights on my list are a Spark ST6-460nw headlamp, and a Solarforce L2M with a Nailbender HCRI drop in.  After that, a Zebralight SC52 with a neutral or HCRI emitter.

[Gareth]

As the resident flashlight moron, I am very happy to report that I just ordered a Leatherman Monarch 300.  It doesn't come close to any of these, but it's familiar to me and discontinued, so I'm happy to have found one.

Dang Simon,    where do you get all this cool stuff?

Another Monarch 300 fan here.   Am I going to light up a whole field with it? No.  Can I move around a dark building and follow a dark path?  Yes I can.

Welcome back, Luke. Long time no see. And some nice toys you got there.

[Heinz Doofenshmirtz]

I've also got my eye on a Solarforce L2M host, and another Nailbender module for it...

I just got a Sunwayman M11R Sirius - but the XM-L has been removed, and replaced with 3 High CRI Nichia 219's

Holy Lumens!!  I'd LOVE that one!  Quality over quantity with those lumens.

Not really mine but I will be able to use it/ play with it.

It is a present I bought for christmas that arrived a bit later than expected.

Shown with an E09 for size comparison. Big for an AA.

Zebralight SC51, used but in good working condition.

Good to see one "live" i.e. in a picture next to something normal and not a white background I've had a black one for 9 months and loved it. I've recently been wondering about buying a "silver" one, but I still hesitate. I thought the clicky would be be silver, too. Otherwise I've been impressed with the simplicity & functionality of it (from the point of view of a person who hasn't been through many flashlights in her life).

[dks]

NNR, I see it used, though it is not mine.
The silver, to me looks a bit cheap. Looks a bit like painted plastic, rather than aluminium. I assume the black looks better.

If you are intersted I posted a link in the deals section in which they are available for sale for $21.50, including shipping.

 I got mine for about $26 and it was a good price then.

Some torch porn for you then

With it's little brother, an Olight S10 Ti, modded with a High CRI 219 aswell.





And one more, since this is MT.O after all , with their Ti pocket buddy:

@dks,

This is ssssoooo tempting :aaah: ..... Usually a cheap price means many weeks of waiting, though, but who knows... I hope it's still around when I manage to spare some money for cool stuff...

Nice!  What is the beam like with that tripple set up?  I've not been following lights so closely lately, is that a standard tripple optic, or something more special?  I'm thinking maybe a little diffusion film, might be nice.  I'd really like a small tripple Nicha 219 setup like that.   Thanks for the pics!

It's a standard Carclo optic. All you get is one big fat hotspot no need for diffusion film.

Very nice... I have a triple in a 6P body and I get the same kind of beam. Very useful too

[Heinz Doofenshmirtz]

Simon, care to share your source for that?  I'm curious about something like that.  Preferably a P60 drop in, with a 3 - 9 volt range for the driver.  I've got an L2X extended I want to get a high output module for.  I have a LumensFactory HCRI 3 mode XPG in it now, but I'm planning on getting another 1x18650 host for it (still undecided between a P1, L2M, and L2N; any input on those would be appreciated), for biking use.  Probably to replace my old Jet III Pro ST that's on the top of my helmet now.

Thanks!   

(Oh, and I bow to your superior torch-fu!  I'd use an emoticon, but I don't know the code for the "we're not worthy" smiley! )

Sweet!  Gonna copy that and keep it on a sticky note on my desktop for future use!

Nice I just got the new EDC+ Tripple drop-in and I'm hoping it works well in a C2.  Awesome deal on cpfm, but I think the first run has sold out.  I have a couple large tripples but a P60 Tripple should be a bit more pocket friendly.

Still I want a nice EDC HCRI Tripple like that M11R, I may have to get a M61-219 to hold me over.

There's a lot of rumoring on another forum that there will be a 2nd-gen Nichia 219 version of the EDC+ dropin. That's the one I'm going to buy

Sure wished there was a way to upgrade the LED mechanism in my Leatherman Monarch 500 SS light.





Still works, just not as bright as other lights available.

It wouldn't be too hard to upgrade that.

If you're a CPF member, have a chat with Vinhngyuen54 (I've probably spelled that wrong, but it's close enough) - he's a legend with modifying and upgrading all sorts of lights.

Finally pulled the pin and ordered an Ti Eagletac D25A Clicky. I need a new flashlight like I need a hole in the head. I just couldn't resist, it's Titanium

Nice. I've been eyeing that one off for a while too. I read somewhere it has a very very low low.

[nuphoria]

Ti does have an extra pull factor me too!

Is it only direct drive on high when you use lithiums?

[Gareth]

I do like the look of the D25A Clicky as well.  Ti will be very nice I'm sure but I'd be happy with a plain old aluminium one myself.

[hiljentaa]

Continuing with the D25A Ti discussion - just grabbed this used D25A Ti Mini. Stoked!

[Heinz Doofenshmirtz]

As beautiful as ti lights are, I can't ever see myself buying one.  It's just such a poor heat conductor, I'd constantly live in fear I'd fry the emitter.
