What's your latest flashlight?

[Gareth]

Just browsing through Heinnie Haynes site and I saw they were selling the AAA Mini Maglite LED for not to much money so I decide to go for one.  Now I know that it's not the latest and greatest light out there but as my first ever quality torch was a AAA Mini Maglite I felt I had to own the LED version as well.

£12.95 for a LEDed Mini Mag looks like a decent price. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it when you have played with it a bit.

Me too. I think it's nostalgia mostly, but I do like Maglites

The price seems to be around £10 less that it sells for most other places, yet that doesn't seem to be a sale price at HH.   Given that HH have the old incan version up for just £1 less (£11.95), I suspect someone has made a bo-bo?  Not that I'm complaining mind you.

Arrgh!  They sent me a LED Solitaire by mistake.   As I didn't really want the Solitaire right now I've sent it back and HH are going to try again.  Very helpful and apologetic chap on the phone, but it's still a little frustrating.

[enki_ck]

I assume it was in a clamshell so you didn't even get to play with it. Or am I wrong?

No, sadly you are right and it was still sealed up tight.   I would have loved to have had a chance to play with the Solitaire but I didn't want to scupper my chances of getting the torch I had actually paid for.

[Gareth]

And the saga, I suspect, continues.   Just read a very polite email from HH saying that they have received my returned maglite and dispatched a different one.  The issue is that they seem to think I've returned a AAA Mini Maglite LED (I didn't, I returned a Solitaire LED) and seem to be saying that they've now sent me a conventional AAA Mini Maglite.

Im very new to this forum and all but ive been looking thru the threads and it seems nobodys a fan of surefire? Any reason?

I suppose I shouldn't say I'm not a fan, as I've never handled one, though I doubt I'll ever buy one.  With so many good flashlights available for say $60 or less, I just can't really justify spending $100+ ($100+++ for some models) on a flashlight.  Also, I'm not a fan of the (expensive and sometimes difficult to find) 123A batteries.  I much prefer lights that run on cheap and easy-to-find AA or AAA batteries.

[fordmechanic]

That 100% makes sence ..........as my friend talked me into the sf e2d led which I love cause most fit in a standard scope mount and is currently on my moss 500a's forend but I use sf brand batteries cause my friend used off brand and they exploed.........and their expencive, dont last long and most of the time I gotta get them off line.

OK, third time's a charm as they say, or I hope it is at least.  HH had indeed sent out a incan AAA mini maglite rather than the LED version I wanted, so that's also been sent back and I'm told the correct light is on it's way to me now.  Lets see what I get this time........

[Millhouse]

Fenix E11 and Nitecore SRT 6 have arrived.

[enki_ck]

I see a lot of text and only one pic on this page.

Let's see those new additions.

well as soon as they stop trying to send me a Solitaire I'll post some pics of a AAA mini maglite LED, how about that?  Yes, that's right, they send out another Solitaire (perhaps the same one?) again.  I have worked out what's going wrong though, the label on the back of the Solitaire does indeed claim that it is a AAA mini maglite LED.  It's wrong, but that's what it claims.   So once again the Solitaire headed back to sunny Wales and I'm going to see what's waiting for me when I get home.

[captain spaulding]

Got this with my Orange Fuse and am really impressed. I have been using it almost every day.

[nervium]

a nebo 5 function 3aa.

[ltriant]

My Klarus Mi X6. I've had it for 3-4 months now so it's showing a tiny bit of use. Need to give it a clean so it's nice and shiny again!

[Essexman]

SWM D40A. 4AA flashlight, very nice UI, as bright as the sun.

[Sazabi]

Holy smurf that's thick. o.o

[enki_ck]

Very cool looking Sunwayman, that D40A. Did you have a chance to try it out yet? Did you need it for work or just wanted a portable sun.



Very affordable too.

[Millhouse]

Nitecore SRT3 Defender.

[Gareth]

I'm liking the look of that Nitecore Millhouse.

[kirk13]

Olight i3EOS to replace my clicky stitch Tank at work.

Damn tank kept switching itself on in my pocket

[Essexman]

It's thick because it has 4AAs

Been playing with it a bit. I love the UI, far better than the Nitecore EA4. The quality of the Sunwayman lights exceeds nitecore as far as I'm concerned, great lights.

No not needed for work, I just like lights.

[kiak]

I just received two Sipik SK68 clones - one for the car, and the other for my father. So far I played a liitle with mine and can say that this is very good light for the money I payed!

Did the LED Solitaire ever arrive? This saga needs closure.

[Gareth]

Nope, no AAA Mini Maglite yet.  I'll need to give them a nudge.

See, even I got confused with all the Maglites you've been receiving and sending back. Yes, I meant to say the Mini Mag.
