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. :D Yes, I meant to say the Mini Mag. ;)

and here's me thinking that you were taking the piss. :D

just received these little lights.  im no flashaholic or led junkie so other than these lights work and are brighter than what ill need them for im happy.  a friend has the 2 mode Ti2 that has seen regular use and is a pretty great little light so i figured for the price i had to try them out. btw thanks for the post i saw on MTo recently regarding the sale on these because i have been wanting a AAA for my keys.   

the green is a fantastic color as is the blue. i also got "red" but much like the "red" Ti2 its not red at all its more purple/lilac, that went to my daughters key ring.

The ThruNite Ti series seem to have been a big hit, I know I like my one. :tu:

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!

I must say, there not a bad little light, I have the same thing but black, has off, high, low, and flash. I love the grip, fits perfectly in the hand, and the clip is so freaking tight, not one of those little wire ones! The only thing I don't like of it is the funky look of the eye and how if you zoom in it gives you a square chip, but hey it does the job and for the cost, I definitely got no beef! JR

im not much of a light enthusiast but i can tell the difference in output/quality/color to an extent and the Ti is pretty nice little light.  i have a olight i2 that i also really like and a led lenser p3 that can with my wave as a bundle.  i wanted something for my keys or LM sheath side elastic compartment.  im really happy so far and as mentioned the colors are way cool.

OK, this is a cheap flashlight ( $6.98 )  but I think it is very useful due to the cool feature it has. 
This light in no way replaces those amazing lights I see in this forum, but it is cool for the price.  :tu:



now after a little magic  :sa:




and one more trick  :o




TA DA!   :whistle:

also, there is a magnet built in around the light end
If I can help, let me know

I like it,  and the magnet is strong enough to hold the light securely on the bottom of anything ferrous.

I decide to give it a try to a marvelous blue Thrunite Ti with 10440 battery. I start the Hi mode verry rarely, because the light gets too hot.The Lo-mode with this battery is around 60 lumens and that's more than enough for daily (nightly) basis.

And the saga, I suspect, continues. :facepalm:  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. :ahhh

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........ :D

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. :doh:  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. :D

Could it be?  Is it just possible that I have a 2xAAA Mini-Maglite on the way?  We'll just have to wait and see. :D

Yes, I wanted to by this one for several reasons - the color is great, it is special edition GG anniversary flashlight, and - everybody can buy black or blue or red or gold, but this one has personality! And for me, this is important.  8)

cowsmilk, I think yours aren't very common, are they?  :tu:

Thanks, Enki! The Piccolo lives in my pocket kit, as you may already know. The Nautilus, however, I'm not sure of yet. It's a beautiful light though. I'm just so used to my HDS clicky that the Nautilus may not stay too long. Here is a comparison shot with my HDS.

Hard to believe they both use the same battery.

Yes, I've seen that people has started getting them in after MANY months waiting. Hopefully you can get yours soon and can tell us how you like it then. :cheers:

 :mail: :woohoo:

I am now the happy owner of a 2xAAA Mini-Maglite LED.  Was it worth the wait?  First impressions are good, though the incandescent version is a torch that I have very fond memories (being my first quality light), so there is a chance I am biased. ;)

So, I picked this pack up at my local hardware store.

$30!



now the main negative I have (besides the fact that my wife stole one within 20 seconds of me opening it) is that you have to go through all the modes to turn it off.

the other minor negative is a red glow on the power button to indicate low battery is considered a mode.

however, the lights are very bright, and they they glow for a few minutes after you turn off the light.
If I can help, let me know

That looks like a pretty good deal for $10 a piece.  :D :tu:

FordEx Group 300lm Mini Cree Led Flashlight Torch Adjustable Focus Zoom Light Lamp from Amazon.  Only a few bucks with free shipping.

Ordered a Prometheus Alpha Ready-Made.  Hopefully someday I can get a Bespoke made.

Hoping to get a call about a Fenix PD35 tomorrow.

I  gotta make sure the wife doesn't see everything together, lol.
I have stopped buying knives and multi-tools though.
