A pair of High CRI Foursevens Minis should be here today. :D

 :pok: There is more in the review section

It was bought from Bangood but it is now sold out/ not availble (there was a promotion on BLF)
This was the smaller model, by the way...
A search for "flashlight baton q5" shows a few.
Here is a picture of a few, from BLF.

I have been carrying it (at home  :D ) all day. It is an interesting item for sure.

Prometheus Beta QR.  This is the HA anodized version

It's not the brightest light, but it does feel good in hand and it has a Quick Release ring built in.

No mister police officer, I'm not walking around at night with a baseball bat in my hand, that's my flashlight.

Why do you think people buy the 6D Maglites...   :D 
I assume they are acceptable and they are cheap too.

I might have accidentally bought another flashlight.  :facepalm:

4sevens is having a inventory sale with prices down to even 50% so I was browsing around and saw the tiny CR2 model going for $20, tried the cpf8 code and it reduced it to $18.40. So I bought it. :oops:

180 lumens out of a 2 inch flashlight? That I gotta see. >:D


The CR123 and 2xAA Quarks are a bargain to at $30 but I already have those. ;)

NoOooOooO! Why did you have to post that? I just ordered two more CR2 Minis...and the 360* Headlamp kit for my Atoms. I actually had my CR2 Mini in my pocket today, I love that light. One of the few that can actually kick a Zebralight out of my pocket.

How easy/cheap are the CR2 cells for you gents to pick up?

Now you know why some call me their PSA (Personal Shopping Assistant). >:D Did you ever try using 15270 li-ion batteries in them?  I prefer using rechargeable batteries but can't seem to find AW 15270s, can you recommend another good brand?

The primaries, I always get from BatteryJunction.Com. They sell Titanium Innovations CR2 cells for $1 each. Same for CR123a cells. I just order ten or so, and shipping is about $2-3. They're a good brand and a lot of folks have tested and vouched for them on CPF. I like them.

There's a thread on CPF Marketplace from a AW dealer, and I saw that he has the size for CR2 Li-ion rechargeables. They're only 300MAh though, so I've stayed away from them for the time being. I may try them out in the future, if I can pick up some spacers for them to fit my Intellicharger. Anyway, I'll try to dig up the link for you when I get to my PC.

Found it. 350mAh and unprotected :-\ He does have spacers too. I'll have to think about it. Not sure if it's worth it.

Recently picked up a Maratac copper CR123...lovely torch :tu:

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

Those copper Maratacs look so cool and even better after it ages a bit. I was so close to buy AAA version but got Olight eos i3 recently so could not justify buying another similar light.

I had a copper AAA from the second run but had to move it on due to money troubles...lovely little torch :tu:
I already have 2 other single cell CR123 lights so didn't really need another but knowing that this is a limited run I had to get one :D its a heavy lump and very well made my only gripe is the threads are a little short and I was worried about the head coming off and being lost...easily sorted with some plumbers PTFE tape ;)

I bought it from endtimesreport and got a great deal...Miles is a good guy to deal with :tu:

Received the Olight for Christmas. It's been awhile since I was into flashlights, but this one may suck me back in. Beats the light app on my iphone by a bit.

Yes, I expect it would. :D  The S10 is a light I keep looking at again and again.  I've still not quite pulled the trigger, but I suspect it might just be a matter of time.

I love everything about the S10 except for the button, it too easy is turned on in my pockets.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Yeah. I did catch the light on in my pocket a couple times. I started using the lockout feature and haven't had a problem since.

Just got a FourSevens Penlight. Nice light. Throws a wider beam than my Preon 2.  Right now I prefer the beam on the Preon 2 but I will carry the penlight for a couple weeks and see how it works out. I do like the clickie on the penlight better. Not as sensitive as the Preon 2 clickie.
