WOW, is this a normal, regular, average AA mini maglite ?! Because the AAA is .... really smaller, LOL! HM.
well, it's the AA Mini-Maglite LED and it has a slightly longer head than the original version, but basically yes.

Great, now I'm not a big fan of MagLite, but now this thing wants me to like it ... too bad for my wallet

Thanks guys. I've always thought so too. That's why I've hung onto it all these years. I really should carry it more. The light on my phone is what I normally use.

If you ever decide to retire it or find it a new home, send me a PM and maybe we can work something out.

@Gareth

Glad you finally got it.

Great, now I want one. NOW. Gr.

Can you .... confirm the specs are near to the stated ones ?! I mean... 260 lumens for 2 hours out of one AA... this is ... a lot in comparison to my favourite Fenix E11 which is... 115 lumens for less than 2hrs. And the price of this Sipik looks tempting...

maba · **Reply #548 on:** September 08, 2013, 02:23:37 AM

Works 2 hours. LM? I don't know. Maybe ~150, perhaps less - it's zoom, so hard to say

Gareth · **Reply #549 on:** September 08, 2013, 11:19:39 AM

I would think 260 lumen is possible from a 14500 (3.7V) cell but I don't think it is likely to be from a normal AA (1.2-1.5V). Maba's guesstimate of somewhere in the region of 120-150 lumen is much, much more plausible.

N_N_R · **Reply #550 on:** September 08, 2013, 02:32:07 PM

Haha, yeah, indeed

It's probably rated lumens and not out the front lumens. Also it's based on 100% efficiency and ins perfect world. I would bet that about 150 is correct

Okay, I also got one Sipik (black or grey/can't tell from the picture) for $5 from eBay

Prey with me for it to arrive

N_N_R · **Reply #553 on:** September 23, 2013, 02:06:19 PM

ookay, my own Sipik SK68 is here

I like it very much, it's so small! It looked bigger in the pictures. We'll see how it performs tonight...

And I believe I meant "pray" above ^

ducttapetech · **Reply #554 on:** September 23, 2013, 03:16:55 PM

Is it black or grey?
Have fun with you new light.

N_N_R · **Reply #555 on:** September 23, 2013, 03:51:24 PM

It's black

The orange button and the yellow triangle look cool on it, lol. Only if the clicky were glow-in-the-dark... lol

ducttapetech · **Reply #556 on:** September 23, 2013, 05:22:33 PM

Sounds cool. So.....where are the pics?

Gareth · **Reply #559 on:** September 23, 2013, 06:43:35 PM

I have to admit I had always thought it looked bigger that that as well. Looks good though.

N_N_R · **Reply #560 on:** September 23, 2013, 08:27:31 PM

I'm actually amazed at the amount of light this cheap thing gives *crazy* My favourite Fenix E11 is 4 times more expensive and the Sipik seems to drown it... bot in spill and brightness. Of course, the Fenix may be tougher, more economical, more throw, more waterproof, more blah blah blah, but I'm indeed pleasantly surprised with the Sipik/whatever other names they have **crazy**

N_N_R · **Reply #561 on:** September 24, 2013, 05:54:29 PM

It doesn't have a momentary on.... but it does have a momentary off.

:D That's gotta count for smth.

My flashlight - Armytek Predator XP-G2

Gareth · **Reply #563 on:** September 26, 2013, 07:52:12 PM

That's a good looking light Tim.

timpower · **Reply #564 on:** October 15, 2013, 11:29:59 AM

Thank you. I love it so much!:)

Gareth · **Reply #565 on:** October 24, 2013, 11:49:53 PM

Here are my latest two lights;

A discontinued Victorinox 2xAAA (from our own Dr Gonzo) and a Ultrafire z2. Both good lights in their own way.

Slap a 14500 in there. The Sipik goes nuts with 3.7V batteries.

Uh, don't look at the emitter, though. That wouldn't be good.

N_N_R · **Reply #567 on:** October 25, 2013, 08:33:55 AM

Wow, Gareth, why does this Ultrafire look a little weirdly shaped? I mean, what's that part sticking to the side after the clicky switch?

Ummmmmmmm..... I actually already sold the Sipik.... together with my Fenix E01, E25 and some other stuff..... to collect money for my new flashlight..which is this:

And honestly, the fault which I found with the Sipik was that it ate through batteries way too quickly in comparison to what I'm used to. But I still think it's a great flashlight for a great price. I just got that.. bug telling me to buy a LD12, didnt have the money and did a major... "cleaning around"
