Got my new orange Tube in today.



It's very much like my old black one, except it's orange.  What else did you expect? :D

I didn't know they did that [added a lockout] and It's definitely a good idea.

Cheers mate. :cheers:  I've now confirmed that mine doesn't do that and I might have an excuse to buy a new one. :D

...and my spurious justification for a new Tube at least works.  I'm not sure I'll ever use it, but at least it's an option.

you can use your other one as a closet light(not sure if you call it wardrobe over there). I mount or hang these 5mm style lights in the closet and other dark areas that have no lighting.

Yes, it's a wardrobe here, and that's definitely a good idea.  Of course I might just let my wife have the other one. :D

I still have three of the original versions, all of which still work perfectly fine. I have had the occasional pocket activation, but as this is mainly a back up light, it's usually not a major problem aside from making me look like I have a radioactive testicle. Also, being rechargable (the light, not the testicle), it's easy to remedy premature drainage  :whistle:

I've never had a huge issue with premature drainage either, but perhaps I've just reached that certain age. :shrug:

We don't need to worry till we get as old as dks, then you don't get any activation at all without switching the batteries to the small blue ones with a V on them. Apparently an elastic band and a can of spray on starch, can be useful too.

Nah, I break them too easily, and can never figure out how the warranty replacement system works  :think:

Indeed.  If you mix it in with some food it goes down better.

I took the tube off my keychain and went back to my olight i3e for keychain duty. mainly for another reason which I will describe, but its still decent enough for a keychain light.

then I took the dog tag chain/necklace that my jetbeam mini came with and put the tube on it. I found the mini too rolly/polly for a neck light due to the round shape. the tube lays nice and flat on your chest.

I can definitely see the Tube working well as a neck light.  Good idea mate. :tu:

I'm liking it, very lightwieght, almost negligible, when you reach to turn it on, if it has flipped over it doesn't matter since you have to grasp it with 2 fingers anyway

Well one is going to my son, another on my keys. At 45 lumens they should be pretty useful to have to hand.  :tu:
