Today, and pretty much every day, I've got my red Fenix L0D on my keyring and I've been carrying my 2AAA mini-maglite with the TLE-20 drop-in in my messenger bag.

I carried the one on the left. It's single mode, powered by 2xCR/RCR123 and as bright as my L2D Q5 on turbo. Sweet little light with very fine build quality!

Mag minilite with led drop-in upgrade.  I have this on my side everyday, day and night, and you'd be suprised how often it comes in handy during daylight hours.  Looking for things under the couch, in my car, or at work.  My co-workers laughed at me for carrying one during the day, until they needed it when looking for something, like an escaped animal, in which case they thought it very handy.

RA Clicky EDC Tactical. It came this morning.

It's the first light I have that uses the Osram Golden Dragon LED. It's amazing so much light can come from such a small LED.

Lol.  I use my Fenix LD01 for that, though I have to be careful to use the spill beam only so I don't blind that patient.  Its very good for looking into patients mouths though.

for the past 4 months or so i've carried a RA 120 EDC T in a concealco holster daily. since i'm trying to incorporate a swiss spirit into my edc i added a clip to my D10 clip to my hip pocket for the past week and the spirit in the holster on on my belt. for this the D10 is working great. the clip for the RA is it's only shortcoming.

that EO1 is a lot of light for the money. everyone should have this light. i've had mine for several months now and it's still working on the same 1/2 dead alk. battery i stuck in it when i got it. it's running on moon mode now but that is still good enough when you need a light.

Lately I've been carrying the SAR5 from ExtremeBeam that Grant and I picked up at SHOT.  I have to say, the more I carry this thing, the more I like it.  The clip on mine broke, but I've come to appreciate the little sheath they've included with the light.

You can read the review Grant did of the SAR5 by clicking the following link...

I switched back to carrying a 4th generation (latest version) Inova X1 today instead of a Streamlight Stylus Pro.   They both output about the same amount of light, though the X1 throws a little farther and the Stylus Pro has a bit brighter spill.   Backup was an ARC AAA-P.

I relied on the Inova X1 tonight to inspect a used stepladder before purchasing it.  The seller had stored the ladder in a dimly lit garage and I used the X1 to get a better look in detail.

I've been carrying this combo since I got the Q-MiNi, and I love the versatility of it.  Great output and runtime w/the Li-Ions, but the option of running both lights on AA if need be. :multi:

Today was the typical:  Photon II on my keychain, Maratac AAA in my coin pocket, and Fenix L2D CE in my bag (though it was my messenger bag today); I decided to remove my Fenix E01 (just no way to carry it well in my messenger, and it now resides in my Mug Boss for now. :)

I carried a Streamlight Stylus Pro and ARC AAA-P during the day.

UPS delivered a new 200 lumen Inova T4 rechargeable flashlight this afternoon. 

After a 2-hour charge, I used it during a mile long walk in a snow storm.  The T4 is now my brightest light.  Brought along a Surefire E2L, Inova T1, and ARC AAA-P as backups.

Went back to an oldie, fenix p3d-ce (r2). It developed excessive thread play, since I can't warranty it, it was downgraded to car light duty. Today I finally fixed it so it's back in pocket.

Thanks! It started as high polish but that didn't work well, fenix aluminum is too soft and scratches from just pocket carry. So I taped it to my drill and gave it a brushed finish.

I'm back to the NiteCore D10 today, running on 14500.  I just can't seem to keep this one out of my pocket.  I really like everything about it except for the ringy beam.  I will probably buy an XP-E version soon, which should solve that issue.

How did you fix the thread play?

I found some aluminum tape that's just the right thickness. Cut a strip to wrap around the thread on body tube, then install the head, and it's perfect, zero play. Kitchen foil won't work, they don't stay in place and either get pushed out or jam to top and short out the two contacts so it's on turbo all the time.

I tried to carry my Fenix LD20 in the Fenix sheath today, but it was uncomfortable.  I have a standard belt, maybe 2" wide...but the opening on the sheath is about 4"...so after a bit the sheath starts to swivel and just generally move around a piss me off:P

The LD20 itself is a great light, but it's going to be attached on the outside of my EDC pack from now on, or until I can find a decent sheath for it.  Another gripe about the sheath is that you can't fit the light in there with the pocket clip on it or the supplied lanyard due to the round plastic fastener on the lanyard.

My only gripe about the light itself is the tailcap switch..it's too small.  I wish it would be a little more pronounced/stick out a bit more. 

All that and I didn't even use it today :twak:

(http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee21/edap617/Flashlights/S6304078.jpg)

Everytime I have a new light I always dismantle it, and then clean and lubricate the threads and o-rings. Notice the thick asperic lens.

The PCB is already desoldered from the pill in the picture. I moded this light from single mode to 5 modes by changing the PCB.

That's pretty cool.  :tu:

I'd love to have a device that charged USB-powered gadgets from 18650.  The fact that this has a USB flashlight head is just icing on the cake, really.

How reliable is the 18650 charger?  Do you know what charger algorithm it uses, and/or what voltage at which it cuts off?

OK so I was trying a new, cheap 2xAAA light today at work.  I found that the 1xAA format I like to carry at other times just doesn't sit well with my overalls so I was looking for a 2xAAA light to try out the size/format.  This one is pretty basic and not of the highest quality but it was also cheap so I'll forgive it that.  A bit of a blue tinge to the LED but the output is just fine for detail work where you don't want to blind yourself, a claimed 40 Lumen.

I picked it up in a TK Maxx (or TJ Maxx where you are).  I suspect the 40 Lumen is a bit optimistic but it's still a usable amount of light.  It is quite a long light as it's a focusable lens (flood to spot) and the head is a fair size.

I think you would actually struggle to find any brand of light that had anywhere near the amount of options Surefire has with both their own range and the aftermarket range of accessories.  The 6P for example has to be the most user customisable light there is.

But if they don't suit you the RA is a nice light too.  I just know (when funds allow) my next biggie light purchase will be a Surefire - no question.  :gimme:

You may have a point there Mike. Although I don't think I would have a problem reading for long periods of time with the low on the 6PX Pro. Different light for different needs though. There is no perfect light for all purposes. Sometime you want a throwy light, sometimes a foody diffused beam light. Sometimes a ton of light. Sometimes a ton of runtime. I think the 6PX is good in all regards. Until another light catches my eye that is.  :D

I don't want it to seem that I'm bad mouthing RA lights I'm just speaking from my experience. But if you really want some info to make a informed decision go over to CPF and read some of the early RA/HDS threads. People seem to forget. There were some problems when the light first came out. That was one of the problems with mine the first time.
It's still a great light and I carry one everyday as a back up light that I can clip to my hat if need be. I just wouldn't sell off all my lights to get one. In the end I think you would be disappointed.

To be fair, Surefire generally are "tactical" lights.  Bedside reading is not the general angle they are going for here.  :D

So, it wouldn't be fair to compare a Ra to a Surefire?  Are Ra lights not tactical?  Ra's will output lower lumens than all of the lights Mike mentioned (H50, Infinity, etc.)

My HDS can be adjusted much lower than 1 lumen, and I consider it a tactical light.

I think the point Mike is trying to make is that he wants a light that offers low output so he can read.  If that's the case, then the Ra will be a much better choice for him over a Surefire with a ~10 lumen low.

That problem has been resolved.  So, don't buy an early one and you'll have a fairly bombproof light.  

Similarly, there are threads at CPF that I can lead you to that describe problems with early examples of some Surefire models.  Those problems have also been resolved.

This is a good sign for both companies.

To be fair, Surefire generally are "tactical" lights.  Bedside reading is not the general angle they are going for here.  :D

So, it wouldn't be fair to compare a Ra to a Surefire?  Are Ra lights not tactical?  Ra's will output lower lumens than all of the lights Mike mentioned (H50, Infinity, etc.)

My HDS can be adjusted much lower than 1 lumen, and I consider it a tactical light.

I think the point Mike is trying to make is that he wants a light that offers low output so he can read.  If that's the case, then the Ra will be a much better choice for him over a Surefire with a ~10 lumen low.

My point was that Surefire aren't aimed at balding men who want to enjoy a good Warhammer novel before bed.  :D  :rofl:

Just different lights for different applications.

You guys crack me up.

 :D

My new go-to keychain light is the 4Sevens Preon Revo, in neutral tint, stainless steel.  Costly (works out to about $64, ouch!) but a great little light.  It has replaced my other EDCs (Illuminati, Maratac AAA, Fenix L0D,  etc, which were all modded with neutral emitters).

These days I carry a modded Ra Clicky (Neutral XP-G mod), but it varies, sometimes a Nitecore D10, Quark AA/CR123, Lumapower Trust 1, etc.  The pocket edc varies depending on my mood, the keychain one is supposed to be always with me.

Took the same kit with me when I was the match doctor at the boxing here a few weeks ago. Got some interesting injuries from that I tell you  :D

Purchased and carried a Surefire 6PL-KX4 today.  Took it for my hour walk, fed it with the
Tenergy rechargeables and they lasted exactly 1hr before the protection circuits kicked in
and the lamp went out.  The kx4 head has an amazing amount of spill and is a super head
for walking at night.
I also looked at the new line the 6px-pro but decided against it being a little more power
than I need at the expense of runtime.  :think:  Nice light though.

I'm enjoying EDCing a TK20 at the moment.  Its a surprisingly simple and satisfying light to use on a daily basis.

Used it at a firework display the other day to light the path on the way through the park to the display.  It got lots of interested looks thanks to it's output - most other people were using very cheap incans.

What's the spec's on the NovaTac mate (still a Jamie newb after all!) ???

It's an early US-made 120P (HAIII).  It is fitted w/an HDS 2xCR123 body running a 17670 Li-Ion battery.  HDS lights will accept 6.0V from 2xCR123, but that voltage is too high for the Novatac.  You can also run 18650 in this body with some modification.

The body has given this light new life for me.  I have sworn off of CR123/RCR123 lights for the most part, favoring the AA/14500 format.  I just can't give this light up though because, IMO, it has the most versatile UI ever designed for a flashlight.  The RA UI is basically the same, but with the RA I would be stuck with CR123/RCR123 and a really crappy pocket clip.

I've upgraded the emitter too...

Though the clip on the RA looks awful, and ruins the aesthetic, it does certainly look very functional.

It's not a bad little light.  Very handy size, and the grippy rubber makes it easy to handle.  Mine ended up with a busted solder connection in the head...not a big deal to fix, but just know that it might happen.  Also, if it starts acting strangely, change the battery.  Its behavior near the end of battery life is a bit weird.

After spending the last few weeks carrying my iTP A2 in Stainless (a light I'm extremely happy with) I thought I'd try my new Gerber Infinity for a little while.  For some reason I had it in my head that the Infinity would be a bigger light than it is, so finding out that it's very nearly as small as my iTP A2 was a pleasant surprise.  :)

Humm, perhaps. :think:  problem is that I know so very little about lights compared to MTs and SAKs.  I'll maybe string some thought together after carrying it for a while.

Hi all,

new member here, and right now CPF has been down for over a week, so I'm glad I found another forum to talk flashlights in.  :D

My EDC light is a Zebralight SC50w+ which I love dearly; easily my favorite pocketable light, and my second favorite light overall after my Jetbeam Jet-3 Pro ST.

Brand spankin' new Inova T1.  Newest version with the Cree XP-E emitter.  I'm still unconvinced of the efficacy of the 2xCR123a format, but I'll give it at least a little time.

I was hesitant to buy a ZL at first, not so much because of the complaints about their QC I'd read over at CPF, but more because I thought the UI was overly complex.  But I wanted a new pocket light, and my old NiteCore EZAAw wasn't cutting it for me anymore; not a low enough low or high enough high, but I also wanted something neutral tint as well; the tint of my little NiteCore was/is beautiful, I'm pretty sure it's a 5B since it's a little warmer, despite the fact it was advertised as having a 5B.  Anyway, I couldn't find anything else in a reasonably pocketable size with a 5A/B emitter and Zebralight was the only one that had a nice clip that I could actually get.  D10's were long gone by then (still sorry I missed the boat on one of those).

Once I got the ZL though, I had it down in less than a day, and now it's easily my favorite UI of all the lights I have.  I'm very fond of the IBS UI on the Jetbeams though too, but the instant access to either low or high on the ZL is what really makes it great.  I put a circle of DC-fix on the lens of mine and while it doesn't make the beam a pure flood, it does spread out the hotspot nicely and makes an already floody light pretty much perfect for 98% of the EDC tasks I have from day to day.  I've had it for about 4 mos. now, and I don't see anything as displacing it right now as my primary EDC.  I've got a nice Quark AA with an R4/5A emitter head that I bought piecemeal from 4Sevens, and it's a nice light, but the pre-flash issue with it is annoying, kind of ruins the whole point of having a 'moonlight' mode.  So I use it as a secondary EDC; I keep it on max with a 14500 in it as a pocket rocket for when I need more throw than the ZL gives me.

NutSAK, thanks. :D  (I go by B0wz3r over at CPF btw.)

Interesting that you put a film on your ZL, I'd understood that they were pretty floody already so I'm guessing you must have been trying to go for a total flood. :)

Oh and welcome to the forum, as Terry says we're more than happy to have some torch talk here as well. :cheers:

Well, now that its not so dark out after work these days, I've put my "serious" lights aside again and I'm favoring the ones that offer lighter carry.  Today it's the 4Sevens Q-MiNi NW running on 14500.

I guess it's one more flashlight season down and another knife/tool season to go!

You know, the funny thing is, it doesn't make it a total flood light.  What it does is spread the hotspot out more and make the boundaries of it more diffuse so there's a more gradual transition from the hotspot into the spill zone.  I really like it, because my one qualm with the Zebralights I have is they all have a relatively small hotspot compared to the size of the spill beam, so the DC-fix really drops my only real complaint about the light.  Of course, now it doesn't throw much at all, so I suppose I could complain about that, but flood is best for 95% of all the things I use my EDC light for.

Another nice thing about the ZL's is their tints are very consistent; every w model I've got is very similar in their tints, which I prefer.  My favorite tint is the 5A/B bin, about 4500K, and I'm become aware that ZL puts a lot of effort into getting emitters that are just the tint they want.  I found that out from an email from Lillian Xu from them a few months ago when I was inquiring about new models they now have in production.  She indicated that the sole holdup at the time was that they wanted to make sure they got the tint they wanted for the emitters before they went into production.  In comparison, while I cut my flashaholic teeth on Quarks, and they are still great values for the money, I don't really buy them much anymore because their tints are so bloody inconsistent, varying from plain vanilla white to a ghastly and vile green in some of their neutral models. 

For me, it's all about tint and beam profile; I'm willing to sacrifice a few lumens for it, and so far ZL hasn't let me down.

I've oft thought of buying an A2, particularly a stainless one like that... but I honestly have no real need for it given the nearly dozen other lights I already have...  it is a nice looking light though, and the clip is definitely a bonus... something I wish my EZAAw and my Q-mini nw had...  :P
Title: Re: What light did you carry today?
Post by: Gareth on March 10, 2011, 07:17:59 PM
Yeah the clip was certainly one of the deciding factors when I want for the A2.  When at home it just sits on my keys ready to be used if needed but that's not very often, at work however I use it regularly so I keep it clipped to a pocket.  Nice to have the flexibility. :)

How do you like the construction.

I have a 17mm circuit I really want to use for a 18650 light.  Was looking for a nice inexpensive host.  THis may fit the bill.

I also like the Yezl Z5 I think it was, but that is about $10 more...

Summer weather here and I'm finding my self with less pockets than needed. 

Today I went back to an old friend the LiteFlux LF2-XT, I needed to read the manual quickly to be sure I knew how to operate it and I have it in CUI (easy mode).  I'm still packing a couple other lights, but wanted to test the LiteFlux to be sure it's reliable and and I can remember how to use it, so when I need to slim down I'll feel comfortable putting it in the pocket. 

It is a really nice light.  I'll have to try to find by 10440 charger, had to put an alkaline in it for now.

Interesting.... sounds like a job for a ZebraLight, but that one you have is pretty freaky... I'll have to look into that.

Been trying to sort through my lights and light parts so I used several different ones through the day.  Kept the LF2-XT wilth me and my SC60w, but used Quark AA Tactical... still not too excited about it so I think it will be up for sale.  Used a couple small AAA lights of iTP A3 origin, but shiny ones.  found the pocket clip for my original Jetbeam RRT-0 with AA extender.  I was not really into clips when I got it, so it had never been installed.  Put it on there as I played with the light.  Really nice, but with the variable control lights out there the 3+ levels seem kind of limiting with their current spacing, and that funky method of selecting the low-low is interesting.

Used the Jet-III M just to reprogram the user mode to a medium output level as it was set to strobe, and I'm not using it in the vehicle any more so I figured I didn't need strobe. 

I'm going to be setting up a Olive-Green G2Z with M60L as my vehicle light now, but it will take a week or so to round up the pieces.

I found several lights I was not looking for, and several parts I don't remember buying... but I didn't find a couple things I was really looking for.  They will probbaly turn up when I'm looking for something else.

I have broken the miniclip I use to attach my red-photon to my keychain, but I found my stash so I could fix that and it is back on my keychain.  Nice to havethe little variable red light on the keychain again.  I'd like to know how the heck I popped the spring of the old clip especially on such a light item, I use them for my MiniChamp and stainless steel light and never had an issue.

Today was a big flashlight day in the house.

Today was variable output day.  Did some testing of the Jetbeam RRT-0 variable and the Sunwayman V10R.  These are no doubt the best variable control lights I've used; I was only happy with the Photon Freedom and Proton Pro in the past when it came to variable output, but these lights really are quite nice.  The control ring on the V10R is VERY nice, but overall the RRT-0 seems like a more solid and well machined light (we're talking Titanium versions here).  Looking in boxes, playing with the controls, and a short trip outside, these lights still impressed.  They will be staying in the collection.  For around the house the variable output was quite nice as I switched from task to task.  The Jetbeam probably cost me too much, but the Sunwayman V10R-Ti I think is worth it and is small and light enough to be a great EDC.

Today I added the HDS Rotary to my pocket.  Since someone thought it would be OK to release this light without a clip it only gets pocket time when I can spare a pocket.  It is a nice light, much like the previous version from HDS and US made Novatac models. 

I've customized the programming on the light to my current likes and we'll see how it works out.  I'm undecided about the rotary on this light, but I don't think it detracts from the operation of the light, but it meant removal of the clip at least for the timebeing and that to me just does not seem acceptable.  I also used some diffusion film to improve the beam radiation pattern and quality since I'm now use to very nice beams on several of my EDC lights.

Anyway I'll be carrying it on and off for a while to see how it works out.

Pocketed them both this morning to remind me to check batteries before I go camping.

Given the style of LED it has, and the fact it's well recessed, it's not really necessary I suppose.  But I do get where you are coming from.

I believe your Quark Mini AA is very similar to my iTP A2, if I'm right then it's a cracking light IMO.  Small enough to just drop in a pocket or hang on a keyring, bright enough for close to medium work and has far better run times compared to a AAA light, what's not to like? :tu:

Carried my Surefire LX2 today. I like this light a lot, but as an EDC, I'm finding it a bit big. For example, if I'm wroking on something with both hands, I can't really stick it between my teeth like I can with my stylus pro frankenlight.

I shall persist however, to at least give the idea of running with a bigger torch with much better runtime a go.

At that angle, it almost looks like a Surefire M2 with an LX2 clip on it. (you can tell I've got Surefire on the brain right?)

I've gotten a custom bored Surefire C2 recently, with an 18650 battery and a Malkoff P61L drop in. I thought the LX2 was built like a tank. This thing is a brick. Now I'm hunting for the ultimate P60 drop in for it.

I've been wanting more output and run-time lately, so I've shelved my SC50w+ (which has been my pocket EDC for over a year now) in favor of my new SC60w.

When the neutral version of the new SC80 comes out, I'm going to get a couple of them, but they're going to be bike lights for me, not for general EDC.

Had to break out the big guns today though and raid the EDC bag for the Lumapower D Mini VX with the extender tube for the 18650 battery. Daylight, but we were trying to survey the collector mounting on a 10 tonne overhead travelling crane from ground level about 40 ft up in an old factory. The electrician I was with shone his 1W led and noticed virtually differecne, so I fired up the Mini VX and BAM - clear as anything. The sparky's jaw dropped and he said "Where the SMURF did you get THAT??"

The electrician I was with shone his 1W led and noticed virtually differecne, so I fired up the Mini VX and BAM - clear as anything. The sparky's jaw dropped and he said "Where the SMURF did you get THAT??"

Cool when you get to do that, isn't it? 8)

today I've been carrying my somewhat more modest E05 and Jetbeam Jet-1 PRO. :tu:

Big ol' Surefire 6PX pro, keep thinking about selling it for a smaller light, but always back down at last minute.

That and a 47 preon revo my keys, but it's there for back up and rarely gets used.

I carried my new LED Lenser L6.  I know that LL lights don't get much respect from flashaholics, but I am impressed with this light.  I carry it while walking my dog in the early mornings and in the evenings.  Its plenty bright, comfortable to carry and the focusing beam is a real asset.

I used to carry a E01 on my keychain and was really happy when upgrading to the E05 the beam is a lot nicer and way more useful. Plus you can use the clip from a tire gauge to clip it to your hat for some hands free work. The only downfall in my opinion is runtime but you still get a good amount of time out of a little light.

I've been carrying the 47 AA tactical and a Fenix E01 for about two weeks now. I believe it's time to switch to lithiums. I left my E01 with an alkaline inside for a few minutes in the cold outside weather and it got dim. When I picked it up in my hand it got brighter again as it warmed up. And it isn't even that cold yet, only about -2°C/28,4°F (we had  -21°C/-5,8°F last year)

Got my high CRI Quark Regular 123 from Going Gear today.

I am pleased to report the tint is absolutely beautiful!  One of, if not the best, tints of any light I've ever had.  After my recent disappointments with 4Sevens, it has restored some of my faith in their brand.

The best description I can provide is that it's a peachy, rosy sort of tint.  I can see absolutely no green in it at all, on any level.  The hotspot is smaller than I'd like, having gotten used to what XML's can do, but I'm happy to live with it given the beautiful tint.  Some diffusion film will easily solve that problem.

I like it so much, I'm going to order another right away.

that switch arrangement looks interesting, is it easy to get a hang of?

It is pretty intuitive. The main switch (forward clicky) is more protruding than the strobe switch, so your thumb naturally rests on it. Very difficult to activate strobe unless you want it.

The light always comes on in high mode. With the light fully on, pressing the strobe button changes the brightness to medium, then low. There is no memory, so turning the light off always returns it to high. Momentary mode is always high.

Regardless of whether the light is on or off, pressing and holding the strobe button will activate strobe.
Title: Re: What light did you carry today?
Post by: Gareth on December 20, 2011, 12:48:05 AM
It's actually quite refreshing to see a light that comes on in high, it seemed for a long time every single light that was being produced went L-M-H.  Not that there is anything wrong with that, but sometimes you just want lots of light without having to cycle through modes.  As it happens I've got that Jetsteam set up as H-M-L and am quite happy with it. :)

As someone who changes what light I carry on a regular basis (though not as often as my MT, I admit) I thought I'd give this thread a kick into 2012. ;)

So today my Romisen RC-29 was doing most of the work, though I did also have my ThruNite T10 on my keys.

(http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/gareth_SAKs/Torches/025.jpg)

Funny you should bump this one. I was just looking at it again as Trunite has another one of those sales T10 or T20 +Ti for $30. And I'm not sure I'll be able to resist this time.

How has it been serving you so long? What do you think of the mode spacing? The very big jumps from +100 to 9 to 0,09 lumens worry me. It turns on in the last mode you left it in, right? How's the beam profile for you? Throw or flood? And anything else you might find interesting or worth saying would be highly appreciated. :D

Thanks :salute:
Title: Re: What light did you carry today?
Post by: Gareth on September 07, 2012, 08:14:04 PM
OK, lots of questions. :D

How has it been serving you so far?
very well, it's been in my pocket pretty much every day since I got it and I've been using it lots.

What do you think of the mode spacing?
Actually they seem to work really well, the high is plenty bright enough, the medium is fine for smaller spaces.  My only slight thing is that I've not found myself using the moon-mode, but that's more to do with what I tend to use my lights for I think. 

It turns on in the last mode you left it in, right?
Yes it does, and it's the best feature on it I think.  I love the fact that I can just leave it in medium and I know that's what I'll get the next time I switch it on.

How's the beam profile for you? Throw or flood?
definitely more flood than throw and has a cool colour.

Anything else?
It's a crying shame that it doesn't come with a pocket clip, the one above is not original to the light and I've very happy I had something kicking around that fitted.  The split-ring attachment is well done; lets the light hang straight down if hung from a cord or whatever, but also is shaped to let it tailstand.  A little wobbly but still possible.  All-in-all it's a great light IMO. :)

Sadly I don't think it will work. :(  The two stage switch is actually a kind of spring in itself; screw the head down and a piece of metal comes in contact with the + of the cell, keep twisting and that piece of metal bends slightly and makes a second contact on the underside of the metal piece.  Not sure I am explaining that very well. :think:  I might well also be totally wrong and the QTC will work brilliantly. :D  Let us know.

Sadly I don't think it will work. :(  The two stage switch is actually a kind of spring in itself; screw the head down and a piece of metal comes in contact with the + of the cell, keep twisting and that piece of metal bends slightly and makes a second contact on the underside of the metal piece.  Not sure I am explaining that very well. :think:  I might well also be totally wrong and the QTC will work brilliantly. :D  Let us know.


Oh, you explained it perfectly, so good I copied it to the related thread (hope you don't mind  :angel:  ) That was my concern also but it turns out that it only causes a slight problem when first turning it on. I have a 0,3 lumen low version and cause of that spring it jumps right through to something like a regular low. Otherwise it works, for now at least. I'm gonna test carry it on my car keys for some time and report back :D

Here's the thread and video. :salute:

I've been carrying my 4Sevens Preon with an XPG-HCRI emitter as my primary EDC torch the past few weeks.  Right now I'm using the 2xAAA body with it.  I love the small size, light weight, and slim profile of it.  And at about 150 lumens on the max setting it's bright enough that I rarely need to carry another light with a higher output.

I sent the itp thorugh my washing maching last night.  :facepalm:

It worked good all day today.

I've got the SC2 eluma as well, it's an awesome light.  It stays clipped in the PALs webbing on my Rush 12 as a backup light.

As for on person EDC, my staple is still my Leatherman Monarch 300, but I have added a Fenix LD01 on my keys too, I love carrying both.

Took my daughter for a walk yesterday evening, and took one of my HCRI Quarks along, used a 123 body with it for the first time.  (I'm an AA and 18650 guy... not really into CR123's).  I really liked how well the finger-ring thing that comes with the small Quarks worked with the 123 body; much more secure fit than with the AA body.  The smaller size was also nice too.  Not that I'm planning on going with more 123 based lights, but the little Q123 configuration was a nice size, and did everything I needed.

Even though I've argued that the 123 format is pretty much 'legacy' at this point, I won't argue with the compactness advantage it has.

Still, I can't ever see myself buying any light that exclusively uses 2 or more 123 cells.  I'd rather have 1x18650, and get aprox. 50% more run time than 2x123 primaries, or 75% more than RCR 16340's.  18650's just leave 123's in the dust.

I went to a nearby festival on my bike and stayed there later than I expected so it was dark and I had none of my bike torches on my bike.

Luckily I had my Tank007 EO9 on my keychain.

I used some of the leaflets they were giving out to secure it to the bicycle clamps set up for bigger torches.

Worked fine, nice bright beam, good spread!

Why would CR123 be legacy?  Denser energy seems like it would be more popular not less.  Or are you saying rechargeables are replacing primary cells...
Nate, I consider the 123 format "legacy" for two main reasons. 

1) Expense; yeah, you can buy in bulk online and get prices that approach those of top AA primaries, like L91's, but in general, you're going to pay more per cell for a 123 primary than an L91.  I've looked around, and found place to buy L91's in bulk too, at the same price, or less than, 123 primaries in bulk.

2) Form factor limitations; the AA format is pretty much taking over in all kinds of electronic devices, although not so much so in high end torches.  You can scavenge AA's from most any device now days if circumstances call for it.  In general, I consider a quality 1xAA torch to be more useful than a 1x123 torch.  For example, a Quark AA can use alkies, L91's, nimh's, 14505 primaries, or RCR's.  But put the 1x123 body on it, and your power source options drop dramatically.  To me, that additional flexibility you get from being able to use any cell with an AA form factor.

And in general, yeah, I prefer rechargeables over primaries.  I do carry a pair of L91's and a pair of L92's in my EDC bag, as they're lightweight and invaluable when needed, but in general I prefer to be greener and go with nimh's whenever I can.  In the long run, the cost is much, much less as well. 

Of course, the best of both worlds is a torch that can use either AA OR 123 format cells...  I've had my eye on a Zebralight SC80w for a while, but just haven't had the funds to get one.  (And it's not like I don't already have more torches than I need.   :whistle: )  I had an older RRT-0 with the AA extension tube, but ended up trading it because the beam profile didn't suit my needs very well.  Eventually I'll find a torch with an emitter and beam profile I like, that will be able to use both formats, and have enough to buy three or five of them, and then I'll be a happy boy!  (For a while anyway!  :whistle: )

Been toting the Zebralight SC30 around all weekend trying to get to "make friends" with it. It's had a fair bit of use too, nipping out to the car for stuff out of the boot (boot light doesn't work), up and down stairs instead of putting the landing light on, and yesterday I turned on the kitchen light and the bulb blew and tripped out the lighting circuit, so I had to go down into the cellar to reset the breaker

I'm still unsure of it, but I've decided to give it till the end of the first battery and take it from there

Unfortunately DX seems to have withdrawn all their fauxtons from sale.  I have a batch on order from fasttech.com to see what they are like.
They came in today, here are my comments:

I ordered 30 fauxtons from fasttech.com on 10 Jan and they arrived 22 Jan 2013 (Hong Kong -> Australia). They were packed in std (unpadded) ziplock bags inside a padded envelope, quite adequate for the (relatively light) contents.

I ordered 3 x 10 packs of 22,000mcd keychain lights with white LEDs:

SKU 1040705 - 22000mcd White Light LED Flashlight Keychains - Green body (10-Pack) $3.99
SKU 1040702 - 22000mcd White Light LED Flashlight Keychains - Purple body (10-Pack) $3.99
SKU 1040700 - 22000mcd White Light LED Flashlight Keychains - Red body (10-Pack) $3.99

The purple bodied lights were excellent (all 10 worked properly straight up), but I had to put new batteries in 2 of the green-bodied lights, and 7 of the red-bodied lights needed new batteries.

Of the 9 dud lights, 6 batteries were completely dead, 10 had only 10% charge (according to my ZTS battery tester), and 2 had 100% charge.

2 lights had significant amounts of corrosion on the bent LED leg (both where they were bent, and also on the end where they were cut shorter to fit the light).

Once I put new batteries in and scraped off the corrosion all lights worked very well (as you'd expect, there really isn't much to go wrong with only 2 batteries and one LED). I have told Fasttech about the issues, and will report their response.

They all use 2 x CR2016 batteries (I'm not certain, but I seemed to remember when I ordered these it stated 2 x CR2025 in the product description, but now it is correct).


Summary: Buy the purple ones, not the red ones (but it would be a good idea to have some spare batteries anyway, just in case). This is the best price (10 pack) I have found recently for these type of lights.

I really like it Tony.  The modes are well spaced and the mode memory function suits me very well as I've become very frustrated constantly having to cycle through low modes that I don't use very often.  The only thing I would have preferred is if it came with it's own pocket clip, though I managed to scrounge one to fit from another light.

i have a maglite solitaire clipped in my pocket today (not an LED version). i found it in my dads junk pile, figured he wouldnt miss it if i took it out :twak:. maybe im spoiled by modern LED flashlights, but wassup with this incandescent bulb?! i dont remember them being THIS dim :think:.

does anyone have some interesting ways of re purposing this thing? was looking into the LED conversion kits but they cost almost as much as a streamlite stylus.

I know what you mean.  Is it a totally fresh and good quality AAA in there?  I'm also thinking a Lithium AAA will improve things a little but also not sure it's worth the cost.

Having just been looking at the Eagletac's myself recently I'm sure I read that they are a very unusual size Hex screw, 1.55mm or some such.  I'm also reasonably certain I read that they'd send you one if you ask.

Carrying my HCRI Preon on the 1xAAA body with the clicky switch today.  Unfortunately, I busted the o-ring on the tail-cap switch, and the closest match I had on hand was just a tad thicker than the stock one.  Got it to go on the body okay, but now I can't seem to get it to unscrew so I can put it on my 2xAAA body.   :cry:  Guess I'll be using it as a Preon 1 from now on!

i need one of these. so do you clip it in your pocket as well as the chain it to your belt loop?
Title: Re: What light did you carry today?
Post by: nuphoria on February 15, 2013, 03:27:00 PM
Yes, at the moment I'm trying out the belt and braces thing. When unclipped from my pocket is has a good reach and it's easy to detach from my trousers at either end when needed too. I'm currently working on a bit of much thinner steel chain mail, but it's killing me! :ahhh

This one is Alu, so is very light and was easier to make.

Liking this system for the most part :)

Ive been carrying my fenix e05 since I got it a few weeks ago. It took place of my e11 when I have to wear slimmer pants that don't have a roomy 5th pocket to holster it in. The e05 is a very serviceable light. I had my doubts. But it's proven to be bright enough for most applications.

I miss the rear momentary on and brightness of the e11 from time to time.

I've heard good things about that one both from you and dks a number of times, but I don't share the love. Mode selecting on mine is a lottery, you never know in which mode it will start and it sometimes skips a mode. I did clean the threads/tube a few times, checked the threads with a needle and relubed it. No improvement.  :shrug: I like my iTP A3s more. I like the anti roll feature on this one though. :D

Who would have thought it?  I actually carried something other than my D25A Clicky!!  Decided to go with my Thrunite T10.  Actually a very good little 1xAA light that I would be carrying an awful lot more often if it wasn't for my Eagletac.

Three days without my Eagletac!! :ahhh  Sticking with the T10 for now, but it's a struggle. ;)

Been jamming this guy exclusively since I got it.

I do take out the D25AM when I am trail running, but no others have been seeing pocket time lately.

So Al persuaded Gareth out of Zebralights and Gareth persuaded Al into Eagletacs. :D I've been eyeing the D25A Clicky myself. ;) That and the S10 are the only flashlights that currently spike my interest. But then I remember that I have 20+ flashlights already and I really, REALLY don't need another flashlight. :facepalm: I was missing a good headlamp but that will be mended on monday. Tracking says it's in Croatia, but we don't get mail here on the weekends.

I carried my iTP A3 SS for the last few weeks but am thinking it's about time I added a larger flashlight to my pocket this evening. :think: Probably the 47s Quark with the AA tube. (I should really get me some Li-ion batteries for it)

Al, did you have time to play with that nice copper AAA? :D

It is indeed the copper Worm. I am quite impressed with it.

At first I thought I might find the two modes to be lacking, but in reality they are 90% perfect for my daily tasks.

The low is great. The high is a slightly higher than I really need, but I suppose it's nice to have a bit extra sometimes. The beam profile is excellent. It's not a high CRI light, but the tint is pleasing.

How long have you had this? Are you digging it?

I'm trying to decide if I should go with an H600-series light, or the H502C.

The H600 probably has insane output, but I will be using it primarily for trail running, so weight is of concern for me.

Do you think the H600 would be bounce around if worn as a headlamp while running?

I didn't talk Gareth out of the Zebralight .... I tried to trade it with him, BUT I made the fatal error of letting him have a go with it first  :P Admittedly he did swear at it less than I normally do, but the look of confusion and incredulity on his face rivalled the look of intensity and determination on Cupboards face when he tried to operate a Strata's locks one handed  :whistle:

So which headlamp did you go for Nik? Silva Ninox?  :pok: :D :D

Olight EOS is on my "probably get" list too, and I've also been eyeing up 2xAA alternatives as the Quark has started being a little tempremental (prob needs a clean up of the threads etc - but buying something new seems to be a reasonable reaction to the problem too  :P)

The Cu AAA Maratac is nice. Plenty of patina on it, decent clip, and the levels are good, although I wish the low was a teeny bit higher

I liked the specs of the Ninox up until I read "The three AAA battery power source ...". I'm trying to get away from that. Regretfully most headlamp use that battery combo. ::) I was searching for a 1xRCR or 1xAA. My main choice was the Spark SG5 I linked Gareth to in his head torch thread but it was over the no VAT import limit and I paid a few customs fees this year. :( I was searching various forums for something in that category and found a guy from Slovenia, one border apart :D, selling a Zebralight H51w at a decent price. No customs fees, no long waiting for a delivery from Asia or the US. That tipped the scale in favor of the Zebralight. I didn't find the UI as bad as you did and after the initial ::) feeling learned to get along with it. I still think it would be better if they reversed the order so the short press would be for low and long press for high. The thing that annoys me is turning it off. :doh: I think you know what I mean. ;)

A few minutes with some rubbing alcohol on the threads and relubing it should do the trick. Or maybe the switch needs some tightening. There's a video on Going gear youtube page about that. It's too good of a flashlight to get replaced. :D I got a scare with mine about a month ago. I dropped it head first onto concrete from about 2 meters and when I picked it up it wouldn't turn on. :facepalm: I thought I killed it. But when I put the AA tube on it it started working again. :shrug: Now it's working with all three tubes no problem. :think:

The only reason I haven't gotten a Olight i3 EOS is cause it doesn't come in SS. :D I love the iTP versions of it. I've had/have 3 out of 4 versions (didn't get the original 1 mode version) before Olight started making them. The last SS version I liked the best but they aren't available anymore and I'd love a backup. :D So, please Olight, make a SS version. :pok: I'm not a big fan of aggressive knurling the Maratac versions of it have but the copper one looks sexy >:) But yes, a 3 lumen low would be better with maybe a lower high for longer runtimes.

EDIT: spelling

I'm a flashlight luddite, so I'm about 400 yards behind you in terms of knowledge, but I'll try to keep up  :P

Firstly, the Maratac excessive knurling ... I only have this Cu version, and to be honest the knurling is perfect! Grippy but not "abrasive" (Excuse any typo's BTW - the rum and cola I'm on tonight has almiost got me "face typing") Defo worth trying one out if one comes up at the right price. It's not a "WOW" product (though I have bought mine "used" with patina) but it is one of those items you feel they got right. No flicker or hum, decent clip retention, blah blah blah .... try it  :pok:

Ninox! The light doesn't seem like a 3xAAA light. It doesn't seem big enough. I keep expecting some up coming actress to say "it's bigger on the inside" before appearing in fakes nude pics on Google  :whistle: The UI takes a little "remembering" if you don't use it regularly, but not as infuriating as the Zebraturd ones  :P Being a luddite, I'm looking for someone more educated than me to tell me if I'm right in liking the Ninox, or if I'm deluding myself. I'm counting on you for that mate ...  :pok: :P :D :D :D The Spark seemed OK, but ... just didn't flick ne "need it" switch ... or at least not yet  ;)

Olight EOS ... I need purple, not stainless. If I go down the route I'm thiking about you'll see why  ;) As for stainless, I have the Preobn Revo which as far as I can see has no equal - even in the Klarus line   :-X

I'm more drunk than I though I was :nanadance: but that's a side issue  :whistle:

I need to pick up some silicone lube to try and tweak the Quark, but am not avwerse to trying something else too. The only thing I've noticed is that a lot of the other 2xAA lights seem very uninspuiring ... there doesnt seem to be much in that arena thats getting me giddy  :-\

The turbo setting is impressive, but so is the heat! The 300 lumens and below are very cool running.I really like that it ran at 132 lumens for 9hours and 22 minutes at 92F. Never tried the light for running, I use a XM-L modded Nitecore D10 with eneloop, in a NiteCore headband. Have not found anything as comfortable,waterproof or easily adjustable yet. As with everything it is subjective . And my runs are only about 50 minutes long now due to time and gravity :)

At least I know it's not just me.  :tu:

I figure I will mainly use it's constant on feature from twisting the tail cap. I wanted it as a simple light anyways. Plus I can beat it up and not really care about it. I bought it to use when I wan't to give my Zebralight a break for a few days.

I should admit here that, while I don't often acknowledge it, a 2xAAA mini-maglite LED lives it's life in my organiser that goes pretty much everywhere with me. 

My first ever big name torch was also a 2xAAA mini-maglite, just not an LED one.  This would have been 15 or so years ago, still have it, still works, just not very pretty any more. ;)

Tabasco, did you make that Kydex sheath for your Spirt, or purchase it somewhere?  It looks like an excellent, low-profile setup!

Post by: Tabasco on February 01, 2014, 02:11:25 AM
NutSAK, good to see you around!

I really like the sheath, it is designed to fit super snug and comfortable to wear for extended periods. During this last freeze I stayed awake for 31 hours straight to prepare and protect crops. I finished the work, threw a tarp on the shop sofa and slept for about 9 hours with the Spirit and sheath on. Never gave it a thought. :D

The sheath was custom made by Deric Desmond. He has made several neck sheaths for me, as well.

My trinity of lights for the last little while has bee these three;

Trustfire Z2 being used as a head torch.  The head band is home grown, but does an excellent job of keeping things in place.

(http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/gareth_SAKs/Torches/IMG_0967_zps63273c6e.jpg)

ThruNite TN12.  Small enough that it sits comfortably in the side pocket of my work trousers, it's a very compact way of getting a lot of light in a room.  Just yesterday I needed to kill all the lights in a (windowless) room to work on the suspended ceiling.  Not a problem though, just put this on high, stood it on it's tail and the room was more than bright enough to work in. 8)

(http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/gareth_SAKs/Torches/IMG_0964_zps9fd90d84.jpg)

Last, but by no means least, is my Eagletac D25A clicky with neutral emitter.  This is the light that has pretty much gone everywhere with me for the last 12 months.  Lives on my house keys most of the time, only being removed to be put in the pocket of my work trousers for 8 hours a day.  Compact, lovely colour beam, bright (or not), clicky, 1xAA...the list goes on as to why I love this light. :dd:

A Streamlight Stylus Pro , an ARCP-AAA ( in a slot in my notebook ) , and a Surefire E1B Backup ( with a Z68 tailcap , so it will tailstand ) .

The EDC bag has a Maglite AA, LED . , My outside jacket pocket has a McGizmo McLux III PD clipped to it .

I've always missed the tail-stand feature lacking in "tactical" lights with momentary, forward-click switches.  However, I prefer a UI with a momentary feature.  I added a turbo flat tailcap to my 4Sevens Quark AA last week, and now it is the best of both worlds.  I should have done this upgrade long ago--it hasn't left my pocket since.

It looks a little odd, since the tailcap is wider than the head, but it functions beautifully:

Sure am. I still don't like not having a super high output, but I can live without it for now. I guess i'm spoiled from having a Zebralight. I'm thinking I will just switch between the two, but i'm putting the Microstream through its paces right now.

Hi,

I bought two Spotlight 'Speck' micro LED lights......... just love them, carry one everywhere I go with my Minichamp (makes the Minichamp look big!).

(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b74/milorgman/General/SpotlightSpeckwithMinichamp_zps10d86a2a.jpg) (http://s17.photobucket.com/user/milorgman/media/General/SpotlightSpeckwithMinichamp_zps10d86a2a.jpg.html)

Great little light for under $10, around 30mm long, 15 lumens, all alloy, pretty weatherproof (has 2 'O' rings) and comes with a spare set of batteries (batteries are ultra cheap on Ebay).

cheers,

-John

Seriously my Zebralight is the best flashlight purchase I have ever made. Never even had a hint of a problem with it and it looks and feels like a very well thought out quality product. Just my 2 cents.

I just got one, and I would say it's the best value in a top-quality US-made light available, with great build quality and simple, robust engineering.  Plus, the modular construction makes it easily upgradable when the time comes.  I ordered a M61N drop-in also, as I'm getting to the point where I just don't want "cool" white anymore.

I like Zebralight too...

No, it's natural HA. 

The shot was underexposed because I had the lights turned on, and the Prometheus was reflecting the overhead lights.  However, I will say that the most recent (especially the US-produced) Zebralights seem to have more of a darker-gray finish now, rather than the more "greenish" finish they used to have.

I just realized the new SC52 L2 offers Sealed and potted LED driver circuitry which is not a feature of the SC52. I want it just on the basis of that if it means what I think it does. I understand that the circuitry is sealed so if a battery leaks it will not damage the circuitry, correct? What does potted pertain to?
Title: Re: What light did you carry today?
Post by: NutSAK on May 05, 2014, 08:41:17 PM
Potted electronics are much more liquid and shock resistant than unpotted circuitry.  They are basically encapsulated in epoxy.

It still would be an issue if a battery leaked, as the chemicals would contact the underside of the driver board where the (+) contact is.  My advice is to never leave alkaline batteries unattended inside a flashlight.

I've had bad experiences with most multi-mode lights. You have to twist quickly the right amount of times to get the proper setting and that doesn't always go so smooth. Therefore one mode is ideal for me.

I got the regular AA, but I changed a few things by upgrading a led and putting a defensive bezel on it and love it, but it's just for around the house, now I have a regular 2xAAA and think it's just so freaking cute, size wise it's good for a carry, very light weight, but brightness sucks! It's ok if totally pitch black and your eyes are set to the dark, but other then that it's worthless.
Here's a pic of the AA mag with the defensive bezel, the other one lit up is a surefire led, I would love to find one for the AAA if I end up getting one, that would look freaking cool! JR

Depending on which version of the 2xAA LED you have, and how old it is, you might well find the 2xAAA LED is actually notably brighter.  It's certainly a step up from the version I have, though I believe the 2xAA LED has been updated since I got mine.  The LED tint is also much better than on my 2xAA, much less blue, though still on the cool side of white.

Physically it still feel like an incandescent 2xAAA, light, neat and slim.  My only tiny quibble with it is that the focus isn't all that great, does a good spot all right, but the flood is still pretty tight.  Only one light mode of 84 Lumen, but I'm OK with that. :)

I've been rather busy moving house for the last while (decluttering, packing, moving, unpacking etc) and so I've been solely relying on what I've had on my keyring; my NW Thrunite Ti3.  It's been more than capable of what I've been asking of it, being bright enough to find my way around a new garden at night, look for things in the bottom of packing boxes, finding stuff under sofas, hooking up TV's etc etc. 

The only thing I'd change really is that I'm not sure I like the moonlight mode being quite so low, it has it's uses I know, but seeing where you are going isn't one of them. ;)  My taste would be for something just a little bit brighter.

I've decided to dig out a couple of less used lights from my stockpile; an older Thrunite T10 (twisty not clicky switch) and the even older Jetbeam Jet-1 Pro V3.0.  The Pro V3.0 is a top notch light that just oozes quality and, with it's programmable levels, can be pretty much any kind of light you want it to be. 8)

Pelican 1920. Lovely little 2xAAA - that I found out about on this site of course. :-) Having a low mode is really a great feature, especially since, with a pen light, I feel like you're more likely to be up close to whatever you're looking at. Much cheaper (in price) than a Preon but still feels very solid and tough. Maybe a bit too thick and heavy, but rides nicely in the jeans pocket. The only thing I would change is to start in low mode instead of high.

Christmas Ltd Ed Ti

The first time you did this to me  :twak: I got the old style twistie T10 and T20, and both came with a free Ti. I must admit I was very happy with them too. Very good value. The T20 now lives in the glovebox of the car, the T10 stays clipped to my black pioneer and Style PS as a fixed "trio", and the Ti gets occasional carry with a celidor SAK and red Dime.

This time they have tail clickies, pocket clips and the lantern attachments ... I had to go for it :-[

Gareth, I think you would appreciate the electro-mechanical properties of the piston drive D10. Easily upgraded and not picky about battery chemistry. So many of these came from NiteCore with horrible QC and/or adjustments that there are leagues of folks who can't stand them. I have fixed several of these lights that had the simplest of flaws, such as led driver not seated and tightened completely, etc. But I don't blame buyers for not wanting to reassemble and tune a brand new light. :(   The principle of operation for these lights is very sound and extremely reliable when properly executed, too bad NiteCore was not overly concerned with consistant QC and assembly.
I'm saving to have a stainless steel replacement body machined for this D10.

The first time you did this to me  :twak: I got the old style twistie T10 and T20, and both came with a free Ti. I must admit I was very happy with them too. Very good value. The T20 now lives in the glovebox of the car, the T10 stays clipped to my black pioneer and Style PS as a fixed "trio", and the Ti gets occasional carry with a celidor SAK and red Dime.

This time they have tail clickies, pocket clips and the lantern attachments ... I had to go for it :-[

They're here ...

Carried the usual Quark AA Tactical at work today, but switched to the new T10 tonight

For good reason. Zebralights rock! Its funny how unless you are very familiar with good lights no one really knows about the brand. I have never met a single person in my day to day life that knows the brand.

I've never met another person who knows the brand either. I didnt expect to like this light this much. Just wanted to try it out and see how it worked. It has really proven to me to be a very good light.    :)

I've been carrying a fenix e12 for the past few weeks. Im starting to appreciate the minor length difference from the e11. I hardly notice it's in my front pocket.

Just received a "singfire" aaa light in the mail. Might give that a whirl this weekend. So far, I like the way it looks, but will have to see about how it feels to carry and use it. It's a lot smaller than I'm use to. And it's very polished, might be difficult to operate and hold. We'll find out.

Thing is that the new T10 is similar enough to my much loved Eagletac D25A Clicky that I cannot justify it to myself. :shrug:

I love that light.  I am searching for a backup, but you know how these things go.  When one comes available for a decent price, I won't have the cash to snag it.  When I have money, they either aren't available anywhere or the only one is like $70 or something ridiculous like that.  There is one in a Skeletool combo pack on Ebay right now for $79.54.  If it were $50 I would grab it but I can't do that much.

 :cheers: I understand that too. It's part of the reason I like the Sunwayman V10R so much - on/off and a twiddly widget dimmer switch  :D Generally speaking a simple on/off does the trick, but when I need a softer light, it's there at the fingertips without having to go "hunting" :)

I tend to carry my Thrunite T10 mostly.  I got the Neutral to try out a tint I had never used and while I like it fine for certain situations I got the CW for everything else.  My Tis sees a lot of pocket time as a simple light but I've had issues with it not wanting to work.  A quick tap and on she comes but it it annoying.  I got the MiniMag 2AAA incan for a buck so it's been fun playing with it.  I dig the color and it makes a great low light light especially with it's warm light.   

Oddly enough I'm finding I am chasing lumens since owning the T10's, they seem good but I'd like brighter  8)

I always knew you were a man of good taste. :D  My SA2 was my "go to" work light for a long time as well.  Sad that the iTP Eluma series of lights never got moved over to the Olight line, they were excellent lights IMO.

I'm liking it a lot.  If I was still working as a maintenance guy then it wouldn't be enough, but for the little day-to-day things like searching for stuff behind the TV/under the sofa/at the back of the cupboard/keyholes at night etc. then it's great.

If I had a tiny complaint then it would be that once or twice I've found it turned on in my pocket.  No biggie though.

Why don't you tell us something about your lights.

Sure.

The McGizmo is made by Don McLeish in Hawaii. Don has been making LED lights for over 20 years and has gotten pretty good at balancing optimal output and runtime. It is a full titanium CR123/16340 light with a Nichia 219V (NVSL 119 H1 - 1.3mm x 1.3mm die with max drive of 1500mA). It has a 3 stage driver low = 7 lumen, medium - 28 lumen, high - 125 lumen. The term "mule" means it has no reflector, which seems sill because the McGizmo Haiku reflector is regarded as the best on the market. I prefer the mule style because it has no hotspot, this light emits just a solid wall of 94 CRI light at 4600K. As expected, it is regulated, has an AR sapphire lens, and takes any and all battery chemistries.

The second light is an all titanium Muyshondt Aeon Mark II (MkII) made by Enrique Muyshondt in Texas. The Aoen is a very small light, only 55mm long. This particular version is kind of rare, not completely sure how many he made, but there aren't many Ti versions out there. The Ti version has a 3 stage progressive twisty - twist on for low, twist more for medium, twist a little more for high… I prefer this type of mode switching over the usual twist on, twist off, twist back on… It has an AR sapphire lens, light orange peel parabolic reflector (which gives it impressive throw), 93 CRI Nichia 219 LED that tops out at 120 lumen, gold plated circuit contacts, and runs on a CR2 battery.

You can pick up a McGizmo from Don's sub on CPF, and unfortunately, the Ti Aeon has been discontinued.

I'm familiar with Don McLeish. I became a member of Candlepowerforums in 2004.I didn't stick around long and pursued other hobbies.When I returned in 2014 it wouldn't accept my old user name,so I re-registered.

Those are some interesting lights and congrats.I certainly couldn't help but notice there was no reflector on the Mule.I imagine that the Mule must emit light in a 160 to 180 degree radius.

I understand that Anti-reflective coatings allow more light to be projected from the emitter since it prevents reflection from inside the lens.I'm also familiar with the sapphire lens since my Rolex Submariner uses a sapphire crystal.

Although interesting and they certainly illustrate the capabilities of flashlight technology,I'm afraid they're a little beyond my desire at the moment.I'm still stuck in the Surefire time warp.LOL   Although that may change in the future.

Thanks again.

Yes, the Mule has about a 160° radius, the LED is set back in the head about 1/4" so it is not a full 180°. You are correct about the AR sapphires, if a light does not have anti-reflective coating on the inside you can lose some brightness as some of the light will be reflected back into the head. The loss in negligible, but with high CRI LEDs the output is only around 120 lumen so every bit counts.

I got into custom lights because I enjoyed the academics and craftsmanship behind them.

If the McGizmo is something you are interested in, there is a guy in Mobile, Alabama named Gene Malkoff who makes an aluminum version of the Haiku. The Malkoff Devices MDC uses most of same parts as Don's lights, but since the body is aluminum, it only cost $99. Like Don, Gene is very selective in the LEDs he uses and each light accurately represents the advertised specs.

Today was a McGizmo Haiku kinda day.

(http://i.imgur.com/14mCCE6.png)

This is the classic McGizmo, with the Haiku reflector head. This light has a handpicked XP-G2 emitter with great CRI for an XP-G2 and tops out at about 225 lumen. Don's reflector is what really makes this light a gem. It is the perfect balance of throw and flood, and the transition from the hotspot to the flood is seamless. There are absolutely no rings or artifacts, making this light perfect for up close work, as well as shooting across and open field. As with all of Don's lights the LED uses power conservatively and efficiently, giving you seemingly unending run times and excellent heat distribution.

The work area is completely lit by awful fluorescent lighting.  I used these (some, ceiling-bounced), instead.  I think fluorescent lighting is the most depressing, ugliest lighting ever invented, and I try to avoid using it, whenever possible lol.

I love the XTAR chargers that I have (2-VP2; 2 VC4, and 2 VC2 Plus), for different reasons.  They have different feature sets/strengths, which are very handy.

I tend to go with Panasonic-based batteries (sometimes, protected; sometimes not, depending on which light I'm running).

XTAR actually have a sale through the 24th of this month, on many of their chargers, and they include free shipping (to the lower 48, I think) - 25% off!

They also sell a 2600 mAh 18650 protected battery for 7 bucks (I think it's a Sanyo core, but it's reputable, and have received good reviews), which works well in many of my lights - and since they're just five minutes away from me, it's extremely convenient. 
http://xtardirect.com/collections/batteries/products/18650-2600mah-icr18650-26f-battery-protected

For high-drain lights, I go with higher amperage (usually high drain) batteries. I've been buying LG 3200 mAh protected batteries, through Mountain Electronics, which work great (and Mountain Electronics are a dependable battery seller):

[/quote]

The price is unbelievably low, on both models.  Why not get both?  You can't go wrong.  If the cost is an issue, then I'd probably recommend the VC4, so you end up with four charging banks.  They work very similarly, but the metering looks different.  If you have to go with just one, and can live with only having two banks of charging, at a time, then it's hard to beat the VC2 Plus.  I was considering picking up another VC2 Plus and another VC4, but went with another pair of VC2 Plus chargers.  I went ahead and bought them on-line, then just will-called them, a few minutes later.  I noticed, when I made the purchase, there was a $5.00 shipping charge (as there always used to be, previously), but that would be refunded, for a will-call purchase.  Still, they're both excellent chargers.  The VC2 Plus is tiny; so if you're going to be traveling, it would be more compact/easier to carry one in your bag.

Just remember - you need to feed enough juice into these (through the USB connection - they come with the USB cable; but you need to provide the USB power), to get the full charging power out of these chargers.  If you're considering just using your laptop (for instance) to run these chargers - I wouldn't recommend it.  It won't provide enough amperage, and your batteries will take forever to charge.

I'm using an Anker 40-watt 5-port USB charger, which will run a maximum of 2.1 amps per port (8 Amps max -all ports, combined), and it works really well with these chargers.

Perfect, thanks!

So for someone just getting started with 16340s for my Sunwayman 11R, Eneloops for around the house and 18650 for the light I intend to buy. VC 4 or VC 2 plus?

The price is unbelievably low, on both models.  Why not get both?  You can't go wrong.  If the cost is an issue, then I'd probably recommend the VC4, so you end up with four charging banks.  They work very similarly, but the metering looks different.  If you have to go with just one, and can live with only having two banks of charging, at a time, then it's hard to beat the VC2 Plus.  I was considering picking up another VC2 Plus and another VC4, but went with another pair of VC2 Plus chargers.  I went ahead and bought them on-line, then just will-called them, a few minutes later.  I noticed, when I made the purchase, there was a $5.00 shipping charge (as there always used to be, previously), but that would be refunded, for a will-call purchase.  Still, they're both excellent chargers.  The VC2 Plus is tiny; so if you're going to be traveling, it would be more compact/easier to carry one in your bag.

Just remember - you need to feed enough juice into these (through the USB connection - they come with the USB cable; but you need to provide the USB power), to get the full charging power out of these chargers.  If you're considering just using your laptop (for instance) to run these chargers - I wouldn't recommend it.  It won't provide enough amperage, and your batteries will take forever to charge.

I'm using an Anker 40-watt 5-port USB charger, which will run a maximum of 2.1 amps per port (8 Amps max -all ports, combined), and it works really well with these chargers. I use two ports of that for my external lithium ion batteries (also Anker products). You can travel with this, and use just one hub, rather than five separate chargers.  You just need to provide the right USB cable to charge your device (phone, tablet, or other compatible device).

Thanks for the great info man. Went with the VC 2 for the countdown timer and more portable size. I had intended to use one of the many phone usb to wall outlet  things I have around the house but will look into the linked hub.

If the McGizmo is something you are interested in, there is a guy in Mobile, Alabama named Gene Malkoff who makes an aluminum version of the Haiku. The Malkoff Devices MDC uses most of same parts as Don's lights, but since the body is aluminum, it only cost $99. Like Don, Gene is very selective in the LEDs he uses and each light accurately represents the advertised specs.

I decided to look at the Malkoffs and eventually purchased a Malkoff MDC.Here it is along side of another AA powered light a Surefire E2L AA Outdoorsman.

Thanks for your advice.

Been playing with a new Surefire Titan model here lately instead of my usual Peak Eiger. For a quick and handy combo, a Minichamp clipped to a single AAA light is nice to have along. And you need to be sure your alox is color coordinated with the light. Wouldn't want to commit a fashion faux pas. :)

Oh it is a winner.

It is in the running as the best EDC light I own. Hard to grasp how small it really is until you see it in person. I just drop it in my front pocket and it disappears.

500 lumens from something so small is crazy. Not sure how they did it but it has a beautiful very large hotspot with just a little spill. Throws great.

Magnet in the tail is very strong and handy.

All of this is good but I saved the best for last. The UI is almost perfect for me. Turbo and moonlight can be directly accessed from off with easy to remember double click or click and hold. It has memory so you can have it set on one of the middle modes and be able to go to that with a regular click.

Here is a picture for size reference and I just noticed the kneeling matches my Alox almost perfectly.

You were carrying 10 lights! :o  Any particular need?  Or was is just because you can? :D

It's a little bit of both, actually.  I like having multiple tint options at my disposal, whenever possible.  I prefer having at least one cool, one neutral, and warm light, readily available.  I tend to use neutral emitters, the most of all, and I find that the Nichia 219B triple in the Solarforce L2P, and the neutral emitters in the Zebralights are the most heavily used lights, among the bunch, in most instances.

When I can only carry one light, on person (at work, for instance.  In instances like that, the others are in my pack, which I have within arm's reach), it's always the Zebralight SC600w Mk III.  It's extremely flexible, with a wide range of outputs, a super intuitive user interface, and fantastic thermal regulation.

I wish all lights were thermally regulated like this, rather than having fixed timed step-downs output.

About the only thing I miss, while using that, is having the momentary feature (no forward clicky tail switch).  Aside from that.  it's a perfect EDC light, most of the time - easily pocket-carried. The neutral tint on that light is superb.

A dedicated headlamp can be extremely handy, albeit not heavily used.  It's like having a spare tire for your vehicle.  You never known when you'll need it, until you need it.  Sometimes, it's invaluable, being able to have both of your hands free, while doing work.

I tend to favor 18650-based lights (even for EDC), because of the higher output performance, and the much longer run times (on the lower outputs).  This kind of flexibility is very important to me, and the added weight of carry feels like a small price to pay, for this flexibility.

Thrunite make a very nice light.

T10 (original twisty) -14500 - cool white
T20 (2014 Edition - 16340 - warm white
T10 (2014 edition )- 14500 - warm white
TN30 - 18650 - cool white
Catapult V3 - 18650 - cool white

I used to EDC the two T10s, alongside a Solarforce L2P with a Sportac Triple Nichia 219B 2-mode - in the same Olight holster (cool holster).  My EDC lights have changed radically, since then.

Remember it? I owned two, one was the green one, with a mod job by Milkyspit from CPF. Compared to the crap-ass 5mm LEDs that were common then, it really *was* impressive at the time.

Even better, they made a 2xCR123A version, the TM-301X-3 (http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/nuwai_tm301x3.htm), that was easily twice as bright as the QIII. Two modes, too. A real hot rod in it's day.

I threw them all out a few months ago while doing some weeding in my inventory. Unlike knives or multitools, old LED lights don't age well.  :-\

Anyone remember the Nuwai Quantum III?  No?  It was a big hit over ten years ago. With super numbers like a output of a massive 75 Lumen! (lets say half that and be kind) Runtime of nearly 3 hours! (more like 1) Super compact! (it's not really).  Still, while I kindly mock I'm rather attached to mine as it was one of my first attempts to get away from the clutches of Maglite. ;)

Read the 2004 review: http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/nuwai_q-3.htm

Remember it? I owned two, one was the green one, with a mod job by Milkyspit from CPF. Compared to the crap-ass 5mm LEDs that were common then, it really *was* impressive at the time.

Even better, they made a 2xCR123A version, the TM-301X-3 (http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/nuwai_tm301x3.htm), that was easily twice as bright as the QIII. Two modes, too. A real hot rod in it's day.

I threw them all out a few months ago while doing some weeding in my inventory. Unlike knives or multitools, old LED lights don't age well.  :-\

I just found my old Q-III as well (hence the post) and rather than throwing it in the bin, I threw a 16340 in it and put it in my coat pocket.  I can't be sure, but I rather suspect 16340 cells hadn't been invented the last time I carried the Q-III. :D

Seems to get warm quite fast, but no obvious ill effects.

So that thing is about as bright as my AAA modded Lumintop Tool at 800 or so lumens otf I guess?

Crazy how far lights have come in such a short time.

I'm still carrying my little Nuwai Q-III and a Fenix E05 (old version).  The Q-III is a long way from a modern torch, but I do like it's compact form.

Led Lenser F1R.
Its pretty much the only light I carry with me.
Its not perfect, but REALLY good. A bit on a heavy in its weight. Also no focus at all.
Good conversation piece, as people are always amazed by its brightness. I'm not much of a flashlight guy so I don't see myself changing in a long time. My 3rd Led Lenser this one and like it a lot.

I was like you until recently I got a very good flashlight on an impulse buy.

Now I can't see myself compromising when it comes to my light again. To easy to get something good for not a whole lot of money.

Not saying your Lenser is bad as I have never had one.

You're right, it'll take both 16340 and 18350.  I just have a couple of 16340 kicking around so I wasn't going to bother shelling out for some more cells when I've got some that work.  You'll be getting better run times though. :)

I didn't know that.

Could be handy since I have some 16340s for my Sunwayman V11R around here.

Well I'm not a light nut so I can't be too technical but I do like it very much.  I find the mode spacing to very useful.  High is very bright and the lowest is quite dim (good thing).   The UI makes sense and works well for me.  I love the fact that it has a battery level indicator.  It runs off of a AA. I've always been partial to AA and AAA lights. It's relatively easy on the pocket.  It will tail stand.  And it looks pretty cool too  :D. It's a winner in my book.

Sure thing.  It's worth mentioning there is no mode memory on this light.  I usually like it but you can turn the light in either high or low without having to cycle through so thats good enough for me.  Also I use Eneloops in mine.

I tried to test my cheap underwater light for some light scuba diving...

It had managed fine for snorkeling before

Snorkeling, no problem..

Scuba, fail.... 

The batteries got totally destroyed, after less than an hour in the sea (5 to 10m depth, so nothing extreme)

You can also understand why I suggest and use only regular batteries and no LiIons in the sea.
You do not want a light exploding on your head or in your hand

It might be hard to believe, given how much you carry yours, but I think yours is in better looking condition than mine.  I normally carry my AAA lights on my keys so unless the anodising is pretty tough they look like hell quite quickly.

I always carry a Streamlite Stylous Pro, which I used tonight, trying to find the light switches in my hotel room. I couldn't find any other than the bathroom's. Finally the light cone revealed a Remote Light Control. It was a win for Steamlite.

Yea mine rides clipped to my pocket, so it fares pretty well.  It has YEARS on it though.  I'm starting to get curious as to how long it will last.  I've grown quite attached to it and I cannot find any to back it up with.   I keep looking, but none ever shows up on ebay. 

As far as keys go, they are the most destructive EDC item I think.  They destroy things quickly.  I don't really make a habit of putting much on my keyring anymore.

This. I pretty much always carry my keys in another pocket by themselves. They just tore up too many SAK scales. I imagine they could do the same to a flashlight lens, if given a chance.

As far as keys go, they are the most destructive EDC item I think.  They destroy things quickly.  I don't really make a habit of putting much on my keyring anymore.

This. I pretty much always carry my keys in another pocket by themselves. They just tore up too many SAK scales. I imagine they could do the same to a flashlight lens, if given a chance.

Yep.

I hang my keys from a pocket clip.

It's a little to big for EDC and set up as a dedicated light to use with a pistol for home defense.

But it has the best tint of any light I have ever owned and the "bulletproofness" of Malkoff/Surefire is very reassuring.

My work keys have always ridden on a belt clip at 3 o'clock, for the last ten years or so.  My home/car keys are on a Metolious carabiner that gets either clipped to my front belt loop temporarily, clipped to my EDC bag while at work, or hung on a hook while I'm home.  I don't ever put them in my pockets.

I'm a Malkoff fan.

Which drop-in are you using?  My favorite lights for handgun use are Malkoff MD2 with M61N and M61NL with the high/low switch.  The M61NL is my bedside table light, set to low to help preserve night vision.  Both have excellent tint.  I also have a neutral Hound Dog that I love for checking the property and walking the dogs.

Emergency cash.  I have to use the pliers on the CT34 to get it out of there, so it's pretty secure.

Love to see a brother willing to go hard into the paint. Strong carry there.

Thank you for your kind replies.  I like AA and AAA lights simply for the ease of finding new batteries if need be. 

I have 2 SwissChamps.  This one is an older version.  I only recently really began giving it some pocket time.  To my surprise it's really not too bad in the pocket.  And with so many tools it's really growing on me.

The Bark River is a Pro Scalpel II.  It came with a nice leather belt sheath that is slim enough to slip into a pocket or sometimes I will carry it in my KSF Adirondack pocket sheath.

I have  several Bark Rivers and have owned many others over the years.  Maybe a half dozen or so have been smallish blades.  I've used the Adirondack with several knives including the PS II, Lil TUSK,  Micro Canadian, Mini Canadian, Little Creek and an ESEE Izula.   All work well.  Some are tighter than others but all have been secure enough while in my pocket.  I'll try to get you a picture of the PS II in the sheath this evening.

A Sunwayman V11R.

Still such a great little light.

In my pocket today is an 11 year old Nuwai Q3 with a custom AA battery extension/coupler tube, so I can use a single AA instead of a primary CR123 lithium battery. The paracord fingerloop is tied with a double fisherman's bend, attached to a split ring on the flashlight pocket clip for retention.

The Spyderco Delica paracord fob has a pair of wall knots tied on either side of a two-strand stopper knot.

I have many, many "miles" on this little guy.  Very few lights in my (rather large) collection can come close to the use and abuse this one has taken.  I always run it on Li-Ion with Eneloop backups.

I do like the small twisty AA format, though the idea seems to be less popular these days.  I gave my Stainless iTP A2 (a close relative of your Q-MiNi) to my Dad years ago and still miss it a little.  I'm still enjoying my original Thurnite T10 at the moment and I've got a Jetbeam Jet-1 MK on the way.  Though I have to say I'm not sure that it looks as compact as some others.

I go back and forth between tactical clickies and twisties, depending on the situation.  But, this one is just sooo easy to clip to a pocket and forget about.  The form factor is just about as small as you can get with AA.  I've come to the point where I just won't put up with anything but neutral white tints also.  4Sevens doesn't do many with NW emitters, so I will be majorly bummed if I lose any of them.

I was pretty upset when my little Q mini AA died. Sadly 4Sevens aren't easy or cheap to get here.

The Rebar on my belt is coming along the same path.  It's been my go to tool for 3 years now.  I'm turning into my Dad!  He carries the same Juice I bought him 11 years ago, and only occasionally swaps it out for one of the other 10 tools I've gotten him since.

R.I.P. Q-MiNi.....  :(

I bragged last week about all the abuse that light has taken for years, and what happens?  The damn thing quit on me last weekend.

Now I'm a bit lost and searching for another small, AA twisty neutral-white light that runs well on Li-Ion or NiMh.

Damn Terry, that's a crying shame.  I'd have a look at the Jetbeam Jet-1 MK.  I've only had mine a couple of days but initial impressions are good.  Definitely feels well made and I like the light levels and other features.  Only thing it's lacking is a NW LED, though the colour on mine is nice and clear with no obvious blue/green/purple tints that I can see.

Thanks for the suggestions Gareth.  It's going to be difficult to find a replacement, as the operation and levels were just right for me and I'm quite spoiled by NW emitters.

The first thing I'm going to do is send my MiNi back to 4Sevens for (10 year!) warranty replacement.  I'm sure I will receive a cool white one back, but that's better than nothing at this point.

Are you sure you didn't fry it? Maybe it accidentally got turned on in your pocket or such and was in high mode for too long on a Li-ion. Not sure it the warranty would cover the use of Li-ion in the Mini. If I remember correctly they are direct driven then and pump out something like 350lm? which is way more than the factory specs.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case.  I would have felt the heat in my pocket. When I pulled the cell out after the failure it had a voltage of 4.16, which is basically maximum "resting" voltage for that cell.  That voltage would have dropped dramatically if it had been left on on "high" for any period of time.  In the 6 years I used the light, I never used it on high for more than a few seconds and it never got hot.  It has tight threads and has never once turned on by itself in my pocket, so I can't imagine how it would go from Low > Med > High in my pocket.

In my experience, if you fry an LED, there will be visual evidence such as discoloring or darkening of the die.  There is no such evidence here.  Also, there will usually be a noticeable drop in output before it completely goes, which I never experienced.  I just went to turn it on low, it flashed on and off quickly, then never worked again.  My first thought was that the protection circuit of the cell had activated, but that, obviously, was not the case.

Thanks Gareth.  It is a great light.  I love the beam, the efficiency, the brightness and the HDS-like UI, but otherwise it's kind of an in-betweener for me.  What I mean by that is; there are basically two types of light that I carry, and this one doesn't fit into either category:

1.  Tactical clicky
2.  Slim, compact (twisty) on a dangler

I carry #2 most of the time, and I want it to virtually disappear in my pocket.  #1 still must be comfortable (one reason why I carry 14500 over 16340), but must be immediately available to operate with my left hand in support of a firearm in my right.

The Zebralight head is too broad, the tail sticks up above my pocket, and it's not tactical.

Kickin' it semi-oldskool today.  This is the only remaining Cree XR-E in my collection.  It has been through hell and back.  This is the third body for the light--I've switched the guts over twice.  Nitecore used some awfully soft aluminum on these.

Different.





 :D  It just feels like a momentary switch, with a good amount of spring tension.  The spring under the contact ring in the head provides some of the tension, and some is provided by the air trapped in the body as it compresses.  There's is no "click" feedback--it's a very smooth feeling.  The orings are pretty important in this light, but I'm still using the original ones without ever experiencing intrusion of foreign matter.  I probably maintain my smurf better than the average schmoe, though.

I just realized I still have one of these like new in the original box that I put aside to sell some years ago.  I suppose I should liquidate it...

I'm liking that little Jet.  That one and the 4Sevens MA seems to be very similar, but fairly unique in the market.  I'm not a huge fan of AAA cells because it's hard to justify carrying them when you can have nearly double the energy storage in a light as small as these.

I'm genuinely impressed with it.  Once you get used to the extra size of a compact AA compared to a AAA then, like you, I see it as a no-brainer as to which one to choose.  Not that I don't carry any AAA lights any more, but they've got to bring something else to the table.  Frankly I still have to find a reason not to be carrying my Eagletac D25A Clicky all the time.

Oh, and if you are prepared to wait a couple of weeks then the Jet-1 can be had very cheaply as well from Gear Best. No connection, no kickbacks etc etc.  Just used them a couple of times without any problems.

The newer Thrunite T10 has become a firm favourite with me lately. This is a light which just seems to do what I need with no fuss. The switch has a nice positive action, and I'm unlikely to turn it on accidentally. It remembers my most used light level, and there's no ancillary modes that I don't need. The mid level is perfect for general use, and the high and low levels are also just right for me whilst getting a decent battery life. The belt clip has great retention without destroying pockets, and even if it did get lost, it's not an expensive light. It's got that Goldilocks "just right" quality.

The nights are getting longer...  It's that time of year when I spend more thought each day considering what flashlight to carry.  This is especially true when Daylight Saving Time ends in November.

How about you?  Do your flashlight habits change during the darker half of the year?

Through the lighter months, I rely on the Nitecore Tube on my keys, and the little Ti Klarus AAA on my neck lanyard. Anything else is a bonus. As the darker times approach, I start carrying a "primary" light more. When I was working, it was a Quark Tactical AA2, but at the moment a Thrunite T10 is proving to be perfectly adequate. I still have the keys and lanyard backups in case of flat battery or loss, but the Thrunite is doing most of the work.

I definitely start carrying a "coat" light as well as whatever is on my keys.  A "coat" light is something that'll fit nicely in a outside pocket, has a tail switch and not be too small to find and orientate easily.  Right now it's the Convoy mini S2 (18350/16340) filling the role, but could easily be a larger 1xAA or a compact 18650.

That's very similar to what I do.  I have a AAA or (usually) AA light in my pocket year round, but select from a wider range of them in the colder months, mostly just because I'm thinking about it more and want variety.  I also carry an 18650 light in my jacket or coat for more lumens and runtime.  My wintertime lights are typically more "tactical" in use because I tend to carry a sidearm more in the winter.

The first thing I'm going to do is send my MiNi back to 4Sevens for (10 year!) warranty replacement.  I'm sure I will receive a cool white one back, but that's better than nothing at this point.

Just as a follow up...  I received my replacement Mini MA yesterday.  It's a great light, but I don't like it as well as my old XP-G neutral.  It's cool white of course, which I will have to get used to, but should be fine as I mostly use this light indoors.  Also, the efficiency of the cool while XP-G2 is so much greater that the low level is really too bright for the what I used it for on the old light.  That's a shame, because I frequently used it to get up in the middle of the night and navigate around the house.  I might eventually swap out the emitter for something in a neutral tint and lower lux bin to compensate for these issues.

On the positive side, it seems nearly as bright on Eneloops as the old one was on Li-Ion, so I don't have to worry about overheating it.  And, of course, FourSevens deserves mad props for their service and 10-year warranty.  There are many good reasons that I carry FourSevens lights more than any other brand.

:cheers:

I'm carrying Old Reliable today:

I'm carrying the same boring ol' LM Monarch 300.  Still going strong 6 years later!

I haven't posted in this thread for over 2 years, because I've been carrying an Olight i3s almost* everyday for 3 years now.  But since I'm not alone in that (I'll have to check in again at the 6 yr mark :) ), I figured I'd pop in.  I think I'm one of the few that really likes the M-H-L twisty UI, and haven't been able to find anything I like better for everyday pocket carry.


*I say almost because I lost one in a field helping with a fireworks display this past 4th of July.  But I got on Amazon and ordered it's replacement (same i3s, same color) and it was here in 2 days.

For the last several months I have had a light on me and unless it is a pocket dump pic I always forget to get a pic of it :facepalm: I have recently acquired a Olight i3E EOS in silver and I have it on a suspension clip and carry it almost everywhere with me :cheers: I do still carry my mini Mag-light (also on a suspension clip) on occasion :tu:

I'm carrying the same boring ol' LM Monarch 300.  Still going strong 6 years later!

I haven't posted in this thread for over 2 years, because I've been carrying an Olight i3s almost* everyday for 3 years now.  But since I'm not alone in that (I'll have to check in again at the 6 yr mark :) ), I figured I'd pop in.  I think I'm one of the few that really likes the M-H-L twisty UI, and haven't been able to find anything I like better for everyday pocket carry.


*I say almost because I lost one in a field helping with a fireworks display this past 4th of July.  But I got on Amazon and ordered it's replacement (same i3s, same color) and it was here in 2 days.

I'm scared to death that I'm going to lose the one I have, because it's long out of production.  I search the internet all the time for a back up to buy but I can't find one!  Maybe one day I'll find something that fits the criteria the Monarch 300 does. 

I'm not able to show anything like the loyalty you two are.  I've got my new Thrunite T10 NW in my pocket and have done so for a whole 4 DAYS!

I have other lights, but nothing does it like the Monarch!  I just need a spare!  The T10 is on my radar, but I'm afraid it would just ride in my bag like my Microstream does.

I just bought 3 new lights is what currently stopping me.  Oh and I just dropped $150 on some new work boots too  :salute:. 

I was looking at the Tiara Pro A1 v2 XP-L ( white ) Gold and Silver.  I cannot for some reason determine whats the difference between the two  :think:. 

The XML2 emitter Tiara's are a bit cheaper and brighter on high but the run time on high is nearly 1/2 and they have a few less modes.

Post by: jaya_man on February 09, 2017, 07:21:54 PM
It's the bezel color option surrounding the lens... From what I gather the XP-L is based on the older XM-L2. Just brighter.

HAHA.. Well I am phasing out lights I bought to try.  I am smitten with my Olight S1R so far.  I have a stock pile of CR123 batteries plus I'll be ordering Olight RCR123 for back up.

After owning a few $20-$40 lights stepping up to the $60-$75 range I can see a difference.  There is still a lot of value in the lower cost lights for sure but just few more dollars and the next level is pretty darn nice IMO.

Agreed! I always carry a AAA light on my keychain (Fenix EO5) as well as a AAA light in my left pocket. I also normally carry a AA light with me as well. I like having a backup AAA battery and/or light. The Worm comes with a battery installed, but has a little sticker on the negative side to keep it from contacting and discharging. I decided to just leave the sticker on and will use it as a backup battery in my EO5. I wish I had a bunch of those little stickers to use.  :think:

I've been rocking the Nitecore SRT 5 lately.  I love the twisty dial selector, which is easy to find and is intuitive (unlike a second button IMO).  The SRT 5 is thin and makes a ton of light.

I am still really excited about my Zebralight so it gets carried often but it got me thinking  :think:

I wonder if Zebra fans would like a AAA version?  I think it would be neat to see one.

If my zlight isn't in my pocket then it's in my bag or the truck. A smaller zlight would be cool but then so would a larger 2 x AA.   :dd:

I'd definitely like to see what they could do with a AAA. :tu:

That LD20 is a big step up from the E01 mate.  Any particular reason?

After carrying the T10 for a while (excellent, excellent light)

(https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=71074.0;attach=310825)

I've decided to go lightweight and have stuck a Tube on my keys instead.

Well, whatever the reason, it got me thinking that I've not carried a 2xAA light in a long time.  So I dug out my old iTP SA2 Eluma and stuck that in my jacket pocket.  I'd forgotten how good a light it really is.

The light is good but I'm not down with the uncomfortable holder part.

When the elastic wears out (which won't take long) I will be changing how the replacement attaches to the holder.

Despite its size, the MH27 UV won its place in the EDC. It is the Swisschamp of lights, sort off.
I endowed it with a cone diffuser for the car, a red filter for stargazing nights and a stay on flat diffuser for everyday (because it is a narrow spotter).
Now the Stylous Pro is redundant, so I might keep it in my office for pupil reflex examination. The NH01 stays at my bedside.

Yeah, I want a nw d25a and have a nw zebralight but find spotting trout in small streams at night easier with the t10.

I carried a 2017 Inova X1 1AA flashlight today.  I used it in a hotel room and to inspect basement wiring during a recent vacation trip and it performed well.

Today, I EDC'd this baker's dozen (The Zebralight SC600w Mk III, in my pocket, and the rest in my pack). They're spread out here, on a counter top.

(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj571/david57strat/Flashlights/IMG_0447a%20-%20front%20view%20EDC%20Lights%20-%2005-27-17%20cropped.jpg)[​IMG]

Here is a view of the lights, as they're packed in a side pocket of my pack, for travel (to work, or wherever).

I tend to really like those Olight cases for my EDC lights (for the most part). Got my first one, when I purchased an M20-X, years ago, and have been buying them ever since lol.

I also had a Pelican 1010 case, with 5 backup 18650 and 2 backup 26650 batteries. The Fenix PD40 is only one in the bunch that uses these.

I know...I'm fanatical.

I can put in the details of each light, if anyone's interested.

Sorry for the delay, but I didn't see you post.
It is the newer LED version. I have it in AA and AAA. The AA is the Pro version. They both work well. The AA is brighter and has a wider focus range.

Good stuff mate.  I've got one of the newer AAA as well and I really should use it more as it's a good little light.  I noticed that the focal range does seem a bit limited though.

LED Lenser M17R today.  I'm going into my old closed mill with my bosses boss soon to assess its condition so wanted something rather bright. Seeing as work bought it for me it may as well get used at least once at work.

Fenix LD01 SS has been a trusty companion in my pocket for some time now.
In my backpack there is always a Petzl e+Lite, together with a Fenix e05 (2014 edition) in Letherman Wave pouch (with Wave, of course and a Topeak mini ratchet with some bits).
And a cheap mini light on my car keys. And one in Altoids tin survival kit.
And one headlight in glove compartment of my car.
And... well, you get the idea  ;)

I love it, I didn’t think it would be so bright, yet I contacted them saying about making a clip to also put it on your hat, and yet they came out with two others, one which is a little larger and brighter, and one that’s even brighter and even has a clip :think: hmm, but this little guy has come in handy a few times and weighs absolutely nothing and good on the keys!

Ha! Great user name!! May I call you " Harry " ?   :D
And I love the light! I acquired one in 2016 and have not looked at any other pocket lights. I've owned Arc, Hds, Ra, McGizmo, Tain, Nitecore, Fenix, Muyshondt to name a few. The sheer simplicity of the control ring/ dimmer knob can't be beat in my book. The TC-R1 was a grail light for me. It's made of a strong titanium with no surface coating to chip off, and all of the electrical parts are non-moving. There is no clicky-switch to wear out, the threads are not used as part of the twisty-switch mechanism, and the brightness control operates by way of a contactless magnetic sensor. This light could very well last for decades of daily use. Lowest low of ANY light I've owned too. I have recently switched to the new Aspire 1100 mah 18350 for substantially increased rechargeable run-time. Is yours a smooth or orange peel reflector?

I have 2 Tubes and 1 Tip, and I would probably end up buying Nitecore Tini...I just love those handy little lights from Nitecore.
I'm looking to find new version of Nitecore Tube, one's in solid colors, orange is my favorite.

as long as it works

For the last almost 4 years it works flawlessly! I just ordered new set of Ni-Mh and I hope that it will last forever! Or at least till I get Skilhunt H03  :whistle:

the DIY hanger was made of that color deliberately or you wanted it to match the light?  :think:

Surefire EB1 here

Love the simpleness of this light. I've never had a need for 15 different brightness levels and blinky modes. Just need a simple light that turns on when I click the button, and the EB1 sure does that well!

Didn't notice that the clip was made like that until you commented on it :o It looks more versatile now :cheers: So I take it that it clips both ways?  Is it easier to pocket clip and clip on your hat with that new clip :think: :tu:

I like it... though the magnet on the tailcap isn’t a very strong one... but this is probably because of the narrow base and long body...

The E03H has all the functions the E02 has but powered by AA batteries... so should be more powerful I guess...

They are Factory on the model of 0350BRN & 0350GRN and were available for a short run from what I gather.

I saw one for the first time online and knew right away that I had to have one and of course ended up with 1 of each somehow?
Go Figure? :gimme:

So the one pictured is the unused Green one and my EDC is the Brown one!

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180306/90b977d8e4552c5b2092f3bc924cdc23.jpg)

Of course I also rotate in the original Black G10 that got me hooked on the 0350 in the first place and I would love to get one with a natural non coated blade too but have somehow held off on that one?
So Far! :whistle:

Too busy finding cheap HDS I guess! :mail:

Yeah I like the scales for sure would look good on my 0350 tiger stripe but the liner lock isnt up to par anymore on it constantly fiddling with it, flicking it open has made the lock up unreliable. But it sure does look good though

Thats Great!
I usually have to buy a replacement light before the lost one reappears?

Found my Eagletac D25A Clicky! :woohoo:  As I suspected it was hiding in a watch pocket on a pair of trousers I'd not worn in a while.

This really is a neat little light!
I use it in my tiny RV mostly but Yesterday I was working inside a tight rack space and new a general area light would be handy and the HiCri emitter really does make wire colors easily identified more than angry blue ones!

Cool little light!... Like the ChapStick function :tu:

Tomorrow will mark 14 days since it was shipped. The estimated delivery time for Hong Kong airmail was 7-14 days.
If it doesn’t arrive tomorrow I’m going to start asking questions to customer service.... ::)

I wouldn’t go as far as that, yet. It wouldn’t be fair.
I got FREE Hong Kong airmail.
The shipping time was estimated as between 7 to 14 days.
I could have gotten a tracking number for $2.
The 14 days aren’t up yet.

In essence, chalk it down to me being a whiny impatient boy.  ::)

D25A vs Thrunite T10? Can you comment on which you prefer?

D25A vs Thrunite T10? Can you comment on which you prefer?
Funny you should ask this
I am not sure I have a clear preference which is why I carry both but if pushed into a corner to decide I would say.......ZL SC52w
Both the T10 and D25 are backup to the ZL for me so this is where I stand pretty much.

I guess though if the T10 is 1/2 the price of the D25 Clicky which I think it commonly is there is a clear nod to the T10 there as it is really a great light regardless of price but the much lower price only helps in a shootout too!
The D25 is slightly smaller both in length and diameter but also has sharp edges where the T10 is smooth on the edge.
Both of mine are NW tint and they are different too but this is more preference for sure and if you only have one on front of you you would never know the difference.
Also I trust no clip on Clip EVER! So that one goes to the D25 unless your T10 is a Ti which for some great reason has a screw on clip too?

You really can not make a mistake either way.

The letter postman came by, no light. Again. :ahhh
Though the post van still has to come around.
I’m wondering if it’s in a padded envelope or parcel, and if it is a padded envelope, is it small enough for the letter postman to bring?  :think:

If my E03 is any indication, it’s a nice edc light.  :salute:
The adjustable moonlight and its design from a thermal point of view is good.  :tu:

I  going to carry the E02 again today,  had the E21 yesterday but I think I prefer the compact size and soft button as opposed to the clicky trail cap. The E21 is cool though because it's able to convert from a pen light to a small 1AAA cell light. I like memory on the E02, the magnetic tail and the clip better. It's not perfect for a cheap light but it's growing on me.

Yup, physical and electronic lockout, has the E02.
But Capt probably knows that, and it’s an extra annoying step to tighten and loosen the tail cap everytime you use it if it’s not a twisty light, hence why I don’t use it.  :think:

Been carrying my E03 in my pocket these last few weeks. :dd:
Found out that on one of my trousers, the watch pocket is just the right size for it.

So I’ve been carrying it upside down, no accidental activations yet.
Still keep a spare battery in my sheath though, just in case.  :D
(No clip, and I keep it attached to a string with a keychain clip on my trousers just in case... )

The second E03H showed up today... will probably have to sell it on.  :think:
I ordered it when I thought that the first one was lost in the post, so that’s how I ended up with two.
In other more interesting news, it turns out that the magnet in this new one was installed the other way around, relative to the magnet in the first one. (They probably put the magnet in both ways at the factory)
Sooo..... have a pic of a double ended flashlight.  :facepalm: :rofl: :rofl:

Carried my BLF A6 today.

Not sure why I dont carry this more often. 1600 lumens and 4 or 7 modes that can be clicked up or down in order. A super low moonlight and a stupod bright turbo.

Maybe the size I suppose.

A Surefire E1D , and a Surefire Titan Plus . I have others , but these two are a common EDC for me .

The Tiatan runs kind of hot , as a result it has a hard chromed brass body .

the 2xAAA mini Maglite was my first quality torch and I used mine for years.  I agree that the 111 lumen is a nice lightweight light that actually holds it's own, though I do think a low mode and a tail switch would see me carry it a lot more.  I'd also love to see a slim headed version (a la Solitaire) for extra ease of carry.

I love my LD12 and have waited for mine to Die so I can try the new version but it will not DIE!!!

And this one has been washed a few times by accident and chewed and buried by a dog twice too? :facepalm:



A few washings never hurt anything, it gives it a certain character EZ. ;)

I agree and I think the photo shows the Love too!

My Cousins little dog seems obsessed with this light really?
She keeps stealing it when I am using it for work on the floor and she sneaks it away.
I thought I had lost it the first time but then I found it months later buried in the ZEN sand garden under the basement stairs in their house along with all sorts of other things she stored there!
That is one funny dog!

I've been very dull and not changed my light since I bought the TIP.  Got to say it's a cracking wee light that punches well above it's size.

I've never owned an Olight, so I'm biased...

I've had an expansive collection, and day-to-day I rely on Peak, 4Sevens, Malkoff and Zebralight.  No regrets.

Last Week I went to get an SC53w but they were out of them so I snagged this SC64w instead!
Already have an SC62w,which by the way are pretty heavily discounted now too :whistle:

And several SC600 of each vintage
But I still pretty much EDC the 52 in the end.

I am trying the SC64 in the 52's place for a week or so to see if I can live with the extra length......and run times?!

Been looking at the Nitecore Tip 2017. 
Do or don't?

I really like mine (above in copper). I agree that they can come on in a crowded pocket but if it is in "day" mode, it will shut of it 30 secs so I leave it on low setting. If you need quick bright light, just hold the mode button and the brightest will come on. Can't see needing much more that this (want is a totally different thing).
The TINI (also pictured above) is very similar in output but the on/off requires about a 2 sec delay which some don't like but it has never come on in-pocket.
I have (had) many lights but these two will stay.
For the record I just bought a second Gizmo and an old ARC AAA for historical purposes. Found the Gizmo used at a great price and, well, you know the story.

Obviously.

I ordered right from Nitecore Store/Longhorn and they had a 10% coupon and I got it in 2 days Today too!
This is going to be one popular light I think,the display alone is a game changer really and it has a pretty huge battery for something this small.

I can't seem to put this one down even while charging it! :woohoo:

Thanks.  Its a great light and EZs light just makes me want another ZL.

Last Week I went to get an SC53w but they were out of them so I snagged this SC64w instead!
Already have an SC62w,which by the way are pretty heavily discounted now too :whistle:

And several SC600 of each vintage
But I still pretty much EDC the 52 in the end.

I am trying the SC64 in the 52's place for a week or so to see if I can live with the extra length......and run times?!

Went to get?

Where do they sell Zebralights that isn’t an online store?

You're right!
Eveready Vest-Pocket light. Patented 1904. The one I have is dated 1909. It originally used an Eveready 750 3v battery(which they stopped making in the 1930s/1940s), but I had to make a battery from a 2xAAA holder, duct tape and conductive tape. I went back to my Maglite at work today, but will take some photos of the inside label and modded battery pack when I get home.  :)

Post by: gerleatherberman on January 13, 2019, 05:02:29 AM
Well. Information wise, there isn't much else to add, except that these types of lights were popular in the early 1900s. Originally it came with a bulb that had the reflector behind a glass dome as part of the bulb itself. Mine came with that bulb, but I broke it like a clutz and am stuck using the fancy-pants mag-tip modern bulbs you see in a lot of electronics. At least the bulb base was similar.

The battery is pack is a quick throw together and will be properly updated at some point. I used a nut and bolt on the side that the switch touches for a solid point of on/off. Then I insulated it with duct tape and ran a stranded wire through a hole in the other side(pole) in the duct tape and made a contact pad over the strands with conductive tape for a bulb pole contact.

I love how small it is, thought it would be bigger.
While charging it, it turns blue. Does it change color when fully charged?

Nothing too tricky sadly but I have Tubes and Tips and if there is anything else in the pocket with them mine will always turn on in pocket and be dead when I need them.
ALWAYS!
Maybe it is just my pockets and the stuff I carry which is ridiculous admittedly but there are many,many others who have had the same experience.

The Tip requires that you press 2 buttons to come off lockout and it is so bad that they now sell them with a plastic cover/clip thingy to cover them in your pocket!

It can be very annoying to say the least.

So just something to think about.

Another thing is that many seem to forget they are locked out and think the light is dead,now that is funny to me!
But I am EZ too.

The interface is like all of those 10810 lights that popped up a few years ago where you tighten for low and tighten more for high.

Actually it is not really that bright.
It is more of a Utility thing with it that makes it great. There is a huge magnet and a flexible hanging clip on the case and the head can be swiveled and angled in 2 different planes too.
Many Fire Departments use the Knucklehead and clip it onto the Turnout gear or Helmet for a rugged and dependable light for the harsh conditions of firefighting.

I carry this one in the car when on road trips mostly and there is also a drop-in cradle charger for the car & house that comes with it.
The funny thing is that it comes with an ancient NiCad battery pack that gets neither high output or great runtime.
Also comes with an AA battery carrier so I can run it from AA Primary batteries but Streamlight just will not move out of the old times with battery technology for some reasons with many of their lights.

I only carry one flashlight every day, and it is probably something no one is talking about.

The MecArmy MOT10

*IPX8 water resistant
* up to 1000 Lumens
* takes multiple battery types (18650 is my primary)
* AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF ALL! IT IS A NO BS POWERBANK!!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :drool:

I have looked at a lot of flashlights, this is the only one with both a removable battery, and can charge any item from a standard usb port in this size range. Works incredibly well and is a manageable size.

Cheers,
HG

This is pretty much how I feel about all of the other things I carry too!
Once I find something that I like I rarely switch it up really so I have to force myself to experiment sometimes and usually for no good outcome too!

The only real difference with me though is Lights as I need light so much that I carry more than I need always so it is an easier job to mix it up here for me. :woohoo:

Does seem to be the way that works!
I have the Streamlight hanging in the Living room usually as pictured and that same UST in the Bedroom like you!
The power was back when I got home that Afternoon thankfully too.

For some reason we have had more outages in the last year or so than in the last 10 years?

Thanks but there is just 1 light there!
The bottom thing is the battery charger and spare battery,I should have been clearer maybe.

The batteries can charge inside the light by USB and also in the charger thingy.
I got a package deal with extra battery and charger so I can hopefully always have a charged battery ready to go.

This is a pretty sweet work light and also has a NW emitter and is great for working with wire for sure!

Gotta love Milwaukee, they make good stuff.....expensive but good just bought a Packout rolling tool box and the backpack for almost $300!!!! I have the M18 latern and its my go to for work would love to have their M18 floodlight AC power along with the battery makes it so sweet but its also expensive. I looked at the Rover USB but its also pricey, and the USB pivot flood but my company provides batteries allday so the Rover AA is likely to find its way to me, and the USB headlamp would be nice too.....many much tools and not many much money lol

Title: Re: What light did you carry today?
Post by: sergemaster on March 01, 2019, 07:08:46 PM
Amici,
Here are the specs taken directly from the website:

The unique beauty of Titanium
Titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal and superb corrosion resistance, making it ideal for the material choice for our limited edition pocket flashlights.

The D25 clicky Ti is machined from titanium rod with CNC and hand polished to mirror-like finish. Order your personal copy now from your EAGTAC dealer before they are gone.

Best LED driver available
D25 clicky Ti series is the first to use the A400RC II driver and A950RC II driver. Both feature high efficiency, clicky and twist head operation, programmable 0.5 lumen moonlight mode, optional mode memory (D25C only), added auxiliary modes (i.e. disorientated strobe, fast SOS), and single li-ion compatibility.

CREE XM-L2 U2 LED
We are putting the highest and latest bin available LED into the D25 clicky Ti for maximum brightness. XM-L2 led gives a relatively flood beam in the D25 reflector but higher output. If you are looking for a more concentrated beam, choose the CREE XP-G S2 Ti version. We also offer XM-L2 T6 LED in neutral white favor.

What's special?
Titanium built
Polished down to mirror finish
Pure copper LED heatsink
New A400RC II and A950RC II circuit
Programmable last mode memory (D25C) and moonlight settings
Pre-select output before turning on
Glow-in-the-dark Switch boot (Super bright!)
EAGTAC D25C Clicky Ti  Download HD pics | std pics

Powerful ultra-compact single CR123A flashlight. Must have for flashlight lovers and collectors. Uses CREE XM-L2 U2 or XP-G S2 LED.

1/29/260/397 LED lumen (XM-L2 U2)
0.5/22/182/277 O.T.F. lumen
Runtime: 0.9/1.6/10/150+ hours
Runs on RCR123A li-ion (direct drive*) Battery fitment
Twist head for group output, clicky switch for on/off and modes
Operations: (Basic) Press on the switch button until it clicks to switch on. Press the switch again for off. Access output groups 1 & 2 by tighten or loosen the head. Slightly press the switch to switch between different outputs. (Advance) 1) Moonlight output - dim or increase the entire output range of the group 1 output. Toggle this setting starting with head loosens, turn on the light, and then repeat tight and loose for three times. 2) Mode memory - remembers the last output in group 1. To toggle this setting, with head tighten, turn on the light, and repeat loose and tight for three times.

So in a nutshell, it rocks! I recommend it!

Cheers,
Serge

Same here,I have both A & C versions in Aluminum and a C in Ti,they are really great and maybe the smallest of the type too!
The little aaa and the 2xAA are also outstanding of course.

The Rovyvon A8 has just replaced my Thrunite Ti3 for EDC in the last week.

(https://i.imgur.com/OaydB0r.jpg?2)

Here it is next to some AAA flashlights (top to bottom: Astrolux A01, Thrunite Ti3, Aurora A8, Sofirn C01, Manker E02). Diameter is same as Thrunite and Sofirn.

I like the UI (1 click for tactical, 2 clicks for moonlight then cycle L-M-H, 3 clicks for UV side light then cycle red-red flash-UV, 4 clicks for white/reading sidelight).  What made me change was the side-switch is so much easier than a twisty operation, and the nicer colour tint of the main beam.  What I don't like, and will see if I can live with it, is the moonlight mode is much higher than the Thrunite Ti3, and it's not in 'tactical' black.  ::)

Post by: sergemaster on March 06, 2019, 03:54:44 PM
Amici,
What I feel is the biggest drawback with the 3TEOS compared to the Stylus is the end cap clicky. I feel that the stylus is more robust, as well as utilizing better materials. Both Olight's that I have, (black and copper), seem to require an extra effort just to turn them on, or just fail igniting. That's as compared the the flawless operation of the microstream..

Cheers,
Serge

Thanks for expanding on your comment,I was hoping to get more out of your thoughts about it and now have!
The funny thing too is that one complaint I have often read about the Microstream was about how tough the switch could be to activate but then here you say the Olight is even worse.

So its good to know and for me the Micro is one of those classic lights that I hope they never break by making better!? :whistle:

This G3 has a Low Voltage 5 speed drop-in and I run it on 2aa Eneloops for a long while!

I have a G2 in my B.O.B. with a Malkoff extra long run time Drop-In for the 123s

There are so many great ones that it is fun to experiment and I suggest the Nailbender dop-in if just starting out.
And if not just starting out too!
He makes great units and they are reasonably priced too.

The Malkoffs are also really reasonable for what you are getting so don't be scared of them either!

Amici,
Today's light we have the Nitecore TIP, but this one is manufactured out of stainless steel. Not that the original ones which were made out of Aluminum had any real issues, but these are definitely built to a much higher standard, and you can feel this when in hand. I have dropped this Black and Silver SS models numerous times from Asphalt to concrete, and hardly a ding or scratch, not as if that would be bad. In fact, such battle damage adds, "character" to the light as a whole I believe.   

There are only a few things I do not like about the TIP series, and they are:

1-The two piece construction, with the use of a visible rubber gasket. This sorta reminds me of an engine block and the head gasket, which in some of the old Cadillac engines ( which were made out of aluminum with poorly tapped bolts, would fail). My rubber gasket on the 1st generation TIP started to fail, and began to separate from the two components. I used Gorilla glue to repair it, when for the amount paid, plus the hype, I should not have needed too.. (hence my 1990's Cadillac engine analogy).

2-It utilizes an automatic turn off, just  as soon as you turn it on.. I find this annoying.. It will turn off, right in the middle of your current task. This should be an option, that can be switched on and off.

3-The USB port dust cover, is a pain to take off, especially in a pinch. But it is workable.. You can utilize the light switch with the cover on with the older Aluminum models, not so with the SS versions.

4-Nitecore customer Service... Simply it absolutely sucks... pardon my language, but I need to call a spade a spade. For example, one of my original aluminum TIP lights, dropped and lost a screw. I sent their CS an email informing them of the issue, and simply requested a replacement screw, that's all. They responded that since I didn't buy the TIP directly from them, but from an online vendor, (why should that matter?) that they would not honor any warranty, so would not send a screw out.

BUT IF I went ahead and purchased another light from them directly, then they would gladly send a replacement screw along with the order. That's just nuts.. 

So in a nutshell, (no pun intended), If you haven't purchased one yet, but are planning too, definitely go with the Stainless Steel versions, just be aware of the negatives to go along with the positives.

Cheers,
Serge

 :tu:  Thank you.  I have to check these out again.  When I got the light I was really psyched to do it but that excitement slowed.  I was going thru my 123 cells to check them and realized I had more than enough to put into this light for fun.  Then the gear got going again.   Its a cool light albeit large for today standards.

Again much appreciate the info.

The TIP in copper today.
I must have a newer version because you can turn off the 30-seconds off function. It is meant as an option to the lockout. It left on low setting, and it gets activated in pocket, it shuts off in 30 secs.
The TINI has the same feature and, in addition, it has a 2 second delay at turn-on. Never had the TINI turn itself on.
Got em both in copper. Very nice quality (at least the ones I have).

I have been carrying this Armytec Elf since getting it a few weeks ago and in Montana I carried it in pocket or on head the whole time.
The Cabin I was working on was so dark that I could not really see anything without a light!
All of the Wall Plates were Black and the walls were all stained dark too.

This one is turning ot to be indispensable too.
10 days and never needing a recharge of nice Warm tinted light.
Also pretty comfy for the size,the head band is great.

The Kids there vacationing got a kick out of my wearing the light too with one of the clients kids telling the other visiting kids " Oh thats just Uncle Ed,he always does that"!

And Yes I do! :hatsoff: :dunno: :whistle:

Funny too that as the weather gets warmer and I migrate away from shirts with a pocket,my light choices also migrate with that.
Boy do I need to get out more?

By the way the bag is my Man Purse that moves into and out of the truck as I switch throughout the week.
Just a great bag!

HDS!  Those were the good old days, I remembered when I was a full fledged flashaholics, those are the grail lights for many people.  Those multi-modes button press were light years ahead of many competitor, surefire was great in quality but no where as 'smart' as the HDS.  But eventually with all the new led lights flooding the market, they no longer could sell as well and eventually faded out (went out of business?).  I did recall they came back on for a bit, but are they still around?

HDS is still around. https://www.hdssystems.com

With you mentioning clicking and thinking they went out of business, it makes me wonder if you are even aware of their rotary lights?  To me the HDS Rotary is an outstanding light - 24 brightness levels controlled by a rotary ring with 3 other user programmed settings easily accessed by tail clickie.  HDS is not for those wanting high lumens, but definitely nice for those wanting a durable and versatile light.

Thanks for the link, I'd look them up and see those offerings. 


Never a huge fan for clickie(it will fail eventually), and personally it does look a little too bulky for my current taste now.  These posts just reminded me I got one long ago and I probably should dig it out from storage for reminiscence sake. Btw, I remember it being expensive but it was a buy once, cry once kinda deal for me.  But looking at all the pricing nowadays, why would they not include a clip for a round flashlight like this?  If it were a Damascus hand made clip I could understand it, but $57 for just a plain jane clip?  Isn't it a bit much? :think:

If you buy a Clickie these days you do get the basic Plain Jane Clip with it but the $57 Clip that is pictured on my Rotary in the 2nd pic above is a specialty clip developed for the Rotary and according to Henry the best he could come up with for this light.

Many do not like this clip at all really and would not want it to be added in the base pice of the already pricey light.
Others like Sos24 use a Lanyard to contain his Rotary.
There are also other ways to use a more standard clip on a Rotary but there are usually downsides in doing so as well.

I don't love the clip but it beats having no clip to me so I have a few with one and a few without one
.
The HDS is a little Rotund to me as well and I rarely EDC one because of it.
The HDS also has limited Lumen output compared to most current lights really but those who love them,love them nonetheless!
The HDS is designed to Get You Home no matter the conditions and I will say I am confident in that being the case for sure,clicky or otherwise!

Despite my slight complains about the 'value' of the accessories, I do have to agree with you on the robust construction of the build.  In some way, it does remind me of the surefire lights, might not be the most advance tech, but definitely build to last.

Sorry but I can not agree here with you at all.

The HDS might be one of the most Technologically advanced lights around these days and especially the Rotary model.
Have you ever tried to program one?
They can be used just fine out of the box but also have the ability to pretty easily customize in some unique ways to be just how you prefer them too.

The notion that the smooth stepped rotary selected output and control from the rotary encoder to the single button is simple at all is just not the case.
If you read up some about how this light is designed and built I think it quickly becomes clear too.

Now the fact that these are also SF rugged and simple to operate ye really flexible at the same time is true but the road to get there is not as straightforward as most lights these days.

There are for sure more complex lights for sale these days but not many with the same combination of features,performance and reliability that is proven over the long time HDS have been in the marketplace either.

No problem at all, agree to disagree :D --it probably is not an accurate analogy anyway, and I do know HDS has different tech than SF, maybe I should take a closer look to learn how much has tech advanced. 

I used to be a hardcore flashaholic and do appreciate all the bells and whistles with different lights.  But nowadays, I grow to appreciate the simplicity of things and just no longer needs dozens of level or complicated programming of a flashlight, so as long the light is fairly priced, ultralight and compact, decently build and a few useful levels with decent efficiency, I am already happy as is.

I hate when that happens. Today's computers just aren't built to last. I had a HP Pavillion desktop last from 2001 to when my folks got rid of it in 2015. It still worked, but was as slow as a snail.  Its replacement only lasted five years (back when All-in-Ones were all the rage) when it died in the middle of a college exam; and now the Asus that replaced that HP is now going on 5 years of age. I loved the Acer laptop I had--but the wireless adapter or antenna broke. It's 6. I might try to replace those parts and see if it works. So far, what fixed the other two laptops in the house didn't work on the Acer.

Very impressed with the quality and it feels great in the hand. It is a modular design so you can mix and match different colors on the body and clip. Could be my new favorite (I know, I know).

Love the smoky scales. What will it take for you to give up your rotary? Just curious. Is there anything about it that you don’t like?

Thanks on the scales.

As far as the HDS rotary, I think it would take a lot for me to give it up, because for me it is such a great light with many features that I love.  I might give it up if I could get a smaller and lighter flashlight that still had all the features and reliability of the HDS rotary while giving a higher max lumen.

There are a few things where I might like it better “if” but these aren’t really dislikes.  Some examples of what I mean:
- it would be nice if the light was a little smaller and lighter, but currently it is still pocketable and I have gotten use to it
- it would be nice if brightness change was smooth rather than steps, but that is not a deal breaker, because I like it better than any others I have tried with rotary or ramping adjustment.
- A higher max lumen would be nice, especially if could also be HiCri, but the 325NLT is sufficient for my normally everyday needs.

The Jetbeam RRT-01 is a really nice light.  The only thing that I do not like about it is that it only turns on at low and off at low, inless you want to turn off by loosening the battery compartment.  To get to any brightness level you must progress through all levels from low then back.  If you like ramping lights, you may really like the rotary, because I feel it gives more incremental control than single button ramping.  Personally I prefer the button plus rotary UI, which a previous version of this light had, but this one does not.

Are you saying this one has the Tactical interface too?

I far prefer the standard Rotary interface as I get twice the number of steps on the Rotary and I really have no need or love for the Strobe stuff at all.

I got one to give it a try but have considered getting it reprogrammed to be a standard rotary because of the coarseness of the fewer steps and lack of range on the dial with the Tactical interface.

I liked the Jetbeam for a short while too but the lack of a switch made it impractical for me to carry as they ALL turn on in my pocket all the time if there is no actual on/off switch.

Many still do even with the switch but that one was one of the worst or me.

I purchased the original RRT-01 a while ago and sold it quickly.  The control ring was too easy to rotate. Just recently got the 2019 version and really like it.  There is a definite firm detent at both ends so much more secure in my opinion.
Even using the battery that came with it.

I’m sorry if I gave the wrong impression, but no. 
I was saying that because the RRT does not have a switch and off is located at the low end, you do not have the option of turning the RRT on/off anywhere but low unless you partially unscrew the battery compartment as on/off.

I felt the same with the HDS Tactical.  When I sent mine in to get the upgraded software, I asked Henry to switch it to an EDC Rotary vice EDC Tactical Interface and am really happy I did.   With the Rotary you can still see the steps in brightness levels as you go thru them slow, but it is not drastic like the tactical.  When I was replying to ROC, I just meant having infinite levels on the rotary so it was smooth ramping would be ideal in my opinion, but the Rotary is still great.

No I am sorry I did not misunderstand and was not really asking about the RRT at all but only the comment about the HDS and was trying to figure out of the model number you listed was the Tac interface and not the standard Rotary,Whew!

I just didn't and still do not know what you mean by the term "button plus rotary"?
Are you saying the way the HDS is with the Rotary Encoder Dial AND a Button on the end vs. the RRT dial only operation?

It is hard not to agree with this if thats what you mean!

Yes, "tail switch" is what I meant and would have been clearer.  I like how the HDS' tail switch allows on/off at any brightness plus immediate access to high.

Yikes. I may not go that direction after all. I mean, I know the RRT turns on at the lowest setting, so I doubt there would be a burn issue...but the thought of my light draining without me knowing it is a problem for me.

One thing that absolutely drives me crazy...the lights go out and someone has a light that they have not checked the batteries in for a year and it is dead. If I was like, "No worries, I have a light right here," and it was dead, I would be embarrassed.

Agree.  With the RRT, it was in a pocket with some other stuff and I think it must have turned on at one point when I was putting my hand in/ pulling out. 

That is also why I’m picky about my keychain light.  I hand one with a touch switch, that even though in “lock-out” still drain battery by the switch getting touched by almost anything.  Fortunately, I frequently check my lights to make sure good and it is back-up.  Now, keychain is always a twist that will not easily twist and doesn’t light when pressed like some.

Indeed!

I dont know what goes on in my pockets but I am almost unable to prevent a light from turning on if just floating in there on its own?
So my ZL is clipped to the top of the right pocket and never turns on by itself and I have a Ti 4/7 mini mkII floating down there on keys but it is so gritty and tough to turn that it stays off until I need it to be on!

It’s a D4v2. It’s the sst-20 6500k. It’s my for smurfs and giggles light. I was just in the process of buying another in a warmer tint when I got the notification for this thread. 🤫

My FW is a 219c and I prefer the warmer tint. Trying to decide on what tint to order for the D4v2. I’m ordering from Mountain and they are out of a lot of the options.

To answer your other question, I prefer the Emisar. The side switch just does it for me. I notice no difference in pocket carry.

To add to my last reply, I’ve hade zero issues with either light. I like having the aux leds. Might be another reason I prefer the Emisar. They may be for show, but it adds a fun factor. I may get my FW modded in the future to have aux leds. It just adds more play factor to the light.

They Just feel more solid to me. That Ti version is pretty nice. Wish they had the glow switch on all of them. I decided to hold off on ordering another till I can make up my mind. Might have to consider the Ti. What emitter are you thinking about getting? I had a XPL 3A in my cart, but chickened out.

If I go stock, then most likely the Nichia 219c 5000k.  I am also tempted to go through SkyLumen to get a titanium a one with the White 2 and throw optics.  That is what I have in my current D4 and other than being a little cooler than desired it is really nice.  The one I’d really like is his One-Off, but I can’t bring myself to do it, considering how much I spent on flashlights last month.

There is no cure I know of.  Although, I do know it is highly contagious and interacting with others who have the same smurf can cause it to get worse.  That being said and knowing your attraction to Emissar, have you looked at SkyLumen Emissar D4vn v2 with throw optics with White 2 emitter?  The price is steep compared to the cost of the regular D4 v2, but it is a pretty awesome light.

I had it inside my pocket. These jeans are a bit loose. I thought about grabbing some carpenter or painter pants for the long pocket along the leg just for extra carry space. I have been rotating lights lately so I am trying to make sure I am able to carry them comfortably.

3. I am not as bad as (enter other flashaholic's name here)
4. It hasn't changed me at all

Tested the new Armytek Viking XHP50 warm.
First on the beach dunes then in the dense forest.
In the beach I was initially disappointed, near the sea there is always an effect of refraction of light, the torches with wide beam are not ideal in that condition.
Much better in the woods, beautiful color tint and very wide and comfortable beam.
In the woods then I realized that the torch was delivered with Turbo2 = 840 lumens
I changed the settings and saw the full power (1680 lumens)  it is spectacular and does not overheat excessively.
With the Wizard and the Viking both on a Turbo level I felt the wildboars fidget and grunt in the undergrowth.
Title: Re: What light did you carry today?
Post by: spudley112 on December 17, 2019, 07:29:05 PM
I also like a wide beam, but with a bit of ability to reach out. I know those are hard traits to find in one light, but my dedicated throwers have such narrow beams, they are not great for a lot of tasks.
Title: Re: What light did you carry today?
Post by: Stefano on December 17, 2019, 07:38:21 PM
Indeed, Viking can be criticized.
It is excessively wide beam.
I would have liked a few more meters of shooting but with Turbo 1 or Turbo 2 in a narrow forest it is spectacular.
Perhaps a smooth reflector would have been enough, or always orange peel but with less roughness.
On CPF I saw a good recent review of this light.

You're right.
I think the person got confused when he mentioned the official Armytek data.
On the official Viking PDF there are two different Viking parameters (it can be led XHP50 or led XP-L)
The 370 meters refer to the old XP-L version (33500cd - 366 meters)
The new XHP50 version has 20500 cd and 286 meters (ANSI) declared

A nice walk in a forest.
It was difficult because there was a windstorm in the past few days.
I found many fallen trees to get around or climb over, in the end I arrived on a small lake while the sun was setting.
I made the return in the dark with Armytek Wizard (basic version with XP-L led) and alternating the Armytek Predator ProXHP35 Hi with the Viking Pro XHP50.
Low ambient temperatures helped me use the lights at full power without overheating.
Very impressed by the Predator, it is a thrower but in the dense forest (with the help of Headlamp) it still manages to be valid.
A fairly bright spill.
It was a nice evening at Flashaholics

I am a real runtime junkie and the Armytek headlamps have some super impressive low end run times, and some night splitting upper end performance. I would love to hear more a bout your experience with you light. I am thinking it may be one I need to add to my collection soon.

BTW - There is a reddit post out there where a guy has been running his Armytek headlamp on its lowest setting for nearly a year now...way beyone the advertised 200 days (which is impressive on its own!).

@Spudley
See also Zebralight Headlamp which has multiple light levels and offers the possibility to customize them. Example: H600Fc

About Armytek I can tell you my experience.
In the last 3 years I have bought many Armytek headlamps because I find a way to pay them little.
I bought the first one as a guest lamp when I was hiking, then I ended up using it at home and in the garden (not to consume my Zebra)
When the Magnet USB versions came out I started buying many pieces (I gave many gifts) these headlamps were also used for work, they proved robust, they fell, they were used under water and immersed, none has failed.
Compared to the Zebra I like the recessed lens which is more protected in the event of a collision, even the magnetic refill is very comfortable (it is slow but in the evening you connect the cable and do not open the torch, this increases the life of the thread and rubber rings)
I must specify that my positive experiences are with the Wizard version "Basic" XP-L and ELF C2.
All specimens bought for me or given away have a nice Warm color.
I bought a Wizard Pro version in 2017 and returned it after trying it for only an hour.
It didn't have the lumens advertised, maybe I was out of luck.
A few days ago I purchased the Pro version again but for the holidays it is delayed in delivery, I hope to have more luck this time.

I don't know what are the low levels you are talking about I assume that you are talking about the 0.4 lumens of ELFC2 (200 days) or Wizard basic (100 days)

The difference in runtime between the two models (with the same low output) seems to suggest that the ELF has a circuit that is more effective at low levels.
Difference between Wizard Basic and ELF C2 is that the first one has Magnet_USB charge, the second one (ELF) Micro_USB port in the back of the head (charging speed is similar) - Armytek says that the ELF version remains waterproof even without the protection rubber, I can confirm that it's true because the rubber has a limited duration and I've already lost one but no problem even washing the Headlamp under tap water.
Be careful though that there is a strong brightness difference between Wizard Basic and ELF.
The Elf is lower on almost all levels (little difference) but on the Turbo level I see a strong difference between the two models in favor of Wizard Basic.
Looking at the manuals there are 930 lumens for Wizard and 900 for ELF (subtract 7% if you buy a Warm version) but in all the specimens that I have seen the Wizard is more powerful on the Turbo than at least 100 lumens or maybe more.
I think that the Wizard basic XP-L warm is close to 1000 lumens and the ELF is on the real 840 lumens (but both have the same LED)
Elf probably intentionally has a less exasperated driver to the full advantage of autonomy on all high levels.
https://www.armytek.com/index.php?dispatch=attachments.getfile&attachment_id=125
https://www.armytek.com/index.php?dispatch=attachments.getfile&attachment_id=91

I like that level of 0.4 (but I'm less in the Warm version, probably 0.35 lumens) I find it "right" allows you to save night vision enough, not to draw attention but at the same time to see enough without straining .
I don't like too low levels which are useful only to see your watch, I approve them in a Headlamp like Zebralight where you can customize the levels you need but here on Armytek I find that 0.3 / 0.4 lumens are a right choice and practical utility.
The Firefly 2 level on the two headlamps is 2.3 lumens (less and less 7%) here I would have liked 0,5/1 lumens more.. however it is acceptable.

As for the Wizard Pro (that I have used very little) the Firefly levels are very low.
https://www.armytek.com/index.php?dispatch=attachments.getfile&attachment_id=126
There is a level of 0.15* lumens (Firefly 1) and then one of 1.5 lumens (Firefly 2)
Then a 5.5 lumens (Firefly 3)
*(also here subtract 7% for the Warm tint version)

When I tried the Wizard Pro I found the two levels too low and of little use.
Yes,' there is the 5.5 level which is bright enough to do everything but I would have liked a different selection.
Example: (as I would have liked)
0.2 lumens
2.8 / 3.5 lumens
8/10 lumens

You must also consider that the Wizard Pro interface is also significantly different from the Basic / ELF version
It has 4 levels/layers
Firefly (3)
Main (3)
Turbo (2)
Strobo (3)
Without going into details I can say that it is not exploited well in the turbo level.
We have 3 Firefly, 3 main levels, 3 Strobes, why not 3 Turbo levels?
Would have been nice:
Turbo 1 = 600 lumens
Turbo 2 = 900 lumens
Turbo 3 = 1800 lumens

I say this because as a headlamp enthusiast I find that a light level of 550/600 lumens (like Zebralight allows you to choose) is a right compromise between brightness, autonomy and warmth.

Another thing I want to remember is that the Wizard Pro version has strobe levels, the Basic and ELF versions don't.

In summary my consolidated experience is mainly with Wizard "Basic" and ELF C2 while with the Wizard Pro I can't speak much (next week I can tell you more about it)

I find that those two XP-L models (ELF and Wizard Basic)are perfectly successful headlamps and have a really nice beam, a perfect combination of flood and depth.

On the  version Pro with led XHP50 (but *remember* that I probably received a Wizard Pro specimen with non-compliant specifications) there is a perhaps larger and more homogeneous light beam but it lacked much depth.
I compared the Basic version and the Pro version on the Main levels (which are the same as lumens) in the woods and with the Basic version (XP-L) I saw many meters ahead of the Pro which resulted in a much, much less range/throw.

Regarding the Pro version on the various forums complaints of failures or bugs have often been read (but it seems that the Pro version has recently become reliable)
While on the Basic versions I have never read about faults but maybe it could depend on the fact that the Pro version sells more and therefore there is more "statistics"? (just a hypothesis..)

These three Headlamps I told you about are always sold together with a good battery, it has Armytek brand but under the film you find a LG MH1 3200 mA, it is a valid battery. (I bought and used many of them on other lights)

If you want to buy an Armytek headlamp I hope I have given you good food for thought.

Please consider that I write with an online translator and therefore there may be many errors. (I don't have time to review well)

Edit:
I looked at the manuals (of which I put the links above)
They have been corrected, PDF of Wizard Basic now reports 1000 lumens (in the past 900 was written on the manual) so my eyes had seen well, there are at least 100 lumens of difference between Wizard Basic and ELF.
What he had probably 900 lumens was the old version of the Wizard without the Magnetic Charging
Edit 2: I made some corrections to the translation

Stefano,

Thanks for the detailed reply. It answers everything I need to know. Yes, I like the idea of .4 lumens for 200 days, and I also feel that the .15 would be too low to be useful...although I saw one gentleman that said he leaves the light on that setting all night so his light is easy to find in the dark whether around the house or out camping.

I think the Elf C2 is what I want for now, but the 18350 version Elf C1 looks great too. Compact light providing nearly two months of runtime is pretty impressive.

I looked that the Zebralight, and although I have heard great things about them, I just am not ready to drop $90 at this point. I think the Elf C2 will be perfect.

As for headlamps...at this point I am using an Imalent HR20 and I love the ability to use the dial to get just the right level of light. I like ramping and rotary type UIs because, like you, I often run into situations where one level seems too low, but the next level seems too bright.

Stefano,

One thing I forgot to write is that the ELF version and the Pro version have the power button flashing, it indicates the percentage of charge.
In the Pro version it can also be set for flashing_ help in finding the torch.
Watch the manual or some videos on Youtube for this function that can be enabled / disabled.

Carrying my Thrunite Neutroc 2C today.

Last night I woke up at 3am and could not sleep. It was a pretty mild night and I stepped out on the Balcony with several of my favorite lights just to do a little beam comparison. I probably looked like a fool with a bunch of lights line up and me shining them on cars in the parking lot, but I was enjoying it. The reality is that I really don't need so many lights, but the journey of finding and testing different lights with their individual light profiles, temperatures and performance is kind of fun. I like trying to find that "perfect" light.

I went with the Armytek Wizard Pro warm to the woods but had to go out before it was completely dark.
I tried it later in the garden.
A year or two ago I bought this headlamp but it had some problems, it did not have much light, the specimen arrived today instead seems very good.
The results exceed expectations, the only drawback the interface of the Pro version is really complicated and the very low button does not help much.
However satisfied.

Walked an hour in the woods with Armytek Viking and Armytek Wizard Pro (both warm)
With the Viking I alternated the Turbo and Main level of 360 lumens, at home I found the battery at 3.90 V (LG MH1 3200 mA)

With Wizard Pro I alternated between Turbo 1 (840 lumens) and Turbo 2 (approximately 1600 lm) at the end at home I measured the battery Samsung 30 Q (3000 mA) and it was 3,60 volts

The ambient temperature was around 10 degrees Celsius.
The Viking tolerate heat very well.
The Wizard Pro at maximum power drops quickly enough, I don't know how much but I think around 1000/1200 lumens (with even lower temperatures there would probably be a maximum power with a lower drop)

Post by: spudley112 on January 04, 2020, 01:31:49 AM
Interesting. I really think the place flashlight technology needs to go is toward better heat management. The push toward maximum lumens in a small package really catches the eye of the average buyer, but the truth is, the ability to sustain that brightness just is not there. It is great to have a light that advertises that it can blast out 3000 lumens, but when you see that it can only maintain that for a minute before a massive step down, it really is not that great.

With all that being said, I know many people only use turbo modes for a few seconds at a time, but truthfully, I would like to see they ability to really light up the night, become a sustainable proposition. Thermal management is where that is at.

I remember my first Headlamp 18650, a Zebralight H600 XM-L (cool withe because I didn't find the neutral version in Italy)
It could stay "only" 3 minutes (timed) at 750 lumens, then it went down to 420 lumens.
7 years have passed and how far these lights have gone, now we customers look at Headlamp with thermal management which have almost 2000 lumens (or some exceed them) with extreme cold some of these lights can provide an almost continuous maximum power.
I wonder what we will have in our hands in 5 or 10 years...

Used the PD35 V2.0 outdoors during a short walk.
I don't like using cool withe lights in the woods but I wanted to see this light well.
Impressed by throwing when it is at turbo level.
From the first day I thought that the throw was higher than declared, this evening I did a test with the luxmeter at home, the instrument confirms.
Fenix declares 15600 cd - 18300 instead found (then gradually decreases)
The Fenix value is measured after 30 seconds, however I still get 17400 cd after a minute.

I'm still carrying a trusty FourSevens Quark Tactical powered by 14500 li-ion.  Unfortunately I lost one of these while camping last year, and it was a rare neutral XP-E emitter version that I couldn't find a replacement for.  I've been snatching up used ones where I can and upgrading them.  The UI and program-ability of these make them perfect for my uses and, thanks to Surefire litigation, this UI will never be seen in any new Quarks.

I just upgraded this one over the weekend from a cool white XP-G2 to a neutral XP-G3 4000K.

I decided to start giving the Olight M2R Pro Warrior some more carry time. This is a light that took a lot of heat over the fact that it comes with a proprietary battery that is a bit more expensive and only available from Olight. OK, I get all that but I have to say, this light deserves a bit better consideration. First of all, yes a more expensive custom battery is a bummer, but dealing with rechargeable batteries means in the end the actual cost per hour of light is probably less than a Ray-o-vac AAA. By the time you have to replace the battery, you have gleaned a lot of light from it...yeah...it still adds up to more than a standard battery...but hey, trying to be positive here.

The light has some very good throw for a "tactical" light. This will likely be the light that ends up on my M14 or AR15 in the near future. With the available remote switch with magnetic connection, it is a simple system to use and charge. The light tends to have a yellowish tint to it. I usually go for more of a neutral white in my lights, but I have noticed that when using a light as a lantern by adding a diffuser, the warmer tints seem to be a bit more pleasant.

The two switch (tail switch and side switch) system is actually very nice for quick access to various modes of light in quick order. For me, I leave the side switch memory on 1 lumen for a light that I can use to navigate around the house or campsite and the tail switch offers two modes. Half press for 250 lumens and full press for 1800 lumens. That gives me 3 light levels quickly as needed.

I am a runtime junkie. A light with an astronomical turbo mode is nice, but I tend to look at the lower levels and the amount of estimated runtime they give me. I like the idea that the light can be charged, then accompany me on an extended camping trip, motorcycle trip or other activities and continue to provide light is what attracts me to a particular model. When I was a police officer, we had some incredibly bright rechargeable lights mounted in our cars, and these were great for traffic stop scenarios, but I once found out the hard way that tracking a fugitive for hours on end through the woods was not really what the lights were up for. Luckily, I always carried an extra flashlight as well as a weapon light. TO this day, I look for a light that is going to keep running throughout the night. The M2R Pro definitely fits the bill.

I have been noticing this too!

I know for myself I am pretty much carrying the same lights every day now and have been for a few years so whats the point of repeating the same pics endlessly on the one hand and on the other hand I find that the more I post pics the more I look at pics and the more new lights I buy that I really do not need to!!!

I guess I should report here that I somehow did not buy a single light in the last year or more really and though I have seen a small few of interest I just have stopped adding to the herd!
It honestly feels kind of liberating in a strange way.
I have the lights that work for me now and unless I am adding to my daily utility I am trying to stop the collecting for its own sake or passing interest.

I have replaced the Milwaukee AAA Penlight with rubber chomp area a few times as I wear them out pretty quickly but these are just a disposable tool that I use every day and not anything more but otherwise I have been clean.

I am starting to embrace the truism that "I do not own my stuff my stuff owns me" if you know what I mean!?!

Yeah, it can be very easy to look in this thread and say "ooh, that one looks good..." and plunge into a research blitz (as I just did with giuaconmua's rather good looking Skilhunt H04 Mini RC ;)).  However unless it's something genuinely new and different to me, and that I even might have a use for, then I've gotten good at ignoring it. I've got a headlamp that suits me.  I've got a 18650 (or three) that suit me.  I've got a keying light that suits me etc etc. 

I might be wrong but light technology seems to have plateaued and, while companies are making some small improvements, it's nothing quantum.

I'm giving this one another try.  I've carried either a Quark Tactical or Malkoff for years because of the simple interface, but this one I'm still not quite as comfortable with.  I like to know without at doubt what light level I'm going to get before I turn the light on.  I love the light otherwise--it's compact, with great output and beam, tint and CRI.

Regardless, Jason Hui deserves credit for bringing the Foursevens brand up-to-date with great offerings.

Interesting.  I'm not familiar with Warm White LED.  I love LED flashlights for their brightness, but my eyes don't do well with small detail in super bright light.  We have a combination lock on the bike cage at work and in fall when it's dark, my LED bike lights just wash out the numbers.  So I've taken to carrying an old Maglite Solitaire with an incandescent bulb.  Works much better as the softer light doesn't wash everything out.  Do you think the warm white LED would be comparable?

That's why I bought it. I wanted an output similar to an incandescent, but incandescent lights are harder to deal with; due to lack of battery life, and the fact bulbs with regular use, need to be changed regularly.  It's brighter, the battery lasts longer; there are no bulbs to change every couple of weeks, and it doesn't get hot after extended periods as much.

Peak LED Solutions Eiger. 4000K Nichia 219B 95+ CRI R9080

The Peak is a fantastic little task light that can be easily clipped to the brim/bill of a cap for use as a headlamp.  15 lumens for 4-5 hours on a Eneloop AAA.
The Malkoff is great for the more infrequent tasks requiring more output. 200 lumens for 2.5 hours on a 1000mAh 14500.
Both are made in the USA and will survive just about anything you can throw at them.

I'm a long time fan of Peak, having owned their products for about 20 years, but I'm not much a fan of their use of QTC to offer variable output.  My opinion is that the decision to use QTC in their lights took them from one of the most reliable, indestructible lights ever made to one of lesser reliability.  So, I order mine as a single output light without QTC rather than variable output with QTC.  This can still be done, but since they're not advertised this way any more, you have to know what to ask for, and special order them.  If you're interested in that, I can send you a document Peak published years ago about the single-level options.

With that said, a high CRI light like this is what you're looking for if you're trying to get the visual accuracy that your incandescent solitaire provides.

I was using the smaller HS10 and kinda drained the battery in just a couple of sessions. I now plan to try and use the HS40 - first with a small 18350 battery and if it’s not enough, go full size to 18650.  I’ve found the headlamps quite convenient especially when I need better illumination and need 2 hands to work on something.

My only gripe on the HS40 is the tint leaning towards green.

Streamlight Microstream USB.  What I like about this one, and its larger brother the 2xAAA, is the simple user interface and the stiff clicky that rarely activates accidentally.  On this USB flavor, the light body slides apart to reveal a micro USB charging port.  I have found the Microstream series to be highly reliable.

I have been carrying the Seeker 2 for work the last few days. It's a bit larger than the ones I've previously carried, but what a torch!

Looked up the specs on the Seeker 2.  That's a lot of lumens in a handy size.  :tu:

I failed to mention that this is the pro edition, so it has a bit more (3200 lm). I rarely use the highest setting though, because it gets burning hot :ahhh

They sure picked the right name for that light! 

I don't hesitate to carry a light with me ever.  Just the other day as I was getting ready to leave I added a second light to my work carry.  Sure enough I ended up using it to better see in an area that is shaded.  I always have my Auroa key chain light but the light I added was my Zebralight.  Sorry no pics. 

As the time will be changing soon I am rarely without 2 lights.

I've been carrying the excellent Rovyvon Aurora A28 recently. It has a nice, stiff clip so its pretty secure in the pocket.  I attached an O-right for easy grabbing.  It has 4 levels of output, plus 2x floody LEDs on the side of the light, and a UV light.

These Rovyvon lights have a proprietary replaceable battery pack that includes the circuit board?

Title: Re: What light did you carry today?
Post by: Aloha on November 04, 2022, 05:38:05 PM
Built-in LiPo battery is rated at 330 mAh and yes I'm assuming its connected to the circuit board. The 3rd Generation Auroras converted over to USB-C charging which has me very tempted to get the newer generation.

edit, theres also a magnetic tail on the G3 which is another plus for me.

Here is an example of the replacement unit for the A29: https://www.batteryjunction.com/rovyvon-ra20-replacement-batt-a23.html

I'm very much against proprietary parts like this in any equipment I use.  I'll except in in disposable items to a degree, but not something I plan to use for many years.

It's a compromise, by moving away from standard batteries it enables different designs and form factors. This isn't to everyone's tastes, but does serve a purpose.

 :tu:.  I don't imagine battery life expectancy to be terribly short ( whatever that means ).  I fully understand what you're saying tho.  Rough look at equivalent batteries, they are rated at 500 charge cycles.  Once they get to 80% tho they are said to be at their end lifespan.  Considering heavy usage of charging 2-3 times a week which for me is not anywhere near my usage its hard to know exactly how long it'll last.  My guess is 3-5 years to get the battery to 80%  :dunno:.  Again just a total random guess. 

Again I fully understand what you're saying and tend to agree but this light is pretty great.  When it dies maybe I can replace battery/PCB? 

Appreciate your thoughts and comments.

Yeah, I understand that.  The options are interesting and useful and breaking away from the normal designs are possibly the only real way to achieve them.

I'm just getting old and cranky about the disposable society we live in.  :D  I'm old school I guess and still carrying around P60 hosts because I like modularity, dependability and the ability to actually fix them, upgrade them and keep them going.

I can understand that, I don't like disposable things that aren't recyclable/compostable, like wooden cutlery, paper plates etc.

However, I also don't think stuff like this is 'disposable,' I have the original Olight i1R on my keys, I prefer the size to the later iterations. That has a built-in battery that obviously will degrade until it's non-viable. However, I got and have been using that since January 2019, almost 4 years later it's still running just fine. At this rate, I expect I'll easily clear 5 years with it, at which point if it were to become non-viable I wouldn't call that 'disposible.' I guess the difference in my mind is whether something is being 'discarded' because something new is wanted (iPhone culture is a good example of this), because it isn't performing at 100%, or because it's just simply not viable.

If you used something until it didn't work anymore, and I mean used not abused, then it wasn't 'disposible' in my view.

I dont know if its regular item stocked  :dunno:. 

On/off would suffice.  I was pretty well set with my Zebralight SC52 L2 till I picked up an Olight S1R when they came out.  I've always been intrigued by the Tiki and such so when Rovyvon came out with the Auroa with RED Aux LEDs I snapped it up.  Its been on my keychain since and has really proved itself.  Its more of a back up light. 

I also have an early TOOL AA.  Great light.  I like both it and the ZL for their ability to use whatever cell I have handy, Eneloops are my go to but I also have 14500s for extra punch.  The Olight sits at my bedside these days.  Now to complicate my answer even further, I really love gadget-y so Anduril was on my radar for a long time.  I was generously gifted a D4V2 that I LOOOOOOOOOVE.  Talk about fun.  Necessary? I'd say so since al my light bases are totally covered and whats wrong with a little fun?

I've got a handful of AAA lights as well and one in particular I have 2Xs, Fenix LD02.  Brilliant light. 

Again I can't argue with your logic with proprietary cells in particular the one we are discussing  :salute:. 

I'll say that since my "bases" are well covered it is super fun to have a play with new gadgets.  YMMV as well as others milage.  On/Off is all that is needed but I do enjoy the fun.  Did I tell you about my D4V2 with aux LEDs? 

I cannot begin to be thankful enough to Sos  :hatsoff:.  On Halloween I used lightening mode in my window and it was such a blast.  My dear Sir, you'll get no push back from me when your right you're right.  My other lights do what they need and some go a bit further with options.  That's all fine and dandy.  My Aurora with flashing red LED recently was used as I changed a flat on the side of the road.  Whether it helped or my cars flashers helped or the fact I was well off the road or where I positioned myself or that I can change a tire in no time flat it was another level in my mind of safety. 

I do love my Eneloops and I do love a light that can take multiple cell chemistries.

That's just semantics to me.  I use a Sharpie marker (not abused) until it doesn't work anymore.  It's a disposable item.  You use it until you have no other choice than to dispose of it.

I have LED flashlights that are nearly 20 years old and I still use.  I can still buy cells for them and they still perform the task they were designed for perfectly fine.  Nothing has made them truly obsolete, so I don't have to dispose of them.  I can buy replacement parts for them. In many cases, I can buy parts to upgrade them to current technology, with more efficient drivers and emitters.

When you get to the point where your battery has degraded until the runtime is no longer useful for the tasks you ask of it and you can't buy a replacement cell to run your otherwise perfectly good flashlight on...well, I guess another way to put it is "engineered obsolescence".  Tools should not be designed that way, in my opinion.

It is nice there is a battery replacement option for the one in the video I linked.  I agree it will be a shame when the battery degrades and there is no other option to keep it going. We'll see just how long the A5 I have will last.  In the mean time its a really good light.

I'm a bigger fan of AA/AAA lights and more so ones that can take their lithium equivalents.  I did dip my toe into the 18650 pond and wow.  There's a lot of fun to be had.  Not sure I'll fully submerge since its more practical to say in the shallow end for my purposes. 

Time change tomorrow so I'll typically carry my keychain light, AAA light, and light saber.

Clearly we disagree, and I'm going to highlight that by pointing out what you just mentioned is essentially Trigger's broom, or for international members, the ship of Theseus.

If you replace the emitter and the driver in a flashlight, then all that remains is the hollow tube. That is not a testament to 'repairability,' that's you building a new flashlight in the corpse of the old one. It's a testament to your desire to recycle and your love for a certain form factor, but if your argument goes down this route, you may as start talking about disassembling lights and replacing cells that were never intended for that, who cares about the intended design when you're just going to use the shell how you see fit, right?

You may want to re-read what I said. I didn't refer to updating the driver or emitter as repair-ability, I referred to it as upgrading.

Quote from: NutSAK

Please don't put words in my mouth.  Repairing would be disassembling or replacing a switch, a lens, or off-the shelf orings.  I was pointing out that, along with repairing, upgrading is another thing you can't do with that Rovyvon.

Your diatribe after misinterpreting my comments does make me curious however; do you consider replacing an engine in an automobile repairing it, or building a whole new automobile in the corpse of the old one?

The first statement in bold and the last statement in bold are what I took issue with. You focused on the word repairability, I'm focused on it not being the same light for 20 years.

Note: saying that you do still have some that are 20 years old and still use stock doesn't invalidate this.

Like how you could use the same PC case, but replace every internal component. It wouldn't be the same PC, it would be a different PC in the same case.

But whatever, you prefer a certain approach, I prefer a mix. c'est la vie.

I'm merely pointing out things that I can do with my flashlights that you will not be able to do with a Rovyvon for 20 years.   Use them, replace the cells, repair them, and upgrade them. 

How you thought all of my comments were about repair is beyond me.  I also never said that those 20 year-old lights I still use had been upgraded.  I only said that in many cases that is an option. 

Either way, I will end the discussion to avoid further misinterpretation of my statements that may lead to argument.

I’m pretty much rolling with the PD40R V2 daily, and probably will continue to do so until something comparably sized comes out that soundly beats it in brightness, run time, or both.

Yes, it’s a bit on the large and heavy side for an EDC light.  But it’s stunningly bright on the high end, while on the lower end it can easily go all night long, or last a full week of camping if used somewhat judiciously.

Been away from this part of MTO too long.

I also have a TOOL AAA and love it so much. Sits in my Skinth until I need it. More of a back up role which is a shame as it’s modified and very bright.

Still dark in the morning while I do my pre trip so this old soldier has been putting in some work. Sunwayman V11R. Best variable light in the game imo. Just works.

Running a 14500 with the extender since there was an extra one laying around. Give the light a little extra brightness and can use Eneloops or regular AAs in a pinch. Actually like it being a little longer so there is more to grip when using the brightness wheel.

Carrying Led Lenser P3 around house on nights now with our newborn as I need some light throughout the night. This is my second one as I lost one a few years ago. I have few other lights as well but this has been my weapon of choice for 8 years, mostly in autumn and winter when it's darker. In summer and late spring there is usually no need for a flashlight for me as phone light is usually adequate. I like the small size and one handed operating of beam/flood(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230812/29f5ab623e69eada694792cd42009eb6.jpg)

The Rovyvon is an extraordinary thing. Makes me cry actually as it blows my EO1 into the weeds!!

For a good while now, my EDC light has been the Olight Arkfeld with a white light, UV and a truly powerful laser.  Love the magnetic charger too.
