Just thought we could do with a flashlight collection and picture thread. So here's my collection so far...
First up is my most recent addition to my collection, the Surefire 3P. I am really liking this light and have been EDCing it since it arrived. I like the fact it's an incan and the push on tail cap is real handy.

(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t41/benniehunts/IMG_0392.jpg)
Next up are my Minimags, the AA and the AAA. These were given to me by Calvin in the camera competition. Cheers buddy. :)

(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t41/benniehunts/IMG_0399.jpg)
Next is my Fenix P1D-CE fitted with the Q5. This is a great light and I have EDC'd this for a few months. Currently though, this has been replaced by my 3P.
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t41/benniehunts/IMG_0394.jpg)
Here is the Streamlight Sidewinder. This light is great and is the second flashlight that I EDC. It has not left me since I bought it and it is used many times a day.

(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t41/benniehunts/IMG_0374.jpg)
Next up is my Princeton Tec Tec-40 that I have upgraded with a mag xenon bulb. This is a great light at a great price and is very bright.

(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t41/benniehunts/IMG_0228.jpg)
Lastly is my Electrolumens Blaster III. I love this flashlight. It just looks and feels solid and is real bright too.

(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t41/benniehunts/IMG_0214.jpg)
And here they are all together.

That 3P sure looks at home there! :D
Don't look now but I think some dirty bum's been drawing on your wrist! :D
Are those stock bulbs in the Mags or LED upgrades?

The 3P sure is at home here. :) It's already been allocated it's own trouser pocket. :D
Damn bums! :twak: I must really take some more pics of my tattoos before Mike tells me off. :ahhh
The Maglite are still standard. I would like to upgrade the AA to an LED at some point though.
Oh BTW, I apologise about the different sized pictures. They haven't all been taken at the same time and I had resized some smaller than I had liked. :D
-
The different sized pics don't bother me any!
Is that a SureFire in your pocket or are you just enjoying the site? :P

My 3 Maglights ( a 4C, 2D, and AA ) all stay in my toolbox at work and I don't have any pics handy. I gave away my fenix L1D to a good buddy and have no pics of that either. I wil try and snap a couple pictures of my mags though - they are pretty beat up and look sweet.
-
Ben, I'm disappointed that you aren't EDCing the Blaster. What gives? You said you really liked it.

That is just about my favorite light!

It is a great light! It's just so useful having the low and then the turbo (not so bothered about the levels inbetween but they have come in handy) I don't think i actually need any of my other torches now i have that, but its handy to be able to stash a couple in various places so i know i'll have a light source when i need one.
-
What do you feed the L2D?
I like the light a lot but have put off buying it because it seems to need Li-Ion or NiMH to function at it's peak.

A mixture of carrots and oats....... at the moment its got 2000mAh NiMHs in it but i put them in about a week after i got it (about 2months now) and i've not noticed any drop in output yet, and its used fairly regularly. Usually on low or medium with short bursts of turbo. It did have alkalines at the start and it worked fine with a lot of use for that first week, but i then found my NiMHs and just put them in.

97 cents plastic light from walmart and $1 "super heavy duty" batteries from dollar store. :D

Big ol mag 3D, with magled module that I modded with a seoul P4. at least 120 lumen out front on startup, over 60 for 23 hours or so, then many many more hours at 20ish.

That's all the photos I have right now on my computer.

I use Eneloops in mine.
The L2D has great regulation for alkalines, but you have to stay away from using "turbo" mode. Alkalines just can't supply the amount of current required without dying a quick death. This is not the fault of the flashlight, but the batteries themselves. I can't think of any flashlight that can produce 120 lumens for a long period of time on 2AA Alkalines though, can you?
-
jzmtl,
How is the thermal management with the Seoul-modded MagLED module? Does the thermal management circuit kick in quicker or slower than with the Luxeon, or about the same?
-
Just eyeballing it feels about the same to me. But unless you have two mags compare side to side the diminish in output is hard to notice, either luxeon or ssc.
Oh the only reason I did it is because I already have the mag module. If anyone wants to buy one, you can get the terralux version for about the same price, but better heatsinking, and some already have seoul installed (newer ones switched back to luxeon K2).

Not a collection but something : :)

No name metal cased LED torch from my father's company as a present.
It looks slippy but the grip on this is not bad.
I think it can be used for self defence purposes as a kubaton.
It's pretty bright and tough,alltogether im happy with it. :D
-
It does look like a pretty stout light. Thanks for sharing the pics.
It's nice to see this old thread again. I need to update my collection pics. It's changed considerably since the pics I posted two years ago.
-
Thanks,and get some piccies up of yours fast :D :cheers: .

A light that looks better than it preforms unfortunately. For the few pounds it cost it's OK but I wouldn't rush out and buy another. Very purple Nichia LED, low build quality and cheap clicky. But it does make dark places a bit lighter. :D

My small pile of torches just got a touch bigger today thanks to Zack. A very decent AA light from Life Gear. I'm particularly liking the rubber grip that forms the middle. :tu:

What sorta stat's has it got mate :)
-
Nice shots Gareth! Crisp and Clear!
-
What sorta stat's has it got mate :)
I've looked it up and it claims 80 lumen and 10 hours run time. The consensus on CPF seems to be that it's not quite that bright and it's quite dim (10-15 lumen) after 10 hours but it will still be running. IMO it's more than bright enough for a pocket light and if it'll keep it's most of it's brightness for anything like that length of time I'll be happy. :)
It's got a reverse clicky, a very tight hot spot, a nice neutral/warm tint and the build quality is good. All in all I'm a very happy man.

Look's like a pukka torch then mate :tu:
Is it coming to the meet?

Nice Pics, nice light! Lummi rocks, as you say you have to have one in your had to understand. Rob makes great lights.
I had a play with his MIL prototype a while ago, CR123 anngle light with variable output/dimmer control via rotating the base. Can't wait for him to get that out on the market.

What are the spec's on that James? :)

I'll start with a pic of my Maglites. A Solitaire and a Mini Mag AA. I have a MiniMag AAA, too, but gave it to my dearest and he can't find it anymore :twak:
I don't use them anymore, but they are reliable and rugged lights and were good companions for years. Just a little bit outdated now with their inascendent lights... I can't believe I used them for years when I look at them. They look almost like new.

Wow, just discovered this thread, or had forgotten about it. Great stuff here, lets keep it
alive! I've got this one coming and am pretty pumped as I see some of you have it.
There is a real cult following on this light on CPF, check out these two links, belowthat
is my light.

This Peak LED Solutions #8 Eiger in stainless steel replaces a Peak 3-LED SS Matterhorn as my watch pocket light. The Eiger is considerably brighter, whiter, and casts a much wider hot spot through its optic than the narrow 3-LED Matterhorn. Both lights are built crazy tough.

My E10 side by side with my LD10

I don't think the E10 ever did get released here, did it? What do you think of it Teofilo?

I don't think the E10 ever did get released here, did it? What do you think of it Teofilo?
I've read in some light forums that the E10 is not available in some countries in the Americas and Europe. Whatever Fenix's reason was, too bad they certainly lost a big quantity of people who loves simplicity. ;)
I have two words to describe the E10: simple and solid. Simple in a way that, it has only one mode, a pushbutton tailcap and uses an old emitter, the Luxeon Rebel, no match for the Crees :D. The body's as thick as the other Fenix's products but not too sure if it has the Type III HA.
I noticed that it can't tail stand and light adapters don't fit, and also has no pouch for edc. But at 23-25 USD,not bad compared to the LDs and PDs line.
-
The Luxeon Rebel can't match a Cree, but it's no slouch. It's maybe 5% dimmer than a current XP-G.
The thing that's nice about the Rebel is the tint! The tint of the Rebel falls somewhere between the "cool white" Crees and the "neutral" Crees. I like to describe it as a "vanilla" white.
It is a shame about the E10 not going to all markets. I think we the availability of simpler, durable lights like this.
Thanks for sharing Teofilo!

My now fully-modded-out Techlite Lumen Master. The build quality on these flashlights is actually quite good, but the electronics are... difficult, to say the last. They also (stock) used a battery holder with 3AAAs.
Anyways, found a tub of the things at a local discount store, got two of them for $5 each as well as one of those $2 9-led specials. Turns out there are 4 different versions of the Techlite, one that uses an XR-E, one that uses a XP-E, and two versions that use an XP-C emitter. Anyways, I ripped out the tailcap switch and tailcap from one with an XP-C emitter, and modded the switch from the cheap 9-led special in to it. I also modified the existing smart clicky from the one with the XP-C emitter, removing a large spacer and making a spacer out of some high melting point plastic and using of the springs from the battery holder to make a low profile spring for the tailcap. I also did the same thing (spacer + spring from battery compartment) for the positive connection terminal as well, and made a battery spacer out of a tape-wrapped cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels. After having done all this I gained about 7MM of space in the battery tube, *just* enough to fit an 18650 battery inside without fear of crushing it.
Practical upshot, for ~$13 I got a 160 lumen, XP-E 18650 flashlight with a choice of either a single mode-reverse clicky flashlight, or a 3-mode (50%/100%/strobe) with a momentary tactical override. Changing the two is as easy as unscrewing and replacing the tailcaps. Since I think the "smart" tailcap has a vampiric drain issue, I keep the single mode clicky installed for emergency use, but it takes 3 seconds to switch them over if I'm taking the light out somewhere.
Oh, and six new Duracell AAAs as well.
(http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r181/jekostas/Techlite.jpg)
I never do things the easy way, if that weren't obvious already.
-
I just saw these at Costco. $20 for a 3 pack (XP-E model).
Cool.

Cool.
If you can definitely get the XP-E model, it's worthwhile to get - the tailcap is quite easy to mod so you can fit an 18650 in to as well.

I picked up these two today. Both power up by AA batteries. The Lumapower I
got with the optional Teleforce head as well. Also had a very nice visit with
"Gunga" whom I received the Lumapower package from. Thanks Mike. :)

He he he...
Take a walk, let me know how you like it!

I took a hike with the Teleforce head and that has some good throw to it
doesn't it? Crank it up to 200 Lumen and it worked great! It's a pretty deep
reflector!

Let us know what you think of the E20 mate :tu:

Thanks Mike, tonite I will be taking it out for a first jaunt, I'll let you
know in a few weeks. :tu:

Cheer's for that, as I reckon it'd make a decent cycle light :cheers:
-
Yes, that it might. It's bright, light, and of slim profile. I'm sure would be very
easy to clip onto a bike somewhere and being an on, off, one stage clicky it's sure
not to be fiddly when you need it most. :)
-

Therein lies the problem with my LD10, it's really hard to operate the switch while wearing winter gloves while your cycling :-\
-
I was looking at one of those yesterday in shop. Nice little edc with good lumen
that one you have. :tu:
I'm pretty much sold on now going forward with mosty AA powered lights. I'm really
finding I'm not getting much more than expense, and lower runtimes with the cr/rcr123
setups.
-
I think AA is the way to go too, as they just work out much cheaper to run compared to Cr123's, especially over on these shores.
-
Just bought a couple more Fenix lights. Love the E20 btw. Couldn't believe the throw
it has. Here are the new one's I'm awaiting, both powered by AA.

Now for the next couple of nights I'm going to spend some time with the Vantage
I received from Gunga. It came with a Teleforce deep reflector head and took it
out the one night and it really throws that beam out! It has a quality feel to it
and also is powered by AA batteries.

Wicked looking head as well. Kinda reminds me a bit of a SF 6P Defender.

Yeah, the clip is pretty good. :tu: As for the run times, here is the spec for the drop-in: http://www.solarforce-sales.com/product_detail.php?t=RB&s=28&id=34 (http://www.solarforce-sales.com/product_detail.php?t=RB&s=28&id=34)
So 1.5 hours at maximum. No idea how accurate this is as I've not done any tests myself.
-

It's certainly 'sharp', a bit of a pocket shredder I suspect. :-\
-
I've got to order a few drop-ins to replace the poor 60L's some of my surefire's
came with. I need an hours run time on rechargeables though so I have to watch
the Lumens.
-
I realised I hadn't got any decent shots of my iTP SA2. I'm really happy with this light, plenty bright enough, mode memory, both pre-set and ramping light levels, optional tail switches, the list goes on. The only thing that I can see that folks might not like is the separate switches, the tail switch is simply on/off, the head switch sets the mode.

I'm not a fan of the short days and cold weather but, I agree, the flashlights make it much more enjoyable. This time of year sure is hard on my wallet though, because I spend a lot of time on CPF researching all the goodies.

New, blingin' gold. I'll have a writeup of this light in a bit, the UI is... insanely complicated to say the least.

That's a nice collection. I still have an L1P, L2P and L2T (Q5) that I might never part with. I had a few Rebel L2Ts that I probably should have kept...
Do you have a favorite?
-
Terry,
I've only had a chance to carry around the E20 and the LD25. I'm really enjoying both
these lights. I'd never owned a Fenix before the e20 and quite like the simplicity, tint
and throw it has given it's price point. The LD25 is a very nice light as well, good spill
and I really like the simple interface the Fenix line seems to have. It's the one small
feature that keeps me from enjoying my 4sevens AA2, having to cycle through those
blasted beacon, and strobe modes, to grab the level of light I need on the fly.
-
Yeah, I wouldn't be able to do a regular Quark either. You should try a tactical--it's simpler even than the Fenix UI. I prefer the Quarks to Fenix because they tend to offer a lower low, and work with a wider range of input voltages.

Nice collection of executive looking lights for the most part! :tu:
Picked up a TK15 whilst in the city yesterday. It gobbled up my tenergy
rcr's in about 18 min on high though. I'm going to have to grab some
decent 18650 cels and charge for this one I think.

My current Peak collection:

Impressive. Those shiny Peak lights are not only good looking, but functional and well constructed in USA. But, you knew that already. ;)
-
You bet.
Actually, I was at first amused by Sean's comment about them being "executive", but I certainly can understand that viewpoint. They're beautiful lights, but you can't realize that they are a "form follows function" type of light until you've held and used one. They're not really designed as a thing of beauty, but more for durability and simple operation. It just so happens that the design philosophy translates to a sort of art, especially in stainless and brass.

Though I recommend AW brand Li-Ion batteries if you can afford them, these (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20392) do well in the tests I've seen.
I also highly recommend the Pila IBC charger (http://www.flashlightz.com/product.php?product=171829), but the Ultrafire WF-139 (http://www.lighthound.com/Ultrafire-WF-139-Charger-for-14500-17500-18500-18650-RCR123-37-volt-Lithium-Battery-Charger_p_2279.html) is OK on a budget. For safety and performance reasons, I suggest you invest in a good charger.
-
Terry,
Thanks for the info. I guess investing in a good charger would mean bypassing the
ultrafire and getting the pila? It looks like I'm going to have to order my batteries
online as the only available ones locally are "Ultrafire" and apparently they are not
all that highly regarded? If I go with something online I will probably go with pila
and 2900 ma AW's.

The Ultrafire is an OK choice, but the Pila will take better care of your cells, as it uses the proper charging algorithm for Li-Ion cells. If you only plan to charge one cell at a time, another excellent choice would be to by a hobby charger. I use this (http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=7028) one exclusively. The benefit to a hobby charger like this is that it can charge most battery chemistries (Li-Ion, NiMH, NiCD, Pb) and has options such as discharge, storage charge, cell balancing, fast charging, in addition to using the proper algorithms and selectable currents for regular charging. Keep in mind that most hobby chargers are designed to run off a 12V source, so you will need to purchase a power supply such as this (http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=12+volt+power+supply+LCD+monitor&_sacat=0&_odkw=12+volt+LCD+monitor&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313) one to run it off AC. PM me for details if this interests you.
The AWs are the best cells you can get IMO, but, I'm not sure I would pay the extra premium for the 2900's. I use the 2200's, and they give me plenty of runtime at a more affordable price point.
-
Terry, thanks for all the information. I'll consider the different charging systems for
this type of battery. What I need in a "battery" is for it to power the 335 Lumen Fenix
for at least an hour.

Do you know what cell Fenix bases the 1.9 hour runtime on, and how accurate that runtime is? If it's based on 2xCR123, you should be good with a 2200mAh 18650 cell. A 2200mAh 18650 has about 87% of the VA capacity of 2xCR123, so it should give you about 87% (rough estimate) of the runtime. Even if the runtime is based on a 2900mAh cell, you're still at 75% of that capacity with a 2200mAh cell.
...actually, that's why I wouldn't buy the 2900mAh when I can get 75% of the capacity for 50% of the price in the 2200mAh cell. The 2900mAh is a fantastic cell though, if it's within your budget, and will definitely give you great runtimes in the TK15.
VA:
2xCR123: 2 x 3.0V x 1550mAh = 9.3VA
18650 (2200mAh): 3.7V X 2200mAh = 8.14VA
18650 (2600mAh): 3.7V x 2600mAh = 9.62VA
18650 (2900mAh): 3.7V x 2900mAh = 10.73VA
-
Good info, thanks again Terry. They base their times on primary cr123's. I was using
rcr123's and of course I always take a hit on runtime with those as with primaries are
around 1300 ma, and the rcr's, around 600 ma or so.
I did line up a WF-139 and two Trustfire batts for $25 so we'll give it a whirl and see
how we do.

I stopped using RCR123 some time ago. They're really disappointing in capacity, even when buying good brands. I have a pair of AW's that i purchased one year ago that have a tested capacity of about 530mAH each. 2 x 3.7V x 530 = 3.92 VA. NOT GOOD.
Anyone want a free pair of AW RCR123 cells?

The price of new Li-Ions vs. used is relative, I guess, since they have a shelf life and generally don't live long in hot laptops. The Shekor charger looks pretty good since it has CC/CV, but how much capacity is left in those 18650s? Free is free, but If they're down to near 1/2 capacity, they're not worth the bother of scavenging, IMO.
I've pulled plenty of 18650s from laptop packs, but I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone on a forum due to the risks involved. I would rather suggest they buy some decent $5 protected cells, especially since most laptop cells are unprotected.

These are protected cells. I was measuring out the voltage after a week of storage post-charge as 4.1V lowest to 4.13V highest, so capacity isn't bad. As it is, I have only one (extremely cheap) 18650 so it made little sense to drop a lot on good batteries and a charger. If I decide it's a route I want to take, I'll invest more in the future.,

Vladimir, nice flashlights. :tu: How do you like them? Do what you need 'em too?
I just picked up my WF-139 charger and 18650 batteries so anxious to see the
runtime on the TK-15 on high tonight after work.

Vladimir, nice flashlights. :tu: How do you like them? Do what you need 'em too?
I used them in my edc rotation.
Beside this flashlights, I also use Streamlight Nano, Photon Micro II and Petzl Tikka 2.
I received Fenix E05 yesterday and I'm extremly satisfied with the quality and performance.
-
Sounds like your well set there for awhile. I'm enjoying the Fenix brand of late as well.
Nice tint, and fairly inexpensive compared to what I'd been buying recently.
-
Yup, I'm pretty much all set now, my slightly modded Surefire 6P and Fenix E05 will probably be most frequent as my edc.
I just ordered some AAA Eneloop's for E01 and E05, so I'm good for now.

Nice lights mate 8)

Yeah, that's a nice set. Welcome to MTO!

Yes nice Olight. Pretty good thrower I imagine?

Just a little toy while I'm waiting for my Quark Mini to show in the mail. Nexxtech torch, you may remember Nexxtech as the "house" brand of Circuit City. Circuit City still (sort of) exists in Canada as the owners of Radio Shack licensed the name after they lost the Radio Shack brand. Cheap as borscht, $10, which was essentially the little bit I had left on a mall gift card my sisters gave me.
Nice surprise though, Luxeon Rebel emitter in neutral white, about 80 lumens OTF. On 2x LSD NiMHs (that I'm not sure were fully charged) it lasted about 6 hours until the light died with pretty constant output. Quite a nice little toy to hold me over until the 4Sevens shows up.

(http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r181/jekostas/Nexxtech2.jpg)
Apparently a re-branded Nuwai/Favourlight, which wouldn't surprise me.
-
And this one was a stocking stuffer from the wife, a Sipik Sk68. This is a flood-to-throw type light using a collimating lens and a body that was rather obviously "inspired" by the Nitecore Extreme.
The emitter is a nice neutral tint Cree XR-E in either a Q3 or Q5 bin, don't know which one she got, though about 75-80 lumens OTF. Apparently it's quite a pocket rocket on a 14500, but I haven't had a chance to test that out yet.

A couple of good looking lights there jekostas. I do like being pleasantly surprised for little outlay. :)
-
Cool little lights there. I gifted a Dorcy 2AA light to a relative this Christmas that looked
very much like that nexxtech, right down to that strange looking LED in it? It was also
rated at 80 lumen so my guess is rebranded Dorcy? :)

You're right - I just dug through the Dorcy site and found the light. Seems I got it at about 35% of MSRP, not bad then.

Nice L1. Took mine out the other night on the Dike and was amazed at how far it
throws. Not an awful lot of spill but throw is another thing. :)

Thanks. The L1 is not an EDC light for me--it's a bit to large and throwy, sort of like a mini search light. I need to get an F04 beamshaper for it, and I think then I'll actually use it more. I have to say that the optic Surefire is using on these certainly beats the old one. It has much more spill and a nice round spot, vs. the old square one.
If anyone is considering a Surefire, you should take a look around at the L1. It's being replaced by a new model this year, and some great deals can be found on the remaining stock. I've seen them going for around the $65 mark on fleabay, brand new.

An old fashioned light perhaps, but the huge run time means it's still got it's place in the market IMO. Good old Gerber Infinity Ultra.

I've heard quite a bit on the Gerber Infinity, I'll have to look it up and see what
it has going for it. :)
I've been working on some diffusers for my lights, and last night with the 2 hour
power outage, I was glad to have a few of them ready to go. If you've never
tried this type of diffuser, you might be surprised at how well they work. My GF
works in Pharmacy, so she grabbed me a bag of old pill bottles and such. All you
need to do is find the circumference close to your light head, you might need to sand
it a bit to fit, soak off the labels, push on and your ready to go. Even if your light
doesn't candle stand as some of mine won't I just put in a drinking glass and your
set. :)

A 2D maglite I'm building. Three SSC P4 LEDs running at 800mA each on high. 6AA Eneloop welded battery pack, spot optic.

Nice looking mod :tu:
:pok: There will be beam shots won't there :)
-
...am I really the only one who would be interested to see how that charging socket is done? :o
-
No. I have some very small circuits that will properly charge Li-Ion cells in a setup like this, but I'm very interested in how this NiMH charging circuit works.
-
Lovely work :tu:
What kind of output are you expecting from it?
-
:ahhh WOW guys and girls, it's only a maglite!
The socket is easy really. Two wires on the inside wired to the battery pack. Plug in charger when battery pack is flat, red light.....hours later green light, and away we go. :cheers:
But.......I became concerned that the socket is always conected to the battery pack. If a metal object were to short between the centre pin and the outside case it would cause a problem.
So today I fitted a diode on the inside that should stop the voltage in one direction but still let the voltage pass in from the charger. It half works. Now I have no voltage in the centre pin, but when I conect the charger it won't work! Back to the drawing board, and reading a bit more about diodes. :think:
It's not all that powerful, about 500 lumens max (it has high/med/low), and it's all flood, smooth seemless flood, pure white.

So, the circuitry is all in the AC adapter then. What type of charge termination is that charger/AC adapter using?

Ok,

+1 on that!! Great stuff there. :salute:
-
So, the circuitry is all in the AC adapter then. What type of charge termination is that charger/AC adapter using?
The charger is like the type used for RC car battery packs. I've swapped the tamiya connection to a 5mm plug that goes into the socket in the tail cap. The diode was messing with the charger so I took it out. The charger is a "clever" charger, when turned on it has a way of telling how many cells are in the battery pack and sets the charge rate to suit. I think the diode introduced a little resistance that messed it up. Electronics is not my strong point.
:waving: Hello Powernoodle, like your lights.
-
Ah, hobby charger. That makes sense!
I would ditch the diode idea and just find a rubber plug or something that fits the hole in the charge socket. I'd say the possibility of getting a metal object far enough in there is pretty slim.
-
My first pictures of my lights. I dont monitor my run times ect... and the better lights are new to me so I dont think I can answer any questions about them. I can tell you that the big mags have one watt led in them, and the olight m31 is 800LUM. and much brighter than the others. The fenix and the lumapower I recieved from other members and they are both fantastic lights. They will get much use this year at our late night camp fires and my hunting adventures.

Here are some pics from my (modest) collection of led-lights ;).
The Led-Lenser P7 was a gift from my wife, and after being amazed by the quality and feel of this light I bought myself a Led-Lenser P3. The P3 is (mainly) for indoor use (and EDC), and when I go outdoors or on a hiking trip I will always bring along my P7.

That's a groovy looking light. :tu: Does it really put out anything like the 270 lumen it claims? That seems a heck of a lot for a single CR123.
-
I don't have instruments I could use to measure output, but factory claims 270... Though I believe they aren't OTF lumens... So count on that...

Ever since I took an astronomy course I've been a sucker for red lights.

Looking to add a DQG-II to my collection soon. There may be a small run of Makos again in the near future; if so I'll get one. I'll be picking up the new Fenix E15 around the 20th or so when it is first released; really liking the look of that one.

More things, both superficial and very important, have been repaired,mended and made right from the glow of a Mag Instrument flashlight. I'll show respect where it is due. That's a great looking flashlight there. I'll bet it serves you well. Cool looking light too.

My little collection, top -- 2D Maglite -- bottom from left to right -- Solitaire -- 100mW Green Laser -- MiniMag -- LED Lenser L7 115 Lumens -- Victorinox LED, the Solitaire I use when we go stargazing anything brighter and the guys with their telescopes will give you get that "what the hell is wrong with you" look,the MiniMag and 2D is the wife's camping flaslights the L7 is my camping flashlight and the Vic LED just stays in the draw and the green laser well that's just for fun,watching that green saber like light at night is mesmerising.

My LED mini-mag with added terraLUX switch and Maglite pocket clip. These may be comparatively low-tech by today's standards but I actually rather like it. :)
I`ve got one of those Gareth and really like it. I have not used it much lately as it`s been in the glove box of my car. That switch you put on there looks interesting. :tu: :)

a switch really makes it a decent light IMO. I did try it without a switch to start with but the twist to turn on, and then twist some more to focus was a bit of a PITA as far as I was concerned.
Worth noting that not all of the LED mini-maglites can take the after-market switches made, this review explains how to tell: http://www.led-resource.com/2010/01/maglite-led-flashlight-review-and-guide/ (http://www.led-resource.com/2010/01/maglite-led-flashlight-review-and-guide/)
From review:
one with the flat tail cap (old), and one with the lanyard tail cap (current), similar to the regular 2AA Mini Maglite. The lanyard tail cap is preferable to the flat tail cap due to increased reliability, as well as compatibility with regular Mini Maglite tail caps (making aftermarket accessories such as “clickie” switches usable).
in other words if you have the older version without the lanyard point then apparently it won't take the alternative switches.
-
My tally so far:-
(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc452/THXbob/102_0303.jpg)
Left to right, 2D Mag with TerraLUX LED upgrade, Surefire E2D LED Defender, LED Lenser P3, Mag Solitaire, iTP A3 EOS AAA Upgraded and Streamlight Nano.

Here are a couple of lights that I could scare up from nearby:
(http://www.users.on.net/~btstevens/images/lights.jpg)
From the left: Streamlight Stylus, Frankenlight Streamlight Stylus pro with Fenix LD01 head (Thanks Ringzero for the idea), Eagletac PN20a2 with Stylus Pro clip, Mini Maglite, Fenix L2D, Surefire LX2 Lumamax (newly aquired) , Unknown LED Lenser.
Missing is my 4Sevens PreonII Ti.
-
How do you like the Eagletac PN20a2? I remember looking at them on-line and they seemed like a good light.

I like it. Mine does have an issue where the switch very occasionally plays up a bit, and the pocket clip broke off on it's own just sitting on my desk (hence the stylus clip), but I like the UI (twist head to switch from low to high, forward clickie switch for on/off), and it has more of a spot beam on it than the PreonII. I've dropped it more times than I care to admit, which could be the reason for the dodgy switch.

Solarforce's own LC-1, R2-M, 3 mode. I am thinking that I should really get something super bright though. :D

What sort of output/runtime do you expect from that.

What sort of output/runtime do you expect from that.
rough guess, around 800lm, 1 and 3/4 hrs runtime.
I finished the torch and it's now with it's new owner. He should be getting some new batts soon and then I be waiting for feedback from him.
-
do you just buy all the bits to do the mod then sell them on or do a bit of machining to them as well?
-
No lathe required. Parts all from chaps on CPF. I had to hack the spring about a bit to get it right, and a bit of soldering required etc.
BTW I didn't sell it, it was gifted to someone on another forum.
-
Hi guys/girls
I'm green as a cabbage here, but have been around at CPF for a while.
Got me some good flashlights to show for it too :D
This, for instance: a Mac's Customs 3300L, running on 2x 32650's. The only one known to exist with 3000K 90-CRI emitters.

So many nice torchs! I like then very much. I will show one of my torch too, it's name Swordfish MO 5, and it can work well and never sink even in the sea of 500 metres depth!
It's heavy because it's make by solid material.So it have thick and strong body.
Q5 and 4ah battery, with energy detecting, too.

Well I have the first day of carrying my Fenix E01 on my Key Chain and I have to say I am very pleased. It blows the Key Chain Maglite out of the water. Best Key Chain light I have had. Time will tell if I feel the same in months, but I think I am going to really like this one.

:ahhh
I had some downtime yesterday, so I decided to see how many flashlights I have; here's a tentative list:
1x 4Sevens Quark AA R5
1x Fenix L2D CE
1x Fenix LD20+
5x (I think) Fenix E01
13x Gerber Infinity Ultra-M
2x Gerber Infinity Ultra
4x Inova/Victorinox 2-AA flashlights (with reverse-insertion batteries; who the hell designed that? o.O)
1x Maratac/iTP AAA
1x Photon II
-x DX fauxtons (I didn't bother to count them; I have somewhere between three and ten, though)
1x Energizer headlamp
I believe that's all. :think:
-
13 Infinity's? :o Are you a huge fan or did you just get a job lot? :D
-
13 Infinity's? :o Are you a huge fan or did you just get a job lot? :D

13 :ahhh That's unlucky
You need to buy another one or send one to me >:D
I think I will have to round all mine up one day and take a picture :)

I knew the upgraded "M" version was discontinued, and I knew $10/each was a good price. Given their battery-eater status, I wanted a good "I-can-use-any-AA-battery" flashlight, plus spares, since you can't find them for a decent price anymore.

You can use any AAA battery in them too. Without an adapter, without aligning it, just throw in an AAA and screw tight. It works. :tu: Oh, btw. thanks for the 14th. If I'd have known I'm leaving you with 13 of them I'd have taken two. >:D

I dunno; each of those boxes holds a Gerber Infinity Ultra-M with white LED (wish I had one or two red LED models); in addition to the one resting on top, I have two regular Infinity Ultras, too. My only Gerber at the moment is the FLiK, though I don't know if I'll keep it or not at the moment.
This doesn't show my couple Fenix E01s, L2D CE, LD20+, Maratac AAA, or Victorinox/Inova lights.

QUESTION:
The top part with the lens, that you turn to switch the light on, is a different shade of blue than the rest of the light. Is that normal?

Conservatively I put it at 2500 lumens, as it takes a huge output hit due to the High CRI emitters. If you get one with the 1550mA boards and R5 XP-G's it'll go clear over 4000 lumens.

...my 2nd "fancy" light arrived.
It is bigger than I expected.
QUESTION: Will the lens get scratched? Does it need a pouch/sheath?

Very nice mate. :tu: While I don't have any experience with that particular Jetbeam, I can say none of the lights I keep clipped to a pocket have gotten scratched up, including my Jetbeam PRO-1. It very much depends on how you treat it I guess.
-
I was thinking of leaving it in a car, where it will be shaken about a bit. I found a large sheath to use.
It is advertised as having scratch resistant glass lens, but that could mean anything.
It has a very nice, uniform spread of the beam in both settings, by the way.

Ooooo Ducksucks Tofty ! I had a play with one just like that a little while ago on a pass around. Cracking torch, fantastic quality, built like a tank!
You're turning into a right Jamie ( as in "and the magic torch"?)
-
I'm hearing alot about this program, i really must check it out.
The alpha is a beautiful thing and it's arrived just in time for camping trials.
Annoyingly the ultrafire is still my brightest torch at the moment. The alpha i got doesn't use the very brightest emitter offered and the ultrafire gets very hot very fast but i had expected a different outcome.
The lumen hunt continues....
-
Lumens aren't everything :) (says the guy with 4 3000+ lumens lights)
The Alpha clearly had been designed with reliability in mind. Chasing extreme outputs will usually result in more failures - which is win/win for manufacturers as bigger numbers sell more lights, and more breakdowns mean more replacement sales. When you're out camping and the ultrafire fails after dropping it on the grass, but the Alpha is still working after dropping it it a river, I'm sure lumens will cease to matter :)
I'd love an Alpha, but something keeps stopping me from buying it. I can't put my finger on the reason why. I keep filling out the order form, and stopping before I press the go button.
As for your ultrafire: getting hot isn't necessarily a bad thing, it means the heat is escaping the emitter and not frying it. You only have to worry if the whole thing gets too hot to hold.

So those are my flashlights currently :D Nothing special, but I love them all as they're all related to people I love/&know ... :D I'm now waiting for a brand new Fenix E11 to arrive, hopefully, next week :)
-
Is that the LED mini-Maglite, or the original xenon bulb? Either way I suspect you'll be very pleasantly surprised at just how bright a modern light like the Fenix E11 is by comparison. :tu:
-
Those are the old Maglite models :D I can't find any of those sets for changing the bulb to an LED on our market, but I don't think I want to even... the old ones have their charm, too :D I have the Fenix e01 somewhere there in the middle, barely visible, and it's great, indeed- I can't wait till my e11 arrives :D:D
the LEDs are amazing, indeed. I bought the Fenix e01 about four months ago and I've been using it daily. Now with quite a used battery it's able to light the whole room, while if I put this same battery on the Maglite Solitaire it glows less than a cigarette in the dark, lol.

Making a Torch tailstand, so that you can use it as a candle for your romantic dinner... :P
There you go, feel free to use this system (used by me in the picture). Share this knowledge with your friends. :salute:
A thicker or longer roll can be used for bigger torches! Also you may use pink toilet paper for a more romantic setting.
Works surprisingly well, though you can also use a glass if you are worried about your torch setting fire to the toilet roll.

here's my trusty l0p-se. it's been de-anodized, the reflector - shaved and enlarged in order to fit an aspheric (it's only main purpose now is to hold the lens) and the led has been changed to a neutral cree (the original was a lux iii).
it was and still is my primary edc since 2006. :tu:
-
Nice to see something custom in use :tu:
How does one de-anodise lights then?

The UI button is not that bright, its caught the flash of the camera,its not a bad all rounder, tuff as old boots too,
Fenix TK15,

How does one de-anodise lights then?
with my l0p-se, i started the de-anodizing process with sandpaper. :twak:
a better method is to use lye/caustic soda. just dip the flashlight in lye, wait a few minutes/hours and the anodizing will come right off. ;)
this is what it looked like in its past 'life'.

Hmm... potentially easier than I thought. Thanks for the info :)
-
My H31 finally came in. I was surprised of the hotspot it generates but I love it. Much better tint than the ultrafire I carry at work now. Might have to do a shoot-out when the 14500's show up for the UF. The light off a AA is not disappointing though.
Stay multi my friends

BeerPlumber,
I purchased the H31 (cr123) and love the torch. It's amazing how useful it is. I didn't think I would like the pocket clip, but I do not mind it at all. I added a neo magnet and trit dot in the self-sealing rivet.

I have to say the pocket clip is fast becoming my favourite feature. It's so much faster and easier than putting it in the silicone holder. Where have these lights been all my life. I'll never hold a light in my teeth again. The strap is still good for extended periods of hands free light but for EDC the pocket clip is a must have. Don't get me started about the super fun fiddle factor of the UI. Clicky goodness mmmm...
Stay multi my friends
-
I love the ZL UI too - most innovative.
Sam Q - where did the little trit bead come from?
-
Nuphoria- The dot came from a Trijicon night sight for a small pistol. I grind the tiny bit of metal away to free the tritium vial and "recycle" it. It's the only legal way I know of obtaining trit in the states. Ironic really. I can walk into a shop that legally sells automatic weapons, of any caliber, but can't buy a micro dot of tritium. ??? ::)
BeerPlumber- the ZL H31 clip does not look very solid in pictures. But it is very solid and adjustable. I agree with you, it's a must for EDC. I like to twist the clip on the ZL body and use it on a ballcap brim for long term wear. Works great. The anodizing is really tuff too. :)
-
Crazy! I really don't understand the problem with tritium ::)
You did a great job of it :tu:

Since 9-11 tritium is a little harder to find. Plus the nuclear commission doesn't like the buying, selling, or trading of anything nuclear. I know for I asked the commission directly. They were nice about it though.

Anyone know of a decent pocket light, preferably a single 123a with a pocket clip, click switch on the end nothing fancy, just a on/off, with up around 180-200 lumens? Maybe a hr or more runtime.. No need for a fancy high$$ One that caught my eye is a TrustFire TR-803 Cree, 230 lumen led for just $12 only downfall is it doesn't have a clip, but it has a defensive bezel! JR

300 lumens output. Light is focusable. Has single click tailcap and can tailstand. Belt clip and runs on standard AA or 14500 lithium 3.7 (rechargeable) which I love because it is way more common then cr123a batteries.

LoL, i was looking at that one on Amazon, they even have that in a 400lm setup, the only thing that stopped me from that is that its that 14500? what ever that is, so i would have to buy a whole new setup of batteries, i mean if you can run just AA's off of it that would be fine but then you loose out on brightness, no? i have rechargeable AA's and 123a's for my lights so i dont have to keep buying new ones, id just would like to stay in that category, but if keep the same amount of light and output with just a AA that would pretty much fit it! although that lens kinda looks funny, lol JR
-
Not a light expert, but I don't think there is any way you're going to get anything like 300-400 Lumen from a single AA. TBH it's a tough call for a 14500 AFAIK and I'd always take a budget light's lumen claim with a grain of salt.

Thats why im asking around, cause i have no freaking clue, i have my one flashlight that has two-123a's and that hits only 215 lumens.. honestly if the single cell light would hit 100-125lm with good throw i would be happy! JR
-
100-140 lumen from a single AA is a realistic expectation I believe. I've been having a quick look on Dealextreme for a light that might suit you, but I've not actually found anything that I'd recommend. :-\

I was thinking Romisen as well, but really couldn't come up with one with all the specific features. Clip, 123's, single mode, tail switch, 180 or so lumen. :think:

If the one below had a better clip, a single click on/off, or hi/med/low, high being err, 180-200lm, and kept a run time of a hr off of a 123a battery it would pretty much hit the nail right on the head! providing the $ was under $20? JR

I think i found what ive been looking for, of course its cheep, but heres what it has..
its a rear clicky switch, 3mode hi,low,flash, has a tactical bezel, and of course a clip, not the best, but hey its cheap,, it clames to be 600lm, but we all know thats not even close. i read somewhere else 280, and 100% Brightness, 3.5hours; 50% Brightness, 6 hours; Flash,4.5Hours; Size(mm): 102(Length)*20(Body diameter)*20(Head diameter) even if its cut in half? 140lm for over 1 1/2hrs? that fits my boat, the only thing is, the battery. it will use AA's, but i dont know how bright its going to push since its also able to use 14500 3v? so does that cut the 140lm in half? any ideas?? let me know what you think,, JR

On a standard rechargeable you might get 140 Lumen out of it and somewhere around an hour for runtime. Before you think that sounds like it's not enough, that would actually make it a pretty good light that would be more than bright enough for most tasks.

That's right a standard 1.2V (most rechargeable cells are 1.2V rather than 1.5V) will give you something around the 100-140 Lumen output. The 14500 will give you 3.7V and a higher output but only in lights that are designed to use them otherwise the light will likely just go pop. :)

It says powered by either or, I aslo looked the led disk up and the rating of it says 3.75v max forward, and 5v max reverse, what ever that means.. JR

Sorry mate. As it happens I am actually curious about that light. What's the model and how are you finding it? I have to say I've never used a headlight with the battery pack on the back, is it comfortable? :)

erm....
It seems to be a well made little unit, the head band is about an inch wide and adjustable to fit so not comfort issues. If your wearing it for a long time then maybe the battery pack would dig in but i haven't noticed it. One on/off switch with a nice click as you turn it on seems to be good quality. The beam goes from floody to spot in an instant at a turn of the focus slider and you can vary light output from something like 2.7 lumens to 170 with the lever attached to the battery pack at the back though it does seem to make any difference in light levels after 2/3rds of a turn.
well it can light up my garden nicely!

It is very hard to say without knowing the LED used, the brand and model, driver etc.
Usually this type of keychain torches, with a reasonable LED, should give anything from 0.5 to I would say 10-20 Lumens, with pretty good battery life. (generally the lower the output the longer the batteries will last).
As I said, yours, if it is cheap, will probably be 1 to 5 Lumens...maybe..
Just guessing here, as I am sure with the light LED and driver torches of that size can give a lot more lumens..
-
@dks,
Thanks : ) It was a present from a friend, I can't say anything about it- there's no brand name or logo engraved or whatsoever. I think it's a little brighter than the Fenix e01, but with a much tighter beam and not much flood. I have absolutely no factual experience with flashlights, so I'm asking you, the experts :D :D
Yours is.... adorable...if that can be used for a flashlight... anyway, I'm so in love with small & black ones :D Definitely tell more about it when you've played with it for a while :D
@Nuphoria, wow, looks cool :tu:

Very cool. Just got one of these. Any chance of a post outlining your method?
-
Someone on EDCF asked me to do that.... haven't got round to it yet!
Basically, mask off the bit you want to fill with masking tape.
Mix 2-part epoxy and then add lots of glow power to saturate it so it's quite thick.
Push it firmly into the holes and let it set (up to 24 hrs depending on your epoxy).
Remove tape and sand down very gently with something fine.
I then coated it with clear varnish as it is a bit porous and would end up filthy.
-
I was told that sanding the GITD & epoxy type stuff will decrease the amount of glow? Something to do with breaking the surface of the particles that glow. Have you seen any effect like this due to sanding?
-
Nope, but then I did some very fine sanding and made sure the surface was left clean.

I thought it might look that way once I posted it, but the explanation is very simple. We have the same taste in flashlights. So I often go, "hey, I have one just like it" :D
Mag Solitaire - same red
Fenix E05 - Fenix E01 but same blue
Gerber IU - mine is black
ITP SA2 - (I knew it was a ITP starting with an "S" so I guessed) - my only double AA - 47 AA2
ITP A2 - mine is black
Trunite Ti - again black instaid of SS

The Ti is a great little light. I picked up a green one in the recent deal they had - was hoping for black but am trying to love it! :)
-
I used to prefer black stuff but recently I've started considering some more colour in general... That orange TruNite looks so cooooool, as well as the blue Fenixes (I remember Gareth's E05 and now enki's E01). I must definitely add another (a few) colourful E01s for my keychain addiction.. :D

I am still using my trusty Leatherman Monarch 300. I was looking for a backup the other day and I can't find one ANYwhere. No one is selling them anymore.
Do you guys know which light is most comparable to the Monarch 300? I want to buy a cost effective single AAA light, with a clicky(forward preferable but not necessary), and between 15 and 30 lumens. A Clip is necessary, and I would prefer a covered reflector. I don't care for the polished open reflectors of some torches.
-
First thing that pops into my mind is the LED Lenser P2. There are also lots of options over on Deal Extreme, no matter what they claim, none of them are particularly brighter than the Monarch 300, though the one's I have are all very much more 'spill' rather than the 'throw' you get on the 300.

I really love the look of that Splash Anodized Nitecore D10. Never got on with the D10 UI, but I'd love that light just the same.
Microstream AAA is a great light, right now in the US it's a real deal at Amazon. I wish they made a keychain version but managed to keep the clicky switch, I would give those as gifts.

That's because it really is a lot smaller. :D

Just got my Sunwayman C15A today. It is a 1 AA light. For some reason I thought it had a pocketclip, but turns out it doesn't. Huge bummer for me because I probably won't carry it now. :( Besides that i'm impressed. I have only had it for about 20 minutes thought so we will see. I do like how the lanyard attaches.

that's a good looking light Cap. :cheers: Maybe something like the P7 suspension clip might work for you?

I like that lanyard ring :)

Thanks Gareth. :tu:
The P7 wouldn't work for me as it would hang to low in my pocket. The reason is I have to carry the light clipped in my left pocket where I keep my cellphone. It must be high enough to clear from rubbing on my phone. The P7 or any suspension clip would not work for this. Any other ideas?

It is also a standard size camera thread hole. I will probably never use it for that, but nice to know. The Spike just looks badass and you can still use the lanyard with the spike installed. :tu:

I was checking out their site and I agree that the spike is pretty sweet. The camera attachment has me interested as well :think: as I would actually use something like that.
*edit- and 170 lumens isn't that harsh when lighting a subject during a production.

There is a high (170lm), Medium (30lm), and Low (3lm)
Plus Strobe and SOS.

@Capt that light is really killer looking. im not huge into lights but wow I love the way it looks and the spike is pretty bad arse.

Thanks! I am really liking it so far. Hopefully it performs flawlessly.
-
I just noticed something that kind of bugs me about the light. In the programming there is no way to go from off straight to medium or low. It does however remember the last mode you had it set in when you turn it off so if I have it on low and turn it off the next time I turn it on it will be in low. I really like the Zebralight programming better.
-
WOW, is this a normal, regular, average AA mini maglite ?! Because the AAA is .... really smaller, LOL! HM.
well, it's the AA Mini-Maglite LED and it has a slightly longer head than the original version, but basically yes. :D
Great, now I'm not a big fan of MagLite, but now this thing wants me to like it ... too bad for my wallet :D
-
Thanks guys. I've always thought so too. That's why I've hung onto it all these years. I really should carry it more. The light on my phone is what I normally use.
If you ever decide to retire it or find it a new home, send me a PM and maybe we can work something out. ;)

Great, now I want one. NOW. Gr. :D Can you .... confirm the specs are near to the stated ones ?! I mean... 260 lumens for 2 hours out of one AA... this is ... a lot in comparison to my favourite Fenix E11 which is... 115 lumens for less than 2hrs. And the price of this Sipik looks tempting...:D
-
Works 2 hours. LM? I don't know. Maybe ~150, perhaps less - it's zoom, so hard to say :P
-
I would think 260 lumen is possible from a 14500 (3.7V) cell but I don't think it is likely to be from a normal AA (1.2-1.5V). Maba's guesstimate of somewhere in the region of 120-150 lumen is much, much more plausible. ;)
-
Haha, yeah, indeed :D

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

I'm actually amazed at the amount of light this cheap thing gives *crazy* My favourite Fenix E11 is 4 times more expensive and the Sipik seems to drown it... bot in spill and brightness.

Here are my latest two lights;
(http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/gareth_SAKs/Torches/002_zps738230ce.jpg)
A discontinued Victorinox 2xAAA (from our own Dr Gonzo) and a Ultrafire z2. Both good lights in their own way. :tu:

Slap a 14500 in there. The Sipik goes nuts with 3.7V batteries.
Uh, don't look at the emitter, though. That wouldn't be good.

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

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

And honestly, the fault which I found with the Sipik was that it ate through batteries way too quickly in comparison to what I'm used to. But I still think it's a great flashlight for a great price. I just got that.. bug telling me to buy a LD12, didnt have the money and did a major... "cleaning around":D
-
That would be the LED and reflector "sticking out the side". :D The Ultafire z2 is a right-angled light like a lot of the Zebralights.

AHAAAAAAAAAAA, omg. I see now :)
I just got that.. bug telling me to buy a LD12...
And how do you like the LD12, now that you have it?
I like it a lot :) It has the features I look for in a flashlight: momentary on, clip, single AA. The lumens look much brighter than they are, at least to me, when I compare LD12 to E11. Some people on CPF report some flicker problem... I haven't noticed it though. Others complained about a "ring"-y beam... and I noticed that last night...It doesn't hinder me, it's ... it has that hotspot in the centre, then a broad beam area around that hotspot and then there's another... narrow ring-like thingie on the outside. But for me it was difficult to notice, because the spill of the flashlight turned out enormous, it lights up everything so I don't have the need to look at the ... outside "edges" of the beam. This is my second XP-G2 flashlight after the i3s and hte Olight's proven that this new emitter does wonders... so I hope the run times will be veeeeeeery long indeed with the LD12, too :) Ive had it for two days or three only so far and can't say yet. Anyway, I love Fenix :D

do you use rechargeable batteries or regular batteries?

Thanks for the input, folks, although I was mostly curious if it lived up to the hype from a brightness standpoint. Does it blow the LD22 out of the water, or not so much?

Recently picked up this beast at the local Home Depot for <$30. Three C cells and a drop rating of 30' with the rubber caps installed. High/Med/Flash modes.
We recently had a 10 hour power outage..... This thing doesn't mess around and has some serious throw. She rides full time in my truck now.

I recently bought a new Mini Mag AAA that I was enjoying quite a bit, until my wife stole it for her keychain EDC.
I shopped around for a replacement but couldn't find all the options I was looking for. I found a 10+ year-old incandescent Mini Mag AA of mine in my tool bag at work. I brought it home for reassignment. Bought a Terralux LED bulb and Nite-Ize tail switch. WOW. A light I had long forgotten is now my new EDC flashlight. I have heard about the Nite-Ize switch taking away from the full potential of the Terralux, but I did some beam shots and the difference is hardly noticeable. If anyone is interested in those shots, I can post some.
The best part of this story, is I was showing my coworkers the next day at work, when I realized I had not reinstalled the lense cap! :facepalm: No problem, I used it as normal and found the lense cap on the floor when I got home :think:

They're not bad either. :tu: I got one of the (claimed) 140 lumen ones years ago and thought it was excellent. Nowhere near 140 lumen mind you, but they might well have upgraded the LED since then. ;)
-
Looking online some people are saying that Nite-ize conversion is easier to install (no risk of breaking your Mag) and that Terralux sometimes doesn't work at all. Any truth behind that for those that tried it?
-
I don't have my terralux any more, but I don't remember having any problems with it. :think:
-
Agreed. If I can re-purpose or revitalize something I already own, that's awesome. I was glad I was able to find the old Mag Lite; After an extensive search at home, I thought I had tossed it. I was pleasantly surprised when I found it at work.
I don't have any exp. with the Nite-Ize LED, but generally have read about it being significantly less-bright than the Terralux.
The only restrictions/problems I have heard is it has to be installed on a AA MiniMag, and if it doesn't work, rotate the bulb pins 180 degrees. Obviously no problems with mine, but it will take me a few months to stop twisting the bezel to turn it on/off!

do you ever find the keyring on your e11 pressed too hard against the back switch? i tried to to that on my older e11 and it looked like it would damage the rubber case over time. have you had any trouble with that?
-
Hi, actually, I don't keep those rings for too long as I don't like the feeling of having it there. For the tie I've had them, however, I haven't had any problem. Yeah, the bigger rings do touch the clicky, but if I find it to be too big, I change to a smaller split ring and it's okay.

It was funny, just yesterday a guy who doesn't carry a light at work yanked my haiku out of my pocket. I didn't panic since I know my haiku is tough and can handle a foreign user. But I thought "if only you knew how much that light was....."

Here is my latest; a Tank007 PA2. A 2xAAA pen light with three levels. I've read that it is supposed to have mode memory, but that doesn't seem to be the case (with mine anyway). Not a big deal really, just a little disappointing as I rather like the feature. Build quality is good, especially given the low price point of just a little over £7. One thing that piqued my interest was that it uses an Osram LED rather then a Cree. Nice tint IMO, with it being just a hair on the warm side of neutral and definitely no discernible blue. However it does have a couple of 'rings' in the beam despite an orange peal reflector, not a massive issue for me but worth pointing out.

I wonder, when my LED arrives, if it will be possible to swap the body parts... like: the silver LED head, the black incan body and the silver LED tailcap... and vice versa for the incan head version.. :think:
And now thanks to Gareth's picture above, I'm :drool:ing over some other Tank007 models on eBay, :dd:

Yes it is. The C4 is putting out 35 lumens instead of 28 and has the S-Clip so you can clip it to a hat bill and use it as a headlamp. You can also clip it to other things as well. Comes with a break away neck lanyard as well.

Nice...... I must NOT include it on my to-buy-list, though (it will be the 3rd one) :ahhh

I was not immediately impressed when I received it yesterday, but after playing with it last night it is starting to grow on me quickly. Only time will tell but I will probably do a mini review after a week or so. :tu:

I think it's terribly big for a light that's only 35 lumens...

I can see where your coming from about that, but the size isn't a issue for me. I can take a comparison shot next to something if you like. It looks as if its just under double the length of the LED Lenser K2 though.

Some incandescent lights were pretty huge and produced less than 35Lm and a few years ago most people though they were great (some still do) :D

#8 HA cool white medium, 2xAAA body w/momentary
#4 SS cool white narrow, keychain body w/momentary & Dark Sucks Ti clip
#4 HA high CRI medium, pocket body
#4 SS cool white medium, lug body
* all bodies are non-QTC, which I prefer
The small #4 mediums with pocket or lug bodies are probably the most useful lights in my collection. Clip one of these to the brim of a cap for a perfect, floody headlamp. Runtime on the #4 power is 6-7 hours on NiMH or alkaline, 3-4 hours on Li-Ion with increased output. The #8 runs for about 1 hour on 2xAAA NiMH.

Thanks fellas. In today's world of high-tech, multi-mode wiz-bang LED flashlights, it's easy to forget about simple, reliable, well-made lights like these. Use them a couple of times though, and you'll quickly remember that they're really all you need for most daily tasks.

Actually, I do have an extra #8 SS Eiger head lying around, but the emitter is half-burnt out. I ran it on 10440 too long and it was scorching hot. :bnghd:
I had two extra bodies lying around a couple of weeks ago, and sent Robyn at Peak an email to fix that problem. I just received the #4 high CRI and the #4 cool narrow heads shown above in the mail yesterday.
I'm always impressed by their customer service. I mentioned to her when I ordered that I had a Logan with a QTC pill that was no longer working correctly. I mailed it to her, and they upgraded the QTC for free and shipped it back with the new heads just a few days later.
-
Sorry to hear about the #8. :cry:
I have a Matterhorn I'd like to switch the head on for something more EDCable. It's good with a bit of QTC at the bottom of the tube for extra long runtimes on super low, but that's about it. If you find one cheap, let me know. :salute:
-
Yeah, the older #8s with the Rebel emitters evidently got hot quickly @ 4.2 volts... I keep the #8 XP-G on the 2xAAA body so I don't try anything like that again.
I'll let you know if I see anything. Just FYI... New HA Eiger heads are $25 direct from Peak, and SS ones are $30. I'm guessing brass is $30 also. If you decided to go that route, I could help out with shipping...

I've been meaning to ask but have been forgetting to, how does the clip on that Streamlight hold up? The reverse side, that is.
-
If your asking about the ability to clip it onto a hat bill then it does work. No complaints from me. The real reason I wanted the Microstream was because my other streamlight Stylus pro's pocket clip always grabs the stitching on my shirt and gets caught which in turn pulls the stitching out every 10 minutes. The S shaped clip keeps this from happening.

It's a good clip and one of the selling points to me was the S-shaped clip which I can clip to a ball cap. It's much less cumbersome than a headlamp and works even better :tu:
-
Just a picture of some torches I have in a drawer, next to the bed. Most of these are used only occasionally. I though that considering I have the rooms/the outside areas and the cars full of torches (and never use a headlamp) and still have these in a drawer I may have a bit too many torches.

Uh... Yeah... Me too. ;-)

Yeah, I have an average of half a dozen flashlights on my night table, whan it gets cloe to ten, I take them back to the storage box but they keep coming back. :ahhh

Pffft, and he keeps claiming he's on the dark side... ::)
-
I just ordered a few of these Pelican 1910's. It's slightly bigger than the Streamlight C4 but twice as bright. What I like most about it is the momentary clicky selection. It lets you select bright (default) or dim (secondary) before fully clicking the switch to keep the light on. Taking a single AAA battery, that's something I actually stock and use the most of around the house so I'll always be able to power it.
The pocket clip connects to the end cap and I don't think it's removable, not that that matters to me. It's a very light-weight light and for what it's worth, the clicky switch is quite sensitive as to possible allow momentary turning on of the light but not so much as to click itself permanently on.
Overall, I give this light 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. I only wish it had more modes...

Posted this in the other flashlight thread, but what the heck, ill post it here as well. Found this at a antique store for $5.00. I didn't even try and talk them down at all for the price. There was another one in bad shape that I passed on, but might go back and pick it up to do a LED upgrade on it and actually use it.

Nothing terribly fancy, but a bunch of various lights of various power and price (nothing more than about 30 bux). Quite a few of them from DealExtreme, but some from local shops.
Some of them put out a decent amount of light with XM-L T6, XR-E, XP-E emitters here and there.
Others lean more to modest output with longer run times the Black one behind the mini lights is a generic 3xAAA 1 Watt light with Hi, Lo and Strobe modes that runs $12 for a three pack. I have them stashed all over the place.
Other batteries include 18650, 14500/AA, 10440/AAA, CR123A/16340,
The minis are a Spotlight Speck, Streamlight Nano and LED Lenser K1 and K2. All very similar in the amount of light they put out and hang from keys or paired with Minichamp or Style CS. The Nano does duty as a zipper pull on my bike jacket.
Not pictured is a 3xDcell Maglite with LED conversion. Not exactly a searchlight, but it runs for about a week non stop.
I know I could spend as much as all these cost me on one flashlight, but these do the job and there's always one (or several) close at hand.
The first rule of flashlights is... Have a flashlight.

Nice, what are the names on those, I can't fully make them out.. JR
Sunwayman V10r Ti and Eagletac d25c, both excellent lights. :cheers:

Here are some Surefires I've purchased over the years.I have other lights but they're scattered all over the property.

Wow, nice collection Toolguy. :cheers:

Agreed. :dd:

Thanks mates.
It seems odd but I don't look upon these as a collection,in the sense that I started out to create a collection of Surefires.I bought them one at a time when a newer model was introduced and it offered something more than the model before it.Or I bought a certain model because it fit a criteria for defense,compactness,dual lighting modes or some other logical reason.Before I knew it I had bought about 15 or more.All of the incan lamps have been updated over the years,when possible,with LED's.

Hmmm... Sounds similar to how I justify every collection I have! :P
Nice COLLECTION of Surefires there, toolguy. :D

No, no, just good solid logic! Your rationalization kung-fu is strong. ;)

Bright little sucker. The tint isn't as warm as my SC51w, but I like it. Can't wait for dark.

Thanks JA. Thank you for the trade with the SC51w. Turned me on to Zebralight.
I have yet to buy a 14500 battery for it. I spent the rest of my allowance on a charger and eneloops.

I traded you my sc51 with 100% intention on replacing it with a 52.
if I still had the 51 I don't think id get a 52 .
I'm going to try get a pair of 14500 and charger around the same time.
the 51 was close to perfect. It was a little dim. The 52 should be just right:)

I bought the 52w because I wanted something brighter than the 51w and believe me it is. I also wanted something that was close in brightness to my Olight s10. The 52w is not as bright, but the larger side button makes up for it. My one peav with the S10 was how small the button is on it. I was always turning it in my hand to find the button.
-
That's one thing that is really nice about the Zebralight, IMO. Having the clip on the back side and the shape of the "head" makes the button really easy to find.

As long as I have the Olight on lockout it never came on in my pocket. The trouble I have with it is I had to hold down the button for it to come on. It's just so much easier to turn the tail cap on the ZL.

I don't even turn the tail cap on the ZL, and it's only come on once, I think, and that was when I was fiddling with stuff in my pocket, so kinda my own fault :P
The Olight, on the other hand... With the lockout, it wasn't too bad, but I didn't like the trouble of going out of lockout when I only needed the light for a second.
-
I never lock out my SC52W, and it has never turned on inadvertently in my pocket.

I'm going to carry my Sc52w without locking it out and see what happens. My Sc51 came on in my pocket every time I didn't lock it out. The button is more recessed on the Sc52 though. If it doesn't come on it would be my perfect light.
-
I've been liking my Olight s10 because I can position the clip so the switch doesn't get bummed on

I tried that and the dang thing still turned on in my pocket. Still an awesome little light though. I use it to light up my backyard when my dog won't come in. There is no place to hide. :)
-
It is a amazingly bright little sucker
-
I carried the SC52w all day without locking out the tailcap and it didn't turn on once. I have a winner. I wouldn't of stopped carrying it anyway.
-
Now I want one even more.

Looks like Zebralight has most models back in stock now. :whistle:
-
Now I want one even more.
You meant need one, right?
-
Oh goodie. I didn't see this thread :)
I'm a hunter that does a lot of night time rabbit/possum shooting... so I have too many torches.
Alright so lets start of with my Solarforce torches:
- Left: Solarforce M9 - 1020 lumen "thrower"... this thing is a beast. SF state a 500m beam, but to see clear detail on the ground I reckon 300m is realistic. Chews through batteries through.
- Middle: Two Solarforce L2's - 980 Lumen general torches both with battery tube extenders for more capacity
- Right: Solarforce T1 - This is my little EDC torch. 500 lumens, not much bigger than the 18650 battery it runs off. Nice orange peel reflector means a very nice light spread. Highly recommended for $25
(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/IMG_3070_zpsb1cee2d9.jpg)
Next up there's some repeats in here, but I used to be a LED Lenser guy (I still have them all... I just don't use them as I favor my rechargeable torches now... brighter and no battery waste, +/+).
- Left: LED Lenser P17 - 220 lumens... not much, but it's very focused. So you'll light up the ground clearly 200m away no sweat. This was my main spotlight before the M9. It's indestructible.
- LED Lenser P7 (200 lumen) & P7.2 (320 lumen) - I'll never get rid of my little P7. This thing is mounted to my scope on my suppressed 17HMR with a pressure switch. Excellent torch. The P7.2 however, was a huge let down. No increase in practical brightness, a severe battery life cut, and it felt like it was made to a lower standard than my others
- Little LED Lenser K2L - Awesome little light but the batteries are $16 a pop for 4 of them... so I don't use it.
- SF M9
- Mini Maglite - This thing was a gift from my dad when I was a kid. It's beaten up and old, but I did a 140 lumen LED upgrade on it a while ago. It still gets used occasionally.
- SF T1 (my EDC)
- 2x Solarforce X3 - AAA 50 lumen keychain lights. I EDC one of these as well (the T1 rides in my backpack or pocket, but one of these is always on my keys). Mostly use AAA rechargeables for this.
(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/Mobile%20Uploads/6436DB4E-F886-4C9B-AE30-DCE8F645FB9C_zpsqwjicoe7.jpg)
And this final one gives you a bit of an idea how small the T1 is against a AAA battery.
(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/RimfireNZ/Mobile%20Uploads/C498792A-C7F6-41C8-A9ED-EC2148607C08_zpsl0gxz1lv.jpg)
I know it's a smurfty pic, but the little T1 does a great job of lighting things up in the middle of the night

Yeah the M9 in particular is a very nicely built light. Better fit and finish than the L2s. Nice aluminium. Everything screws together nice and smoothly like it's buttered up. It's a nice touch that it comes with spare buttons and o rings etc.
It chomps through batteries on full 1020 lumen mode though.

After awhile, I realized this was the only EDC flashlight I needed.

I paid $60 at batteryjunction but it may be had for cheaper elsewhere.

I have to agree. That's my carry light, and it's been great. A nice low, bright high, good midranges, great beam quality, and it runs forever on 18650s.

I decided to check out lithium rechargeable batteries, so I bought few different cheap flashlights and couple Li-ion chargers along with some lithium batteries last couple of months.
I also bought some usb lights, and they turned out to be pretty good.
Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with lithium batteries, and I managed to get some old laptop battery packs, so I ended up with few unprotected 18650 & 17650 cells.
After checking the flashlights, I started to edc this grey Convoy S2+ flashlight.
Floody light, XML2 T6-4C, runs on one 18650, extremely well built.

You should've, they look cool :D But why so many lights of the same type?
Years ago, they (the Ultra M's- milspec) were arguably the best you could get so I bought several and put them in my trouble/gear/camping/packs and later bought backups to those. Really simple lights, one intensity, waterproof, screw tailcap switch with about a 70 hour runtime. Very simple, durable lights but pretty low output. I call them "personal lights" because for doing simple tasks in the dark like around the house/campsite, they are great. Also, 3 of those are red LEDs that I use when looking at the stars.

My Gerber Ultras.
I have multiples of Gerber Ultras also. 1 each white and red in each of 3 bugout bags in the family. I also have a CMG ultra-g that I keep handy for a task light.
-
So.... both are 1xAA, both have tons of modes and cool features... I can't say which one I like more, but I think the 4Sevens is far more "carriable" because of its size.
Yeah the 4Sevens are often very close to the size of the battery they use. Very compact and tons of features.

Those are neat little lights. Do they have different color beams? Oh, I should have read through. Yeah they came in red, too. Very cool. Too bad they are not still made.

Looks good!

You should've, they look cool :D But why so many lights of the same type?
Years ago, they (the Ultra M's- milspec) were arguably the best you could get so I bought several and put them in my trouble/gear/camping/packs and later bought backups to those. Really simple lights, one intensity, waterproof, screw tailcap switch with about a 70 hour runtime. Very simple, durable lights but pretty low output.

Well, perhaps just a little. ;) I know it's an old design now but I do think there's still a place for the Infinity Ultra.

It started out back in about 2004, during my Maglite-buying craze:
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj571/david57strat/Flashlights/119_1939.jpg) (http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/david57strat/media/Flashlights/119_1939.jpg.html)
Back then, all I had were incandescent lights. LED's weren't really as well-made, or as easy to find, back then (and high-powered LEDs were non-existent); so, options were severely limited.
This was shot with a Canon A70 (my first decent digital camera. Before that, I had this Kodak DC150...? (horrible resolution. That was my first digital camera, so this A70 was a huge and long-overdue step up for me, and that's when I started going crazy, taking pictures :)
Back in about March of 2013, I had these seventeen lights, twelve of which were LED lights:
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj571/david57strat/101_3972.jpg) (http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/david57strat/media/101_3972.jpg.html)
Shot with a Canon SX-1 IS. I've been using this camera since about January of 2010.
In July of that same year, I had these thirty-nine lights One is not pictured (I think it was a Pelican 2390). I'm fairly sure maybe only two out of the entire bunch, were incandescent. By this time, I had been using rechargeable batteries of one sort or another, in most of my lights. This is probably the highest quality picture I've ever taken of the full light collection - but it's sadly-outdated. Need to take a more recent one, outdoors (the natural light really helps).
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj571/david57strat/Flashlights/101_5278a.jpg) (http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/david57strat/media/Flashlights/101_5278a.jpg.html)
The front row were the EDC lights I carried, at the time.
At the time, I only had the one lonely SolarForce (The L2N, with the custom Erik Kress XM-L 7C 5-mode). I loved the light so much, I realized I was in trouble, then (sixfteen SolarForce lights later lol), and that I was about to fall all the way down the rabbit hole in Flashlight Land.
Since then, I've given away probably at least ten lights, as I found myself getting nicer (more specialized) stuff. I've been able to weed through a lot of lights, and really discover what I like the most in a light, and what I prefer not to buy.
In the past week or so, I picked up my 73rd light. Below is the most recent picture, minus the most recent three purchases:
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj571/david57strat/Flashlights/IMG_8504.jpg) (http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/david57strat/media/Flashlights/IMG_8504.jpg.html)

The Foursevens:
Here's a company a lot of people aren't too familiar with - other than in flashlight circles. They make a really fine product, and have (from what I've heard) stellar, U.S.-based customer service - although I've never had occasion to need customer service on either of these lights, to date.
I only have two of their lights, thus far:
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj571/david57strat/Flashlights/IMG_6975a.jpg) (http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/david57strat/media/Flashlights/IMG_6975a.jpg.html)
Left: Maelstrom X10 (running on a 26650 lithium battery - looks a lot like a D cell.
Right: QB2L-X (a flexible light. Can run on 2 CR123s, 2 RCR123s, a 17650. I'm running it on two LiFEPO4 batteries, since I had to steal the 17650 out of it, to use in my newer EagleTac P20 C2 Mk II lol - at least until I get around to ordering more 17650 batteries, which run at 1500 mAh. 17650 batteries are like the low-calorie version of the 18650 batteries so many people use - slightly skinnier, but the same length.
They're both first generation lights, using the original Cree's XM-L emitter - very powerful, with nice focused center spot and generous spill beams. The XM-L is known for power, but because of the larger LED, it's not known for throw, unless you pair it up with a larger head, and a deeper reflector, which helps improve throw, greatly.
The X10 is like a handheld searchlight - impressive for its size; very robust build quality on both of these lights. The QB is (sort of) a smaller version of the X10.
A lot of FourSevens users seem to be really attached to the smaller Quark Series of lights, that are said to be extremely lego-able.
Another very popular set of lights comes from Preon Series (mainly AAA penlights that have become very popular among flashlight enthusiasts, for their tremendous build quality.

Just one? Forget it.
That's like eating just one potato chip. It wasn't meant to be done! :P :P. There is no one perfect light. I don't suppose there ever will be. What's great for lighting up a keyhole, is utterly useless for lighting up the street. It's just like hand tools. Every tool has its purpose, and should be treated accordingly. You wouldn't think to use a file, as a claw hammer - or a screwdriver, as a lug wrench, right? Same thing with flashlights. Different lighting needs require different lighting instruments. You could use just one, but why, when you have dozens to choose from, and a willingness to carry some of them, so they're readily available, wherever you go?
Besides, as the mantra goes, Two is one; one is none. If you only carry one, and that one fails (for whatever reason), you're pretty much screwed.
Additionally, I like having different tint choices at my disposal, so that precludes the possibility of EDCing just one light. It kind of complicates things, weight-wise, but I don't care. I like having options (as any true flashaholic would).
Wait...were you talking about on-person EDC, or on-person, and bag-carried? Those are two very different categories lol.
I'll be posting what I EDC with detailed pictures and comments, probably later today. I usually EDC five lights or more, on person (Used to be ten, but that was just ridiculous...my cargo pockets and belt were all weighed down lol, so I pared things down to five (give or take). When I travel, it's all the more, and things get really interesting with TSA, since I have to carry all lithium ion batteries in my carry-on; but not the end of the world. It's worth the extra screening time.
Now that I EDC a bag (to work, anyway), this makes things easier (although, truth be told, I still prefer carrying as many on-person, as possible.
Pics to follow :D

It's an AWESOME light :tu:
Only its coating isn't really great i.e. it'll scratch & wear out a lot faster than, say, Fenix. You'd better take more pics of it while it's still brand new :D
Otherwise, it's one of the best AAAs I've ever tried.

This thread is slow moving.There are some good lights displayed here though.
Here are two AA powered lights I just received.
The top light is a Malkoff devices MDC with a three mode switch which allows 3,25,250 lumens.
The second light is Surefire E2L AA Outdoorsman and this has a two mode switch that allows 5 & 125 lumens with 100 and 8.5 hours of runtime respectively.

I don't think I have mentioned it in this thread, but I am quite into the "Nebo Larry 2" and "Nebo Big Larry" lights. These are not exactly EDC lights, but are good for a Man Sack or to stick on the fridge. Its easier for you too look at than for me to describe, but they are very simple 2xAAA or 2xAA lights. One version has a magnetic pocket clip, and the other a magnetic base. These are just very simple, bright, easy to manage lights that feed on common batteries. I use Eneloop rechargeables in everything. They are around $12 and $20, respectively.

As for EDC, I carry a Streamlight Stylus Pro 2xAAA. It fits nicely in a thin vertical pocket on my 5.11 Taclite Pro pants. It makes adequate light with several hours of runtime. Occasionally I'll belt carry an 18650 Fenix or Nitecore when I want some serious lumens.

Just got this before Christmas, I also got one for my brother. It has a very wide to tight focusing head that slides, works really well. Single AA supposedly 220 lumens but I think that is optimistic. For less than $10 It is pretty sweet.

I need a new AAA flashlight*... what's the SS one?

I've been carrying the Nitecore Tube. It has turned itself on a couple of times while in the pocket. Still, pretty good light, like the possibility of regulating the intensity and the USB charging.
The other is a small, cheap one I keep in the office drawer, just in case. Also USB charged. Just on/off position, no other modes.
-
I used to have that USB-charging one at one point... but I was a bit disappointed when I received it. Just the seller hadn't represented it well in his pics, I thought it was far smaller.

Yup, it's a bit "chunky". That's why it lives in my drawer and not in my pocket. It's more of a backup than a real user.

Ok, thanks :D
So, one mode, 80-lumens or so. But only $7, wow.

One of my favorites.
CR123 only for maximum reliability but I do use mine with a dual mode tailcap and LiFePO4 cells as a general use light.

Cool. I really liked my Hugsby XP-1, but then my wife borrowed it and now can't find it. She thinks someone might have "borrowed" it from her desk drawer at work. >:( Now the Hugsby is hardly an expensive torch, but if I can pick up a couple for even less I'll be a happy Scotsman. :D

Sure did, but I went with the Limited Edition i3S EOS 180 lumen, bare brass version. 8)
A bit more expensive, but I had a gift card so might as well and 180lm out of a little single AAA is intriguing. :D
I still have $33.00 to spend. Any suggestions on other lights or anything cool really?
-
Awesome :drool: Don't forget the pics :D :D :D
Well, they aren't realllllly thaaaaaat coooolll, because it seems that nowadays when someone offers something new, the others catch up soon, but have you considered the Fenix LD02 or the Lumintop Tool?

I considered the LD02. The Lumintop Tool is new to me. I'm interested and will do some research on it. First thing I noticed is the clip. I do not like how far down the light it is positioned and that could be a deal breaker for me.

Yeah, it's a bit more down than you'd expect, but the clip on the Lumintop is way better than the one on the LD02. It's sturdier, tighter, more reliable. I have both lights, can't decide which I love more, so I keep rotating them :D They're more or less the same in performance, but the LD02, as you probably know, switches to the med mode after 3 minutes on high.

I don't really NEEEED another flashlight I guess. I mean I have a bunch and barely carry them because I cycle through maybe 4 different lights and the others just sit and get used on occasion now. I have the Olight coming anyways. Maybe I should just put the rest of the cash towards a Pioneer X. :think: I also may increase my outdoor cooking setup.
Any other ideas for stuff. Does not have to be knife/MT/flashlight related?

I think I'll need a new stronger flashlight this winter. There's a really dark part of my neighborhood which I pass through on my way to and from work. Unless I want to trip over and break my neck somewhere, I need a flashlight. As I'll have to pass through the area twice a day five days a week, investing in a stronger light might be a good idea.
I used the Olight i7r a few times for this last year, though. The high mode did the job really well. Maybe I'll stick to that. I'll see :D

Singfire (I believe) did a special run of this light with a different emitter for BLF, it could be an older version. I also think CNCQ had a similar light.

Here is the latest picture of my Solarforce family, which include the addition of two new L2D hosts, which are loaded with Mountain Electronics XM-L2 U3 3D 5-mode drop-ins. The third (original) L2D has an International Outdoors XP-L U5 7A3 3-mode drop-in (One of the warmest P60 lights that I own).
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj571/david57strat/Flashlights/IMG_9183a.jpg)
One change to one of the existing lights was done to the L2P (pictured in the middle/foreground. That light remains one of my main EDCs. I replaced the standard body with a 18650-bored Surefire 6P body, that I picked up on Oveready.
This is to be a three-stage process, with the ultimate goal resulting in a light with a Cryos cooling bezel, housing a far more powerful quad Nichia drop-in (rather than the Sportac triple Nichia currently installed), and a higher amperage tail switch, to support the heavier amperage load.
At the end of this process, the light will no longer be a Solarforce, at all - which means, I need to purchase another Solarforce, to keep the number at twenty (I hate odd numbers. That's as good an excuse as any, right?).

The Tube is just one of the lights that everybody should own, flashaholic or not.
Looks like everyone around here is carrying (or at least has) one. I know I am...

Amici,
Recently, I picked up a Nitecore TIP that not only pushes out 360 Lumens max but with and additional three easy programmable modes. It also is USB rechargeable!
Since I have picked this up, this has been my constant light EDC. The basic fact that the Nitecore light is an FANTASTIC pocket friendly light!!! Even better once you attach a P-7 suspension clip, which makes it light as a feather.
Highly recommend it to any fence sitters..
Cheers,
Serge

My Pelican lights are fixed focus. However, Pelican offers adjustable focus lights, too:

Where did you bought the metal switch covers? I saw this mod on BLF, but the guy got it as a replacement if I remember correctly. Great looking lights BTW.

I have found the mod on BLF too but I used 2 Tool Ti for the switches, I dont like Titanium Flashlights ;) :)

Short comparison between Nitecores MH27UV and SRT9.
Althogh the SRT9 looks much bigger, it has the same head diameter (40mm) and about the same length (close to 150mm). Only the battery compartment is wider in the SRT, because it houses 2 batteries. But it fits in my bag the same way the MH fits, since the pocket is wide and I just had dead space there. The SRT is a bit heavier because of the second battery. But I hold it better. The peculiar clips of the back act similarly to the tactical ring (so the cigar handling is in the menu) and make it tail stand better than the MH. They bith take the same 40mm filters which is nice (and saved me money, I only bought the neutral, because the default use is with that on for both).
The RGBUV LEDs are the same in luminance and function. The SRT has the Green which the MH hasn't (or the UV in the case of the regular MH27).
The SRT has about the double ewdurance for the same lumens count, which is good.
The main LED is twice stronger in the SRT (2150 lumens vs 1000). It has an Orange skin reflector, so it is a flooder (which I like, although I had to get a neutral density filter to make it perfect for night reading). It reaches 246 meters, vs a claimed 462, but the fact for me is that in close distances (where I need them most), the beam of the SRT is less concetrated and blinding.
MH has the USB charging (very useful to me, since I won't carry the charger when travelling), and some more modes, blue flash, red flash and SOS. I would only use the red flash rarely and I have it on the keyring light now (MecArmy SGN3), so no big deal.
The real big difference is the way you change modes. Although the double button of the MH is excelent, the smartring is the best thing I have ever tried. Fast, precise, simple and it gives you the opportunity to choose the exact amount of light you need, in place of the prefixed (or programmable) qvantums of light all other torches offer. Also, the SRT has a true "standby" mode, from wich you can rapidly go to any mode you want. In both, signaling and momentary is done through the tail switch.
I thing that, in the future, all rounded LED lights should have a smartring.
The winner is the SRT for me (close margin). But I guess that combining the Smartring with the USB charging is very easy and somebody will do it eventually (Nitecore I guess, after we buy these two lines first and then they will try to convince us to "upgrade". The same old tricks). Also, they could make the status LED of the SRT to show the voltage, as is the case with the MH.
They are both big, although I found that the functionality of the MH made me EDC it without second thought. No other torches I know can do all that these lines (SRT and MH) can. I will certainly EDC the SRT from now on and I put the MH by my bedside, for night reading and all the other uses around the house.
