The L1 occupies a very soft spot in my heart  , I've owned several , the take a pounding , and I love the switching .

 :tu:  It is a great setup, and built like a tank.  The efficiency leaves something to be desired though...  :-\

I'm carrying two Peak Eigers today.  My constant companion #4 on a neck lanyard, and a #8 SS on a dangler in my pocket.

Is that a stainless bezel?  I just looked that light up, nice price, may have to get one if it can fit a 17mm driver.  Not sure about the lack of knurling.  Do you find is slippery?

Yes, the bezel is SS. The middle portion is a bit slippery.

How do you like the construction.

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

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

I've managed to drag myself away from my iTP SS A2 for a while and have been carrying my green Gerber Infinity for the last week, backed up with my iTP SA2 in my organiser.  The Infinity really is a decent light for close up work.

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

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

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

(Image removed from quote.)
Interesting.... sounds like a job for a ZebraLight, but that one you have is pretty freaky... I'll have to look into that.

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

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

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

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

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

Today was a big flashlight day in the house.

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

Since changing to my Micro Organiser I've moved from my iTP SA2 (great light) to my older Eagletac P10A. 

For pocket carry I just got a Tank007 E07 from Neil yesterday so am planning on carrying that today.

I've been carrying my ITP A1 for about 6 months now and I'm not sure if it needs a new seal or some lubricant but the sequences of 3 brightness levels are hard to control on it.  It takes some tinkering to get the desired brightness.  I wonder if pocket lint has played a role  ???

I've heard of that before I think, IIRC the person put it down to an old cell.  Any chance yours is just run a bit flat?

Still have my P10A in my organiser but gave my Infinity Ultra a work out today.  Just so happens that the low light output was perfect for doing a little fault finding on a CCTV system. :)
