I know I'm doing it all wrong, but what can I say, I love danger... :P

So, I now got word from dx that said flashlight is on its way, I thought I'd ask if any of you guys has any experience with it. I'm mostly interested in battery life in low, but any and all opinions are more than welcome.

I have it on my key chain. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and so far I'm very impressed with it. Have not tested the battery run time yet. It's rated at 150 lumens on high but I think it's more like 100. Still very bright for it's size. Medium is about 50 lms and low is about 10 lms. The only thing I don't like about it are the S.O.S and strobe modes. I find them useless. Otherwise I'm very happy with it and I think you will be as well. Worth the price IMHO. I'll test the battery time on low and get back to you later.

The light went out at 2hr 45min on low mode. It started going dim at around the 2hr mark. Keep in mind that I used a cheap generic brand alkaline battery. You will probably get a significant improvement in run time with a better quality or lithium battery. Let me know how you get on with yours after you EDC it for a while.

Will do mate. I must admit I'm somewhat disappointed by that figure as a looooong low is what I'm primarily after in small flashlights (e.g. see Maratac AAA's ~50 hours @1.5lm). We'll see how this one goes... :-\
