Looking at price and advertised power, no worries, the LED will be a vomiting cold white with green tint and awful corona and poor battery-life with 4AA
Holster carry? That is some serious throw.
Those safety lights are such nice items to have. We have a few dog people here who have them on their dog collars. They also have them on themselves. We don't have a lot of street light in my area and it gets pretty dark.
My new EDC, Fenix PD25R.
Nice. I used a PD25 on a couple deployments. They are great lights. My only complaint is the led, I wish they would make some lights with warmer HiCri options.
Makes flashlight normies say things like "WHAT THE HELL?" and such.
This little piece of pocketable madness.Astrolux EA04 with 4x HP50 emitters wearing the 26350 tube and cell. A (brief) turbo output of a claimed 12,000 lumens. Actual output lumens is quite a bit lower with the 26350 cell being unable provide enough amps for Turbo. But it's still enough to make me giggle every time I fire it up. Makes flashlight normies say things like "WHAT THE HELL?" and such. Using the long body tube and a high current 26650 or 21700 cell and the time limit for turbo mode is more like, how long can you hold on to it before it gets too hot. Not as bad as another light I have, but it makes a great little hand warmer.
Arkfeld is a cracking light For what it's worth I've never had it come on whilst having it in my pocket for fitness walks, I'm pretty sure the switching ring would prevent most accidental activations. Refreshing to see someone willing to use lock out though!
We were referring to the Olight Arkfeld, which is an excellent light. I have been carrying 2 versions of it for about 2 years - mostly recently the Pro version that has white light, UV and a laser.I was concerned about accidental pocket activation. Well, it has happened a few times, resulting my the plastic lens melting. For the past few days, I have smelled something burning. Some times in the kitchen, other times in the basement. I walked around the house looking for any signs of an electrical fire. I finally figured out that the smell was emanating from the light. I purchased it from Olightstore.com, which adds a lifetime warranty to all products and has superior customer service. They are sending me a new light, and a shipping label to return the old one.The light really, really needs a glass lens, or some thermal protection to shut the light off. Or both. So, reluctantly, I'll be switching my EDC to something else. Candidates include the Nitecore EDC 27, Olight SR2 Baton II and Baton 3 Pro Max. I prefer an EDC with the capability of high output, plus a strobe.(Image removed from quote.)Left to right: deceased Olight Arkfeld Pro, Nitecore EDC 27, Olight SR2 Baton II and Olight Baton 3 Pro Max (which I also own in white and coyote tan).(Image removed from quote.)Melted plastic lens in the Arkfeld Pro.
Just started test driving it this afternoon. I'm impressed that the magnet can hold this much weight. My one concern right now is that there doesn't seem to be a way to replace the battery once it quits taking a charge. This, however, did not occur to me until I had it in my grubby hands.
