torch badge request
on: November 05, 2020, 12:32:54 AM
This is what i edc in my my bag
from top left to bottom right i have,
Spork
Leatherman spannery tool
A selection of leatherman bits
Knifless rebar
Vic bantam
Anker battery and various charge leads
Earbuds
And Ledlenser T7.2 torch

i love this torch, and at only 320 lumens i have torches of similer size with 8x the lumen output but this still takes pride of place in my bag.
Despite its relatively low lumen count its the way it focuses its light with out any hot spots, just perfectly dispersed from centre to the edge like a window of light that makes it a favourite.
And the locking head that can be be moved back and forward to change the distance of the throw works a treat.

It would be a little chunky for an edc if it was not for the pouch on the outside of my maxpedition bag that i keep it in that is of perfect proportions like it was made for the job.

My trouble is i never show initiative, but that's only because no one has told me to.

Nice carry and light.

I understand what you mean about brightness.  I have several higher lime. Lights but my edc one is 300 lumens.  It is plenty sufficient for almost any task I need.

Thanks :tu:
A few years ago I rounded up all my torches mainly mag-lites and a few leatherman, bought and fitted them with all new batteries and then took them to the rspca charity shop. Then joined the crazy LED arms race replacing all my torches with new ones.

Now most of the ones I bought have been superseded by newer models and I have nearly bought the newer models simply because they have increased the lumen count over my already super bright torches. But I stopped myself as the torches I do have I rarely use on full power anyway. So I have decided I am happy with what I have and will only replace them if and when they pack up. And when I do I find myself more interested in versatility and runtimes over all out brightness.

My trouble is i never show initiative, but that's only because no one has told me to.
