Yes I do enjoy a good keychain light. My Rovyvon is doing great and is used often. I also really like Anduril and thanks to Sos I was gifted a light with it. I'm going to check out the lights she suggested . I like AAA or even better USB rechargeable. AUX leds yes please. I think my partner has come to the realization that I have to play with the Anduril UI to get completely familiar with it .
You guys are such a bad influence After being stuck in Chinese customs, the GT Nano finally got delivered. The 10440 tube of the Frog fits it perfectly. The 3x AAA tube screws on A LOT smoother on the Nano than on the Frog. I haven’t had time to test it outdoors since it came it at noon. Quite eager to see how far the Nano would reach.
Night cannot come fast enough. My lovely partner says, " Your light is glowing, is it ok". I tell her its been glowing and its a battery indicator and locator as well as very cool. She's unimpressed. I then turn on the AUX lights alternating colors. She's says "NOW THATS COOL" . She wants to press a button or twist for on then press or twist again for off for light. I tell her mine is set up that way and to give it a shot. She then says "Oh, that reminds me, I need a new battery for my light". She carries a Lumintop Worm in purple. I hand her a battery and she twists on and off as she walks out the room. "Hey, aren't you going to try the light?". "No, mines working now and yours looks complicated". Next time.
She's funny tho. Any new gear she wants to handle but hands back without giving it a try. She has her gear she likes so I'm glad for that. Spyderco Chaparral, Worm, Micra, Classic. She cannot carry a blade anymore at work so its Micra and Worm.
You did it! Looking forward to your thoughts on the GT Nano
It’s something for the outdoors and not the type I’d use to say, fix something under the kitchen sink. Firing off the beam off yonder across the street reminds me of the laser pointers of old. It’s like pick a target out there and expect a round spotlight to show up on that area! Wish I had this earlier when we went to the beach. It deserves a good place in the outdoors bag. It won’t take up space and won’t weigh more than an extra SAK or MT.
It's good fun isn't it? The throw really stands up against larger lights, it's really neat
After the talk about the Frog, I decided to order one with a 10440 tube.
Congratulations! Hope you find it useful!First order of business with the Frog is to turn off that aux light on the power switch. It has a very high level of parasitic drain on a rather small battery.
How do you shut it off? I read the instructions, but those seem to simultaneously lock out the light.
I don’t remember how I did it but it goes something like:3 clicks to go to battery check then click n hold to bring you to advanced configuration settings of the aux light. Then I just kept pressing 1 click after blinks as ‘1’ = disable. I basically opted to disable all indicator LED functions. It takes practice to count blinks but this newbie did manage it so I’m sure you would also!
Nice additions.
I only have one red led light. Its great tho. I would like to see a light with aux laser in green Nice light btw.
Another addition. A rather unique one I would say. It’s an HD15R. Instead of flood and throw emitters, it’s got flood and red emitters. I still have to take it to its paces - hopefully it becomes more than just a collector’s piece stuck in a shelf or bag. I have to admit though that if there’s something I find missing on my headlamps, it’s an always-on aux light.
The Olight Arcfeld is exactly this, you may be interested
