Spec me an LED Torch

I've ordered one also mrk.

mrk · 11 Aug 2012 at 18:26

I was hoping it would have arrived by now but I guess it is China post in action and UK customs.

Headphones from Singapore arrived today though, less than a week.

Really tempted to splash out and get one good triple xm-l, would love the Thrunite TN30.

Just got a good deal on some protected Panasonic based 18650's 3100 mAh from ebay.

The seller charges $25 for 2 but i made an offer of $63 for 6 with international tracking and he accepted.

So £6.90 each.

Search on ebay for 280928671469.

Could any of you recommend a torch for me please. As the nights are getting darker im in need to a torch i can attach ontop of my airgun. Needs to be as bright as possible, but nothing too bulky.

Cheers

Monster.

Hoping my v10 arrives today as well!

rG-tom · 14 Aug 2012 at 21:24

Wow Deluxe1, serious torch that!

Still kept a Solarforce L2-T to go with it? Any comparison shots?

Need to buy an 18650 now.

Magic_x_uk · 14 Aug 2012 at 21:28

sorry, but without sounding stupid. What does spending such huge amounts of money on a torch give you that a £10 = £20 B&Q one doesnt?

Is it just very bright and shines a long distance?
Or what? quite interested

I've got a couple left both with a nailbender led in them, ones a XM-L and the other is a dual xp-g.

I'll try and get a few pics tonight.

Tom - Did the package turn up today?

rG-tom · 14 Aug 2012 at 21:54

Yea it did Deluxe1

Cheers. I'm only using the MC-E atm as I need to get an 18650 or 2 and a charger, can you reccomend me any? Or have any spare i can buy ? I should have asked that before really lol.

How much brighter is the XM-L over the MCE?

Cheers

Tom.

mrk · 14 Aug 2012 at 22:06

You want some silicone gun grease now too to keep those orings and threads nicely lubed up!

I'd say about 50% brighter.

As for a charger the Intellicharger i4 V2 is what i've just bought.

I generally use AW18650's but i've just ordered some of these from ebay:

Got 6 for £42.
