Spec me an LED Torch

My 2600mAh cells are running great in it, the voltages drop evenly in both batteries too and charge evenly as well. For the price they can't be beat from what I've researched.

I knew it was too good to be true. Just got an automated email saying it is out of stock :rolleyes:

. There is no option to wait for it to be back in stock, just a refund or choose another item or credit.

Unlucky!

Should have got one the same time I did, would have been same price almost

Mark A · 11 Jan 2012 at 18:39

I remember not long after you got yours I looked at the ebay link you posted and it was £45. Guess it must have gone up shortly after you got it.

Never mind. It was an impulse purchase anyway as I don't really need one

You guys have induced me to spend WAY to much on flashlights.

So I thought I'd repay the compliment.

I got this little Sipik the other day and it's a steal at @£5. Black or silver.

The Ultrafire 3 mode clone is nowhere near as good.

torches should be banned for using Americanisms

Lol, I saw the $22 price tag (for the accessory) and thought, "Wow, great price", then I looked up and saw the real price tag!

What are you putting it on?

After some saving I finally got a Thrunite Catapult v3

mrk · 13 Jan 2012 at 19:35

Looks like a nice light!

Would be interesting to see it compared next to a BC40 too as construction quality looks the same (high) as does build spec. The V3 does have some additional modes though.

Your worrying about dropping your light?
I jacked my car down on my pd30 for half an hour the other week. There was barely a scratch.

I have my TK21 mounted on my bike when when I ride over bumps the mode keeps switching which is annoying. What can cause this?

Deluxe1 · 14 Jan 2012 at 10:39

Vibration.

uvarvu · 14 Jan 2012 at 10:47

I know that much but how can I stop it?

Deluxe1 · 14 Jan 2012 at 10:53

This is how i attach mine, tried a twofish lockblock mount but that used to slip so now i just use two jubilee clips and it keeps it more secure.

Does the battery move about inside the torch? You could try getting some of them small powerful magnets and sticking one to the battery. Also line the torch barrel with some thick paper so the battery is a snug fit.

Can't say I've ever had this problem with my TK12, but that uses a different method of switching modes. Could the button be getting pressed against the mount or something?

uvarvu · 14 Jan 2012 at 18:48

I'll try the paper trick out and see if it works but the next night ride will be on Monday. I'll let you know how I get on, thanks for the tip

That's a shame you missed out.

I also very nearly clicked buy, but funds are kinda low at the moment, I am kinda glad I didn't give in as it would sting my wallet!

I'm darting all over the place again with thoughts on my next purchase. It isn't good!

What would you recommend that has a decent enough light, long lifeish(or at least rechargeable without AA's or whatever) and costs less than £25?

It's the battery losing contact with the contacts in the head or tail. Put a small thin Neodymium magnet on the negative end (not the positive end!) - something 1-2mm thick should do.
