I thought it was anything that can be discussed in the forums? It is a visual piece of hardware after all and can be used for photographic purposes! Hence under the audio/visual MM section

Update, Intl outdoor store has emailed me back to my question about the missing SOS mode, they said:
So that explains that!
Edit*
Here are some close up detail shots of the VG-10. I searched online but the pics available didn't really get really close enough. I actually prefer the fit and finish of this compared to the BC40 now. the BC40 is excellent but a bit too smooth and clean, the VG-10 has sharp, military folds and the colour adds to the niceness.

Got this on order but not sure whats best to get battery wise?

Need single use ones that are decent. Should i just get any old ones from the petrol station or are Duracell pro ones etc any better?

Just get a decent brand and you cant go far wrong. Don't get cheapo ones as they can leak, I found that out the hard way.
That light doesn't sound very bright at 30 lumens though.

I like the idea of the low voltage indicator. I assume that when the red light comes on the cell has drained to the point it needs to be recharged and not below? That would be very useful.
Shame the turbo mode only stays on for 5 mins, then it drops down to 280lumens.
Similar price to the Fenix TK21 I have on my wish list...

Energizer Ultimate Lithium if you want to splash out. They have the longest shelf-life (15 years) by far, and the most capacity by a respectable amount.

Can you recommend anything better? It's for army phase one so needs a red light on it also that is best to be able to turn on first before any white light. Budget around £40.
That's great thanks.

new addition:
Really nicely made bit of kit
It's a teeny bit brighter than the L2P with XM-L dropin, but the quality of the actual beam is a lot better, more consistency.

What battery are you using in it? Mine is screwed on quite tightly but that's with all protected cells and seen no issues.
Man of Honour
Maybe a QC issue then? Have you tried checking to see if the tailcap switch is screwed in tightly and head?
Since it's getting darker at night now I'm going to need a new torch. Can someone recommend me one? Will primarily be used for going through the tracks and fields leading horses at night, so something with a wider beam would be more preferable than one that turns everything in front of me pure white with light. I definitely need one that can take rechargeables whether that's standard ni-mh or those dodgy lithium cells.
