Spec me an LED Torch

I think it's just old stock people are trying to shift as they are quite cheap on a few places.

Aod · 3 Feb 2015 at 19:35

Aaah fair enough!

Deluxe1 · 3 Feb 2015 at 19:36

I'm still tempted :-)

Aod · 3 Feb 2015 at 19:37

And rightly so! If I wasn't essentially destitute at the moment I'd have already hit the buy button

Asked some cavers, their recommendation:

A snip at £700 :eek:

Yeah, no.

Aod · 4 Feb 2015 at 12:55

Ouch, now that is an expensive light!

Especially as there's a guy on CPF that makes essentially the same thing for $350 + shipping!

Anyone bought a Digital Multimeter from amazon and want to give me a link.
I think I might be looking at ones more suitable for a car

oo that a single AA?

can you get some pictures of it with your hand for scale? from the info it sound very durable, and might be the perfect light to go in the tool kit with a few spare sealed eneloops.

Yeah! Its a single AA, basically why I bought it

perfect for the tool kit. Its really well made. I think its aluminium.

Here's a picture of it in my hand.

Tefal · 4 Feb 2015 at 23:03

That looks perfect

Has anyone ever used any AA to D Cell adapters?

I've got some maglites that take D size batteries, and I'd like to run them off eneloops. I know that a basic 1AA to D cell adapter is readily available... but I'm wondering about something that can put 2 or 3 AAs in parallel, keeping it at 1.5V but not being limited to the capacity of 1 AA.

I bought a couple for my mag lite but the way the rear of the maglite contacts the d battery means they wouldn't work. Would also be interested in a solution as I have everything else moved over to eneloops pretty much.

Tefal · 10 Feb 2015 at 13:19

the inforce 6vx arrived, hholy hell is it bright. and redicusly light.

button is interesting as it is completly silent

There are low self discharge (LSD) C and D cells with >4000mAh capacity available.

uchuff · 10 Feb 2015 at 16:06

So there is. Don't think my Nitecore i4 v2 will charge D's :/

silversurfer · 10 Feb 2015 at 16:41

I use LSD AA for D cell but not on a torch just normal item. They run down fast but otherwise fine

Deluxe1 · 10 Feb 2015 at 20:55

Anyone interested in a ThruNite TN4A?

Got mine for sale over at BLF.

Ah right. Yeah I guess I need to find some reviews online of one that's confirmed to work.

Same - I don't think my charger would fit an actual D cell. Hence the attraction of using eneloops inside an adapter.
