Spec me an LED Torch

[Aod]

That's my Pentagonlight Molle

Bit of a shame about it really, Surefire sued Pentagonlight over some patent infringement and they went out of business. which is unfortunate as their products were quite nice.

Yup, I have a Flex and a Prime coming. From his last post I think we'll be lucky to see them this side of christmas. Doesn't look like manufacturing has started yet

I thought I'd be the only one on here getting one - I really liked the design and its also nice to help someone setup a good idea. That website is great. What colour are you going to go with?

it depends how small you want it and what batteries you're willing to use.
you can get torches which use ultra-tiny lithium-rechargeables that are as bright as a full-sized torch (albeit not for very long )

for something that runs on standard AAAs, the Fenix LD01 and the iTP A3 EOS are pretty damn bright.

<edit>
The A3 is also available in Stainless-Steel and Titanium

Someone tell me why this should not be bought within the next hour?

Friend is looking for a dog walking torch... lighting up alley ways basically. Max budget £40. Any recommendations?

If he is only lighting up alleyways to see where he is going a cheap one from tescos would do the job fine.

But if he is a using it to feel more protected and see more of his surroundings get one of these.

Could hit a bad guy over the head with one of these things so I am sure he would feel safe, and it is bright and waterproof.

Lol, i think that might just be the worst torch in the thread

Look at that padding! You could kill a horse with that thing. You wouldn't even need to turn the thing on when you go down the alleyway cause anyone down the alleyway will have cleared out as soon as they seen that badass torch.

My Sky Ray 3800 3 x XM-L arrived yesterday, it was painful waiting for it to get dark before I turned it on for maximum wow effect.
My god this thing is bright, I took some beam shots compared to my old ssc p7 light but I need some help taking photos to get a fair picture.
Do I need to alter some settings as it automatically adjusted itself to the light and the image just gets darker the lighter the picture?

And then both my sd card readers which have been dodgy for a while decided to pack up, I hit my head on the underneath of my desk trying to connect them to the rear usb slots and then snapped them both in a fit of RAAAGE.

Where did you get it from?

that torch has a brilliant spec for the money

 

[darael]

This is the torch I went for in the end, not from that buyer though: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110724156894

My only problem with it, is it has a small yellow tinge around the outer edge of the beam.

that sounds like Chromatic Aberration, not much you can do about it i'm afraid.

That's why I bought it! It should easily replace both Ultrafire C8 and SolarForce L2 for me especially the 11hr battery life on low

I also have an sf xpg r5 p60 dropin if anyone wants it?

lol i have just ordered the jetbeam bc40...really like the spec especially waterproof to 2m, scratch proof lens and holster.

i have some 18650 batteries already on order.... would these be suitable (seem to get good reviews) or do i need to be considering something else.
