Spec me an LED Torch

That's brilliant thanks!

On your bc40 have you noticed that the surrounding beam is slightly cooler than the centre spot's surround? I looked closely and it appears to be quite possibly the reflector edge or some of the yellow from the emitter surface reflecting to the edge.

that's actually quite common Mrk, some LEDs exhibit that behaviour and some don't

mrk · 20 Oct 2011 at 20:44

Ah that's good to know then! The centre spot on the XML-L2 is not defined enough to be able to tell

There are loads of people selling silicone grease on ebay. I got a pot of Abbey silicone gun grease as I can use it on my airsoft guns as well. Came in a 20ml pot and will last a lifetime. Think it was about £4. There are cheaper ones, but I'm not sure if they are decent quality.

That's what i use on my Airsoft guns and torches too.

doesn't last that long when you use it in airsoft guns though

Actually that grease could be used in other things too, nice one!

I'm amazed a thread about a torch has made 35 pages, incredible!

in that case have a chair handy if you google the light in my pic (mcgizmo haiku)

Oh dear all this talk of the Jetbeam BC40 has led me to discover their military range! Sorely tempted by the M1X

mrk · 20 Oct 2011 at 23:26

I did browse their RRT/M range before when I heard about the brand and they did look impressive!

Bennie-Mac · 20 Oct 2011 at 23:53

Yeah the RRT3 looks like just the torch I need for day to day around the house use, looking under beds, in the roofspace etc

don't get the M1X, get the M1XM, the M1X uses the now outdated MC-E

Oh sorry i was actually thinking of that one, I just had the older one in my head. Extra 50 lumens as well

And you shouldnt be encouraging me to buy any more torches! I haven't even got the one I ordered yet! All this constant flaunting of torch porn, think of the innocent victims and their wallets!

In that case I dare you to look up how much amigafan2003s' McGizmo Haiku cost

I have just been reading through this thread and generally feel better about my life not knowing this much about torches

Really? £100 for a torch? What are you using it for?

WHY?

Why on earth would you spend that on a torch. I think my wife would devorce me and my kids disown me if I spent that much on a torch.

Aod · 21 Oct 2011 at 06:42

Because it's hand-made solid-titanium, absolutely indestructible with a lens made of monocrystalline sapphire for ultimate durability.

While not a dive-light, it's waterproof to more than 10 meters and can be submerged at 5 meters indefinitely.

The light is created to be the ultimate tool of its type, a small "Every-day-carry" torch which is designed to never leave your side.
