I've used it on several occasions when picking my daughter up from school. She may be in a small crowd of people and talking (not watching for me!), so I hit the croud with the strobe from my Quark Mini123Ti, or Nitecore D11 and usually a couple from the crowd will notice and look my way...
Hey StarHalo,
Just wondering what's up with the "Stanley" photo as your signature? I worked for an alarm company that was bought out by Stanley and they closed the doors to our office that day, no notice, no severance pay, nada! Fortunatly, a neighboring franchise alarm company came over...
I usually desire an EDC that's 14500 capable, and slimmish. I've been quite pleased with my JetBeam MKII I.B.S. which I EDC'd for years. It's diameter is only 20mm! I just compaired it with the Nitecore D11 I'm currently EDC'ing and it's got a tighter hotspot than the D11. Its about equal (to my...
How cool! I found a hidden "beacon" mode in an old Jetbeam CL-E v1.? I have an RRT-0 R2 at the house. I'll check to see if it's got it when I get home later!
Jash,
Does the TK60 out throw the TK41? I see a couple of posts back you said it seems to have a tighter hotspot... I'm trying to decide between the TK41, TK60 and Jetbeam BC40 based on which has the best throw. Seems like the 2 fenix's have the better throw (at almost twice the price) over the...
Re: How many lights do you EDC?
Four here at work:
Fenix LD01ss on keychain
Nitecore D11 w/14500 on my belt (previously a Jetbeam MkII I.B.S.)
Quark Mini123 Ti S3 in my shirt pocket
Preon Revo ss in my back pants pocket
This isn't counting the 7 or 8 in my laptop bag!
When I'm not at...
Hey all,
Just looking on the BatteryJunction site for D Ni-Mh batteries... mucn higher mah capacity than the energizer rechargables... who knew!!
Anyway, the Tenergy D10000 mah batteries were listed at $7.29ea. while the Titanium D 12000 mah were only $6.95. Are the Tenergys more accurate with...
Versatility. 2 123 primaries or an 18650, 14500, or 16340 Li-Ion rechargable.... I've got a few of each for other lights. I like being able to use whatever's at hand.. and if I am out in the woods, I'm gonna have several lights with multiple battery types anyway. Nice to have options!
The AA body also holds a 14500 (3.7 v Li-Ion), and the 1/123 with a li-ion rechargable is 3.7 , as well as the 18650. They all seem to work fine. I've not run one long enough to drop below 3.0 v though. I guess it would quit working before the batteries protection circuit kicked in at 2.9 v...
Quark Tactical 123/2 with AA, 18650, and 123 bodies, and the Right angle prism reflector and the filter set. Why? Because I could put the prism and red filter on it an have a modern version of the old Military right angle flashlight... (that's what I told myself anyway!) for the tac-vest. Lots...
I noticed the serial number on my light matches the one in the Jetbeam website photo's... Whew hew!!! Mine must be the one they used for the photo shoot!!!! NOT. I think they all have the same serial number on the body.
Got a Black "stealth" Preon Kit this a.m. (if you don't count the 2-3 times I unwrapped it after everyone was in bed and played with it... still a kid at heart I guess) :whistle:. and have a Jetbeam RRT-0 hopefully shipping soon. It's been on backorder since the 15th. :popcorn:
My mom got my 9...
In light of the frequent news tid-bits on the growing debt, especially towards China, and the Dow dive yesterday, I wondered if it wouldn't be prudent to make my next few light investments in American owned and produced LED flashlights. (unless of course, 4sevens and Bugoutgear's owners make...
