Flashlights in TV shows and movies (Part 4)

There's a long handled triple head light that someone should be able to ID, in the "nevermore" Episode of "The 100"
http://www.cwtv.com/shows/the-100/nevermore/?play=3a21cc86-7bd6-4c70-bb78-2b8a2c4b4855

At 22 minutes.

Poppy, I can't get it to skip to 22 with out all the commercials. lol I will have to wait till I have some more time to try again.

I was afraid of that, my computer must have a cookie set that lets me resume right at the scene. At any rate it shouldn't be more than two minutes of commercials.

I tried to capture it and enhance it.

Looks like Fenix TK45 to me.

Thanks guys

The show takes place 100 years or more from now, but they have come down from space stations to a post apocalyptic world, so it is fitting that they would be carrying the most advanced/futuristic looking lights from our time.

To be fair they was still using the Fenix TK45 in Prometheus. It's nice to know they are still using XP-G R5 in the future.

Indeed. Also that they can get AA batteries that far into the future!

Saw Captain America: Civil War last night and saw two lights. One looks like a 2xAAA, looks smooth like a Preon, but could be something else.

There's also a bigger light, more TK75 sized. Hard to see exact shape of the light but in one quick shot, it looked like a M6 bezel, but if it was a M6 the body was doctored to look different.

Does anyone here remember an old Sci Fi series called 'SPACE:1999'? Produced by Gerry Anderson in the mid seventies and starring Martin Landau and Barbara Bain? Here's the sort of thing...



Moonbase Alpha in all it's glory.

With all the futuristic paraphernalia in each scene it is easy to miss a prop for what it is, but even as a kid I recognised this for what it was.





It is used as their version of a hypo, for all futuristic injections are made with light, it would seem.

But this is not one of the props that a designer laboured long and hard over - in fact you could buy them in any medical suppliers (in those days)

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you The Twinlite (manufactured by Eschmann in England)




Here it is next to my EDC for comparison (ARMYTEK PRIME C1 PRO-BTW)



It is made of brass and chromed to within an inch of it's life - a very attractive little light. Gotta love those old lensed PR bulbs. Feeding it lithium primary AA cells at the moment - Dr. Russell would have approved!

BTW - the perspex tip is one of two you get with it - this pointy one is known as the Auro-Nasal Illuminator (Which reminds me, I must get around to disinfecting mine!)

Thanks for the flashback. When I was a kid this was a the coolest show I had ever seen.

WOW! Cool post and light! I remember that show...I'm a little foggy on the details, but I definitely remember when it was on TV. Damn, I'm old, LOL!!!! :duh2:

I actually found it on YouTube and had to watch an episode.
It's not the coolest show ever anymore...

I think it's still ok as long as you don't watch season 2 - that's when it really started to challenge any intelligent beings.

The one Xemo had? Pretty sure it wasn't and TK75

I bought the whole series on dvd for my mother 2 years ago...it's still in the package. Loved Barbara Bain and her husband"s characters, even when they were in Mission Impossible

Ironically, the Mission Impossible Producers only wanted her. She insisted her husband have a part. So, they created the Rollin Hand character. Ironically, Martin Landau was a big reason the series was a success.

I was also pretty sure the little light was a Preon.
