I recently acquired another Pentagon 6 volt light with a 3 watt LED and thought "wow, folks must have really been excited when that 100 lumen bar was reached".
I think these were rated at around 110 lumens. The thing I found so exciting beyond the fact that they seem brighter than the numbers suggest, but how neutral the beam was on the Luxeon'd version. Now the other two are on the cool side, yet no blue, no green, no pink, or hint of anything other than a mid-daylight mimic-ing output.

Looks red to these eyes
Big ole hotspot, decent spill
Good throw too, all things considered.
The anodizing was super, with a nice dull finish. Glass lens. Gold plated parts. Near silent clicky. Double o-rings.
A fine addition to the 6 volt dailys.
So, have you got a blast from the past? One that even by todays standards still keeps up?
Let's see 'em!!
Edit: Dratz!! The tinypic site closed so gone are the old photos.
