Nuwai 0.5watt 1xAAA (TM-310H) from AdvancedMart.com @ $19.99 for 2 (1st class USPS shipping = only $2.50)
I was suitably impressed with the River Rock 0.5w 2AAA that as soon as I heard about a 1AAA version - thanks to Roy in this thread - Is River Rock still a mystery company? - for telling me about this light - I had to get one -
well the price was right for 2......
This is all coincidentally pretty topical see this concurrent thread started by cratz2 Nuwai 0.5W lights -
Packaging - just the light with pocket clip, no batteries supplied -
Size comparison -
It is basically a cut down version of the River Rock/Nuwai 0.5watt 2xAAA
Heads view -
vs. River Rock 0.5w 2AAA
Almost as bright as the River Rock 0.5w 2AAA - almost no practical difference for me (YMMV)
vs. Dorcy 1AAA
Not surprisingly - brighter than the Dorcy 1AAA on a fresh Alkaline, brighter hotspot and brighter side-spill - but oh, that prevalent angry blue color of the Nuwai 0.5watt.
vs. Fenix L1 v2.5 (Non-Premium)
Obviously not as bright as a good 1watt Luxeon - but not bad at all for a $10 light running on a single AAA alkaline - but again that angry blue color is really emphasized against a Luxeon I with a slight blue-green tint - as with all LED lights everything is "relative" - a side-by-side comparison beamshot really tends to show up differences.
I really like the size and form factor of this light - that's the reason I more or less bought them as soon as I heard about them.
I ordered on Friday Nov/25 and AdvancedMart confirmed the purchase and even sent an USPS tracking number on that Friday - I suspect the package didn't actually go in the mail until this Monday Nov/28, and they are with me today Wed Nov/30 - fast service from AdvancedMart and USPS!
