I like this spread-out bowling pin-type layout, a lot. No one light is fully blocking any other. It's a nice arrangement - and a great collection of lights you've managed to amass (in a very short time, at that).

Good work, brother. Enjoy your new lights!

Thanks! Lots of fun and use to be had out of the new Eagtacs

I would say my favorite light of my collection so far is the MX25L3C. The Nichias on that light just put out such a beautiful beam

The ZebraLight SC62w is still my favorite EDC light, with the D25LC2 (Nichia) and SRT3 close behind (I rotate through all three on a normal basis). I like my EC11 too, the UI on all of the Explorer-series lights is one of my favorites (have an EC21 on the way too!).

I thought the two lights on the left were Olight opens.

Hi Valineurheilija,
They do look identical-if you are interested, FourSevens is clearing out their stock of Preon Penlights in Orange and brown for only $30 each, and if you use the CPF discount code you get another 12% off for a final price of $26.33!
I saw a rumor that David(founder of FourSevens) was working with Olight too...if that is true it would explain the similarity.

My two Luter lights from Luter in England. The one on the right is a 18650 triple mod and has a power bank capability. The one on the left is a quad mod 26650 light.

Thanks but shipping costs to Finland make the lights the same price as buying them from here

From a purely lazy and materialistic point of view, what's better than the UPS truck showing up with your Amazon order on your day off? :thumbsup:

My new Archer A2 V2 and Eneloops to feed it with.

Quick unprofessional review: Fit and finish of the Archer are fine. Build quality seems good, but it does not feel like a tank like my Surefire 6PX Defender. Too bad. Slight battery rattle side to side if you shake it enough. Don't care about that. The momentary is great! Nice firefly. Nice mode spacing. And the 450 lumen max is bright! Took it into a windowless room in the basement and compared it to my Surefire 320 lumen 6PX and it was clearly brighter. Nice beam and hotspot too, as far as I could tell in a small room. For $45 it's a nice 2xAA light.

Just curious why go for the archer over the neutron it gets 408 lumens on max with the single battery and 730 lumens with the 2 AA?

Saw more bad reviews than good ones on the Neutron, and on more than one site.

The Archer had only good reviews, except for the battery rattle. And it fit my wants and budget.

No worries just was curious I was in the same boat wanted to build my aa and AAA collection but I decided to do the neutron I can't complain don't know what people were saying but I like the thrunite lights

 

[Str8stroke]

Rattle batteries in a light? I just put a small wrap of scotch tape on the batteries till they stop rattling. Rattle = :hairpull:

I read several "reviews" and posts about the Neutron being defective upon arrival, and the problems with the light not corrected yet.

I'm glad yours works. I does look like a nice light.

Tape... on my new Eneloops...

Won't I get in trouble for that?

I roll up a piece of paper the length of light, tighter then inside diameter, insert and and unroll in tube.
Paper stays put pretty much.
