    Astrolux A01 different versions?

    So are there different versions of the A01? I ordered 3 A01's roughly a month ago (one copper and 2 alu) and bought another two aluminum ones on sale 5 days later. The first order arrived 2 weeks ago while the other one was backordered due to the sale. I finally received the second order today...

    Looking for AAA light with L-M-H modes

    The A01 itself seems reasonably well built. The only reason I think mine broke was because mine was the much heavier copper version so it hit the ground with a lot more force than the aluminum one. The aluminum version should serve you fine for normal use. I still think they are a good deal and...

    Looking for AAA light with L-M-H modes

    Hi all, many years ago I came to CPF to look for a nice edc light. I eventually settled on the original Titanium Innovations IlluminaTi, which I've been quite happy with and carried for over 6 years now. However, recently I've gotten back to lurking on CPF and wanted to try some of the newer...

    Rainbow Halo?

    I just bought a solarforce l2p with a single mode R5 drop-in, and I noticed there was a rainbow ring a small distance away from the beam. I never saw this with any other flashlights before, so is this common with drop-in/lego flashlights? I'm not complaining and think it looks quite nice, I'm...

    newbie looking for a 1xAA light

    Re: Looking for a 1xAA flashlight Unfortunately I don't have a ld10 to compare against, but the quark's construction is solid and should hold up fine to normal use. Maybe the fenix is built better, but the quark certainly isnt lacking. :D Both work with standard AA's, although I would...

    SF G2 upgrades

    If you want an edc, then I would go with the pd30. It should be easier to carry around, and having multiple output levels would make it more useful.

    newbie looking for a 1xAA light

    Re: Looking for a 1xAA flashlight The 3 main contenders that almost everyone will suggest will be the fenix ld10, quark AA, and the nitecore d10. Out of the 3, the quark probably has the biggest following. It has an r5 cree emitter, compatability with other bodies, and the ability to take 14500...

    What is your preferred keychain light form factor?

    AAA's. For me a keychain light is more based on aesthetics than function, since its going to serve as backup for my edc anyways. I know that most lights using CR123's have more functions and higher output, but they just look too fat and stubby. :laughing: For my needs, a single AAA-based light...

    Longest runtime for a p60 drop-in?

    Yeah, I did already buy the g2. I would keep it and buy another g2l if I didnt have a budget on this. :p And I saw the malkoff, if I had the money for it I could have bought a better flashlight in the first place. :D So am I jumping to conclusions or does it seem like there just isnt any cheap...

    Longest runtime for a p60 drop-in?

    I'm getting my dad a surefire g2 for christmas, but I'm worried that the ~1 hour runtime of the light would be considered short for an average person used to maglites that provide hours of weak yellow light. Because of that, I decided to buy a led drop-in for it also. So which drop-ins are...

    Newer Energizer Rechargables?

    I just finished reading the fake eneloops thread, and I noticed that the newer 2300mah energizer rechargables that I had lying around had the slightly squarish (+) button with vents, which people consider to be the defining feature of real eneloops. They are also made in Japan, so could they be...
