    Who besides me also likes warm white lights (3000k)?

    I have a few lights that are 3500 HCRI...Malkoff MD2, 2 Quark mini's, and a Quantum DD. Love them all.

    Just ordered the Astolux M02. Not sure what it's called but has the rainbow colored heat treatment and looks great. Available in XPG-2 and 3, Nichia 219b. I already have plenty of 10180 lights but couldn't pass this up.

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    Just a Maratac Peanut. It's small, I like the split ring attachment, and it has an orange peel reflector. I was carrying a Quantum DD but wanted something lighter and smaller.

    I agree, my Quantum DD has the HCRI 3500k XP-G, and I love it.

    maratac peanut flashlight

    I wouldn't want to say the head doesn't wiggle at all but it seems pretty solid to me. I agree about not being concerned about the tint. All my other flashlights are neutral or warm. With this light I was just looking for something that puts out a lot of light in a small package, and this does...

    On the Peanut you switch out the head with the charging port. The Peanut also has and aluminum orange peel reflector which even though shorter than the Astrolux, may be the reason they weight the same.

    I think this one is a keeper. With the orange peel refector it does have a nicely defined hot spot and easily lit up the neighbors house across the street. I also like that it can tail stand, something I always look for in a flashlight. I made a paracord lanyard with the small Nite Ize biner so...

    maratac peanut flashlight

    Saw this thread while camping and was able to get online and order one. Was waiting for me when I got home today. The only light I have to compare it to is my Quantum DD and it makes the DD look huge. Nice finish and the tint is white. Can't wait for it to get dark.

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Getting my wife and grand daughter settled in for the night. They are camping out in the back yard.

    Which of your lights don't get used?

    It would have been my Quantum DD, but like NoNotAgain advised, I sent it to Vinh and now I love it. Now it would be my Surefire M2. Too big and heavy.

    I purchased two Zebralights, boy am I sorry now

    It wasn't his complaint, but the way he worded it. Rather than ask for help or suggestions, he was more interested in slamming a good company. If you have a problem or question everyone here will be more than glad to help, but he was just rude. The fact that he has not responded back and made an...

    Notable wildlife encounters?

    We were camping in Yosemite and one night I and my daughter where in a meadow where I had set up my telescope. I don't remember what I was looking at, but was annoyed that someone had let their dogs run loose and where running around my daughter and I. When I finally looked away from the scope I...

    The Lounge 2016

    Re: The Lounge I saw that he's off playing in southern Calif. but would like to thank Vinh for the work he did on my Quantum DD. Got it today and couldn't be happier.

    Show off your little lights!

    I'm done playing. I had already mentioned I had polished the Quantum DD and it looks great. A few years ago when 4sevens released their limited run of HCRI lights, I fell in love with the tint. Worried that they may not be around forever, I purchased a couple of the XPG2 HCRI warm LED's from...
