    Giving a Flashlight as a gift, opinions.

    I can't keep a Romi N3 or N3II for more than a couple months before family and friends detach them from me. In fact I'm trolling for one now...

    romisen rc n3 ii vs rc n3

    I've had a couple of both (hint), the single-mode is a little brighter. N3 II's dual-mode was more useful.:hitit: bogey out

    L2p, L2m and L2m 2009

    great start, exact configuration that started my SolarForce huffing habit... personally: I'd ditch the tailcap (kinda spendy) until you've had a chance to play around a bit.
