    Rovyvon Aurora A24 Ti first impressions/mini review

    Thanks for your reply Jon, great in depth review of the aluminum version. The review mentions PWM; I'm not sure if the Ti version is different but it states on Rovyvon's website that the A24 is constant current, and that's what it looks like to me. I'll also mention that this is a Cree emitter...

    Rovyvon Aurora A24 Ti first impressions/mini review

    Hey folks, it's been a long time since I've been an active member here, but a recent acquisition has refreshed my old flashaholic tendencies ;). This light isn't perfect, but it is pretty awesome. Easiest way for me to do this is a good ole' pro con list: Pro: Very nicely machined TITANIUM...

    Fenix E99 TI Limited Edition

    Just got my engraved E99 Ti. Replacing a 4sevens Atom for keychain duty. This has been the first light I've gotten in quite a while and the initial impressions are positive. Compared to the Atom, its a noticeably bigger light (still quite small enough for a keychain) but weighs only 0.17 oz...

    quark mini AA & CR123 users thread

    Does this light have a spring? I have the EZAA but I've been afraid to use eneloops because it seems like the twist action would crush the battery (not good for batteries that will be used over and over again). I'd like to switch to this one for the extra features and use rechargables, but just...

    Best single-AA lights.... your nominations please

    I'd say this is a hard question to answer without a specific application in mind. As in "Best EDC" or "Most versatile," etc, because I would have a different choice for each. For example, the Zebralight is an awesome, compact light that is great for reading and can be used as a headlamp. That...

    *REVISED* NiteCore EZ AA Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, PICS & more!

    Actually, I have been using it as a keychain light ever since I got it over a month ago. I keep my keys and other keychain tools on a Civilian Labs retractor, which serves the dual purpose of keeping everything in compact order in my pocket and preventing me from losing anything. Honestly, the...

    The new little NiteCore: "EZAA" Part 2

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I've decided to use the light as is for a while. The foam and threads have been softening up a bit, my attitude as toward typical use has shifted a bit, and as a result, I find myself really liking the light. Here's my philosophy: I mostly need a low/general light...

    The new little NiteCore: "EZAA" Part 2

    Hi guys, I need a little help and decided to try this thread before I start my own or try to send the light back to 7777. I just received this light today. The problem with my light is that it takes WAY too much turning to get to high, and too much pressure. In fact, I cant achieve high with one...

    BessieBenny's Budget LED (DX/KD etc) Flashlights Review Roundup (Part X)

    Re: single battery light costs: AAA $15 AA $50 ?? why so much? Simple answer: Because people buy them. I think psychologically, a AAA light is a "keychain light" that has more limited brightness and runtime due to the inherent limitations of the AAA cell (although these lights have certainly...

    The new little NiteCore: "EZAA" Part 2

    Re: The new little NiteCore: "EZAA" Part 2 Still waiting on mine (regular, not warm). I for one am glad that the "low" ended up at 10 lumens rather than 15, given that there are only 2 settings on this light. If it is a true 10 lumens, I know what to expect as I had an HDS Basic 60 back in the...

    EDC single AA

    I really love the D10, but this is precicely the reason I opted to switch it out as pocket EDC back to my L0D Q4 (but hopefully to an EZ AA i have on order). I didn't find the D10 too hard to keychain carry, but the EZ should be even easier (smaller) while still providing the capacity/economical...

    Toughest EDC Folder?

    Well, you asked for a "last for ever" knife, and you edc a Delica... how bout one of the Salt series (Salt I or Pacific match the Delica and Endura respectively). True, they don't have the steel liners, which could reduce toughness theoretically, but the FRN is quite strong (I've dropped mine on...

    Low-calorie sweeteners may make people fat

    I don't mean to start any major controversy here, but I will say that my 5+ years as a server in the food-service industry anecdotaly corroborates this finding. That is to say, the largest people seem to guzzle down diet coke after diet coke. Almost as soon as I put it down, I have to grab...

    What is your 1xAA choice?

    YMMV, but I've had no problems with my D10 to date as far as weird switch behavior is concerned. So far, it's as advertised. I thought about going with one of the newer Fenix single AA lights, but I'm glad I went with the Nitecore for the typical reasons (silent, excellent piston switch; much...

    What is your 1xAA choice?

    +1 on the D10. Its actually the light that I credit with bringing me back to this site after a long hiatus. I used to carry an L0D CE on my keychain, which has served me well. However, I live in a city, where the little AAA light has trouble competing with street lamps, and am now commuting by...
