Funny you ask.
After going back and forth with Nitecore directly, they tell me that for 16$ payable to their paypal.cn account, that they will mail me a new housing, standard mail. As that might be a good deal to get my flashlight back into working condition, I have my own reservations. So, I'm back on the flashlight hunt, and I've never been more confused .
When I bought the D10 2 years ago, it was a no brainer.
Now, I don't see a no brainer out there ???
Any help would be appreciated.
- $50ish pricerange.
- AA for battery convenience, unless the 123 blows me away (going to invest in some eneloops for my digital camera and wouldn't mind finding a light that can share).
- I also prefer the small size 3-4", as I ETC this in my front jeans pocket, and don't want anything too ridiculous in size.
- I loved my D10, however I usually only used the min and the max settings, so I don't think that the infinite ramping is a dealbreaker.
- I liked how my D10 remembered my last known setting.
- I prefer the tailcap button over a twisty (I think) cause I use this to jog often, and think that operating it with one hand is easier done with a button appose to a twisty???
- I wouldn't mind a strobe.
- I liked on my D10 how I could get to max brightness in just a few clicks.
- I've always wanted a Fenix, so I'm looking at the LD10. Trying to stay focused on the AA and ignore the temptation of the PD10/20. Also looking at the Quark mini AA and WARMs. There's also the choice of going back to the D10, but they're harder to find now that 4sevens doesn't carry them, and I still feel slighted by Nitecore.
All suggestions appreciated.
The nitecore Defender infinity meets most of your requirement's and it's
more rugged then the D10
It has the max and minimum settings easily available by twisting the head.
It has strobe.
It has a tail button
It runs of one AA battery.
Cons:
It cost's more and I dont know where you could find one when 4 sevens no longer have them.
All of theese can also be achived by the quark AA except the programming.
And you can buy a cr123 body and put the head on it and you got yourself a pocketrocket.
