L3 Illumination's L10 Nichia 219

[CarpentryHero]

I love finally having a Nichia 219 keychain. It's an AA light, with the choice of three or four modes.
You can also get them in xpg and xpg2, also different body colours. I'll add more pics when the xpg2 arrive.
But after a week with the Nichia 219 on my keys. I love Love LOVE it

Just ordered one of these yesterday can't wait to get it

I really like the light too, gunga and I picked up the 10 pack. The mode spacing is good and the 219 tint is awesome, but the leds on all 10 of them were no where near center.

If this gets fixed I will probably pick up another 10 pack for gifts

I agree fully about the wonderful tint of these L10 219s.
I have the white and orange units.
Can't beat the price either.

 

[CarpentryHero]

The tint looks a little lighter than the 219's I've gotten in the past. If my malkoff nichia is 4500k then both my L10's are somewhere around 4600-4700k to my eyes. I'll post a pic when I'm less busy getting ready for the party tonight.
Both my 219 three modes are well centered

I'm really liking mine too, its been my beside night now since I scored it! I love the single AA form factor more and more and with cool lights like these coming out all the more reason!

 

[diesel79]

Looks like I need to order one tomorrow. I have never seen them before this thread.

 

[gunga]

Yep, LED centering was mediocre at best. Still, awesome value lights. I kept a few after gifting!

 

[jake25]

You guys can stop busting my chops about centering, I'm fixing it

 

[gunga]

Please read the second part: it's still an awesome value light and I still really like it. The centering s a pet peeve for fussy flashaholics but is not a deal breaker.

Mine is amazing. Why didn't I get the ten pack?

Note: I encountered trouble with a four year old energizer L91, but all good with eneloops.

 

[jorgen]

Great lights at a fantastic price. I think everyone should own at least one.

 

[InquisitiveInquirer]

Anyone know of a good place to get these? What's the price for them?

as per OP, sb flashlights sells them. They have a thread in CPF Marketplace too (dealer's corner) - L3 Illumination L10

 

[ssri1983]

SBflashlights (google) has them ( I am not sure naming the dealer is kosher, I think linking is not, Mods please remove the name if not allowed)

There was a promotion over at cpfmarketplace, but now they are going for $25. A second run is being done right now I think.
Just realized the first post has the info.

SBflashlights thread, there is no reason not to link to the dealer, there are certain sub forums where you are asked not to link to dealers because of the problems there have been with shills in the past.

Ooops. Totally missed that in the first post. I'm debating on getting this and a thrunite T10. hmmmm... Which to choose... I like the spacing btwn the 4 modes, but asides from that, they seem pretty similar!

 

[ouchyfoot]

I got the Nichia in white and orange. I would have liked to have gotten white and pink, so I could swap heads and make a "Nichia Lipstick".

With the L10 there's no memory, choice of three or four modes AND the option of neutral tint.
The T10 has memory, three modes, and only one body color choice
