Re: anybody use Nebo transport or highbeam?
A pair of black Nebo transport flashlights arrived today.
The HL 15G as it were.
Between $20 & $25. Mine were $23 shipped. They arrived on the 3rd day via USPS in a plain brown (padded) envelope.
First impression was how weighty the casing of this 12 volt accessory port rechargeable light is.
Then when I turned it on it was noted this is a fairly bright 125 lumen flashlight with a simple head mounted on/off twister. Knurls made it easy to grip. A bit front heavy. Plastic lens, and it's not serviceable.
The reflector is about 1/3 from the emitter out an orange peel with smooth from there. Not an easy feat.
So I went around the house observing how it lights. Not deep space cold in tint. But certainly cool. Kinda light blue. A definite spot errupts from the front. Spill is plentiful, but no feathering like you see in expensive lights. I'll test throw tonight, but I expect good things...as in at least 100'.
No bells & whistles, no programs, no levels to set. But for a flashlight meant to be charged and fogotten in the glove box until needed...not bad.
After using a Nebo high beam for a couple of years I expect this light to hold up. And the aa size 16450 (or whatever size is aa size) size rechargeable I expect it'll last a couple of hours per charge.
Size is about like a Malkoff MDC (1aa) with an MD2 head.
^^ the reflector and emitter
^^ this is in daylight.
So if you're looking for a simple, easy to use, fairly durable flashlight to help find your lug wrench, spot the puppy that ran away, while you drive around, or just light up the path while you answer the all of nature...consider the Nebo transport.
I'll post a couple of night pics after dark.
Edit:
It's dark and rainy. Great time to find out what kinda hole this light can punch through the thick, water-logged air
^^ my typical 35' shot to see how wide the spot disperses.
^^ far off spot vs close up spill pic.
^^ 10' total light pic. Whew it's got a lot of flashback.
^^ the garage a football field away pic.
^^ 200' away, plenty of light.
After about an hour of steady use...in the rain.
See, for 125 lumens it puts out a ton of light for a good long ways, all nice n wide. And not that I'd strap it to a gun, or drop it off a roof, nor go swimming with it. At the same this this isn't some toy light either.
I'd say it would be a great give away to a loved one or a non-flashoholic friend.
Bottom line: Deal!
