Oldest LED lights you own

[Coolhand68]

Couple of older Surefires...L2, E2L, L4, LX2. Also have an old INOVA X5 that had the awful blue tint.

Work like first day 👌

I have one of the old INNOVA 5 led ones around here somewhere. Early mid 90s I'm guessing.

I have an Innova 5 LED also! Still works.
Keep on desk in basement workshop.

 

[DaveTheDude]

Oh, I suspect we all have one of those somewhere...

Some of us have every color led they came in 🤣

Mine was in a drawer with a bunch of other random stuff lol, still works too! So dim and blue, how did we ever think these were any good??

 

[Monocrom]

Yup, I've got an X5.... Somewhere. One of the first serious EDC lights I ever bought about 20 years ago.

I'm waiting to find a NOS UV one that is USA made.

The X5 is bombproof...after WW III the X5 and a few Malkoff's will be the only ones still working.

Are you sure that x5 is not the UV model?

I can honestly say I have never owned one of those lights

How can you tell U.S. made ?

 

[letschat7]

The company that makes it. Not Niteize.

My oldest is a Pentagon right-angle AA-powered flashlight.

Cute, with a little compass in the tailcap that can't find N.

Not terribly bright, but ideal for clipping onto a shirt pocket when the power goes out. Too bad they got sued into nonexistence.

Yeah.... Too bad the judge in the case was obscenely corrupt, and handed SureFire a de-facto victory. Despite SF not actually having proven their claims against PL. Judge wasn't even disbarred afterwards.

Here are some old lights I still have around. They all work. The light on the right is a Skilhunt M150. I was doing a size comparison. Yes, the Coast is a twist zoomie.

 

[ABTOMAT]

I don't have it any more, but I used to have a Tekna Night Eye. That may have been the first commercial LED light period. Early '90s maybe?

Presently I have an original SF U2 and a brass Peak AAA.

Hey, I found a photo I took years ago. It had a large, dim red LED and a titanium sleeve around the plastic body.

The oldest on hand...

Surefire L1-RD that I use almost everyday.

My oldest is still going strong
