What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

**Marfenix** · 10-26-2009, 09:41 AM

A second Fenix P1D because it is getting replaced by the PD10 that I will get as well as soon as it is on the market.

**Hogokansatsukan** · 10-26-2009, 10:35 AM

An SR3.

**javajoe** · 10-26-2009, 10:37 AM

^did you take a picture on your dog's back/side?

Lets see the rest of him/her. Our dog is the reason why I get to use my flashlight every day.

**USACelt** · 10-26-2009, 11:21 AM

The last one I just got was a Solarforce L2M with 3 mode drop-in and I love it. Reason I got it ? I wanted it. That was the only argument I could make to the girlfriend, as she rolled hers eyes and walked out of the room. BTW, sbflashlights is on the ball. I ordered Friday, in my hands monday, fast service. Excuse me as I go off to pace and wait impatiently for my Preon.

**ateallthepies** · 10-26-2009, 11:46 AM

Last ordered is a Fenix P1D and it should be delivered tomorrow

Next on the list is an MC-E light, probably a Jetbeam M1X.

I just got my P1D last week and it is an amazing light, bright as heck for such a small light. Keep it on my keychain.

I also got the Jetbeam M1X about a month back. You wont regret it! Wait another month or so, supposedly a new version of the M1X is coming out, called the M1X V4. Dont think theres any specs out yet though.

Flatline, thank you for that. I've had some minor issues with this in the past.
Pretty much kept the NiMh's for my everyday affordable lighting needs. At least when I'm working and the $$ are flowing towards me!

-DBS V3 3SM Cree R2 WD with an Aspherical Head
-CL1H V4 1SM-2 Cree R2 WD

Why, cause I like the upgrade potential and versatility in the Dereelights. I needed to have a good thrower and and good short range flood light. And I need to be able to carry both at the same time to give me options at work.

**dagored** · 10-28-2009, 08:22 AM

This has got to stop. I now have a black Muyshondt Aeon being shipped. Could not pass it up. What's wrong with me.

Wow... you got hit... HARD! lol

**Nickyan** · 10-28-2009, 09:08 AM

Hey!

After too many mediocre DX lights

my first decent lights are:

TK11 R2
H60
EZ123
D20

and a Quark AA NW as well as an EX10 on its way.

Wanted the Quark to have a warm tint light and the EX10 as an EDC.

And thinking bout getting a LF3XT and iTP EOS A3 and maybe a TK20 and an H60w... and selling the TK11 and the D20 and the H60 maybe.

**rhotondm** · 10-29-2009, 04:56 AM

Just bought a Malkoff MD4 Wildcat. Why, I decided to jump on the Malkoff bandwagon. Looking forward to a huge wall of light.

**piper** · 10-29-2009, 06:22 AM

The newest light in my collection is the Noma (Brinkman) Armormax style light. $20 for a Cree XP-E single AA light that puts out about 60 lumens. I couldn't resist. This is the best $20 light I've ever had. Really nice smooth beam with a fair bit of throw too. Best of all it was available at a local Canadian tire store. Can't beat cash & carry.

**Rewind** · 10-29-2009, 07:11 AM

Last one I bought was the Husky 2d cell when it was on sale at HD. I got a freebie 3aaa from HF that works but is junk.

Don't worry, even though I'm new I'm looking to upgrade. I think my first real one is going to be a Quark AA2 Tactical.

**Launch Mini** · 10-29-2009, 08:13 PM

Nooby here,
Just bought a Raw NS .
Actually the Ti was recommended by a buddy, but since I am just stepping into the flashlight world, starting out with the NS.
I will probably "upgrade' later, but figured this was a cool way to start out.
I see this might lead into another hobby of collectibles for me.

**CaNo** · 10-29-2009, 10:58 PM

EagleTac T100C2

Why? I wanted to experience a 18650 light. Also it my not be the best thrower for it's size and cell class, but it sure does a good job out-throwing my 3D Terralux Maglite Aspheric! (at a fraction of the size

)

Next up? Maybe a Jetbeam or Tiablo... we'll see...

Just right now I looked at it again, and noticed there is a compartment for 2 cr123a batteries on the bottom aside from the pouch for the flashlight. That is such a great idea! Pretty nifty!

**The 8th Man** · 10-30-2009, 05:20 AM

Just ordered the new Energizer Night Strike and Energizer Night Strike compact from Amazon, I know they may not be real high end as far as output or function but they sure do look cool, they remind me of something you might see used in an Alien movie or something like that. Can't wait to get them.

**Paulinski** · 10-30-2009, 05:25 AM

I ordered the Quark Titanium Tactical.

**tonyk007** · 10-30-2009, 07:42 AM

I haven't purchased my last light yet! Hopefully gonna get lots more.

My two most recent are the Liteflux LF3XT and the iTP A3 Upgraded Stainless. Liteflux quality and amazing versatility with its programmability.

Be gentle with me cause I'm very new.

Cheers

**Hogokansatsukan** · 10-30-2009, 08:08 AM

Actually it's a piece of hair on hide from a cow I use as a backdrop... or it's my back

Tactical Quark AA Neutral

Why:
-AA batteries
-neutral
-already had the regular neutral version and a TK20 (my previous 2 purchases)
-camping and work purposes (0.2 lumen is perfect to work in the corner of a dark room without asking the operator to put everything away)

What is your impression of the LF3XT after some usage? I have been thinking on getting this light right now, but do not know how it compares to the likes of per-say the Nitecore D10 R2, Quark AA, Quark Ti R5, etc... If I buy it, I don't want it to be a shelf queen u know?

I have an LF2XT, how does this compare to that? Exactly the same? Different (aside from size and cell)?

But all in all, you have great tastes for a new kid on the block! You didn't waste anytime at all! haha

LOL!
All in all, that idea is still genius. That is not your company is it? That came up with the pouches?

**sunfire** · 11-01-2009, 10:50 AM

Maglite 2AA 3W for indoor general use.

**dcycleman** · 11-01-2009, 11:49 AM

saint minimus, night hikes and camping

**Harry999** · 11-01-2009, 12:53 PM

I've just ordered several. The last one I received was the Fenix HP10 headlamp. I got it because the Surefire Minimus is not being shipped abroad to the UK. I use it to train in the garden in the evening (when I have the energy after work).

I just purchased a cheap energiser headlamp that has a red led and followed up with an order for a more sophisticated energiser headlamp that has two red leds. I intend to wear both to read in bed at night. They have no battery packs and so are comfortable to wear when lying down(plus you get about 50hrs usable reading light off 6xAAA for both).

Just placed an order for the Xmas Olight pack - a titanium Olight EOS A3 and a M20 Premium Warrior. I already have the M20 Ti Warrior plus a Olight M30 but wanted to get a better thrower. I have the Surefire LX2 but wanted to see what the M20 premium Warrior can do and for the price of the Xmas pack couldn't resist. To be honest its a substitute while I wait for the Olight K90 Intimidator to come out.

So for now I can say honestly while I can't seem to stop myself buying lights I don't intend to buy anymore until the K90 Intimidator comes out - honest!

**BlueBeam22** · 11-01-2009, 12:57 PM

My most recent LED purchase was the Rayovac Sportsman Xtreme 4W 3C CREE XR-E LED flashlight. The reason why I bought it was because of the excellent pictures by CPF member mikekoz in this thread (see post #18) showing how it easily smokes the Task Force CREE in throw. My other reason was that is uses an optic; I like the intense rays of light that optics tend to produce.

I am really impressed by it and have found it to be an amazing thrower. It blows away my Task Force 2C CREE, and I like to carry it in my pocket sometimes because even though it is long, it is very slim and fits nicely. Once again, it is a really incredible thrower!

My new Rayovac:

**John_Galt** · 11-01-2009, 01:39 PM

Quark Titanium... Bragging rights, basically, but the new LED was a plus too.

**crizyal** · 11-01-2009, 07:27 PM

Just purchased a Nitecore EZAA of the Market Place. I picked it up for a gift for my sister. She asked me for a good reliable light that is pretty bright for emergencies. I figured that I would put a Energizer lithium primary in it so she wouldn't have any leaky battery problems.
