    Six months with Jetbeams....

    Ok first couple of months they were fantastic. No complaints. Lights in question were an RRT-0 and a Jet-I Pro V3. After a couple of months, the Jet-I Pro V3 just quit working. It works great for a while but it's a piece of junk designed for a short life span. The RRT-0 kept going...

    Reputable Australian Dealers?

    Not sure but the US Postal Services flat rate Global Priority box which allows up to 4 lbs / 2 kg goes for about $54 these days. It was about $30 to $35 for the same box a couple of years ago.

    Reputable Australian Dealers?

    I'd suggest Jason at Joint Pacific Trading. But because I'm an American married to an Aussie, I can order from US dealers when I'm in Texas :P

    What is so great about surefire's?

    I've tried other lights, most recently a NiteCore Defender Infinity, but none compare to Surefire. Surefires work and Surefires are user friendly. Surefires are designed to be ergonomic and operate according to KISS principles. Surefire lights come with a lifetime no questions asked warranty...

    what flashlight for airline pilot.....?

    Forgot to mention, I ordered two of the Nitecore Defender 1 x AA lights, hopefully they will be ideal for this work. Unfortunately I'm about to disappear for months the day after they arrive in the mail so won't be able to report on how useful they are.

    what flashlight for airline pilot.....?

    The best one is the Surefire A2 with a white low beam and if red is desired put a flip up lens cover on it. Downside is the A2 uses CR123A's which are expensive in Oz and CASA regulations prohibit carriage of more than two spare lithium batteries. The A2 has both low and high settings with an...

    HDS/Ra - Ra Twisty information and availability?

    Thank you all for the rapid responses, I wasn't aware of another thread already in place. I intend to get one of these even if a 2xAA tube is delayed or unavailable. It looks like it should be nice and simple and idiot proof. Richard

    HDS/Ra - Ra Twisty information and availability?

    Back in the USA for a short while and it's time for my biannual CPF post. Does anyone know if the Ra Twisty is available yet? I would like to preorder one but can't do that because I don't know where I'll be at delivery time. Also curious if this light will have a pocket clip and if anyone has...

    Kroma Tail Switch Failure

    I'm in Australia at the moment. I would have mailed the light back to SF before leaving but the failure occurred the night before leaving and I had to be out of the house before sunrise the next morning. One thing I did notice since going back to a pair of A2 Aviators is how much better the...

    Kroma Tail Switch Failure

    Ok so I'm leaving the USA in about 11 hours and will be gone for months and the push button on my Kroma tailcap switch has failed several times tonight leaving it as a twisty only for reliable function. I'm leaving this light at home now and will take two Surefire A2's instead. Needless to say...

    SF KROMA - Disappointed, Is is just me?

    AndyTiedye, Yes it appears that the Kroma is the best multicolored light out there if you actually need multiple colors. But the white output of the Kroma still isn't as good as the A2 Aviator. Also the twisty/clicky tailswitch on the Kroma is now getting a lot easier to use with time so the...

    The Kroma Zone: Register Your Light Here

    I was going to get a Mil Spec but decided a regular Kroma would be more suited to my needs, so I got the red/white/blue Kroma Mine is # A14912 Richard

    SF KROMA - Disappointed, Is is just me?

    Flashdark, The A2's tailcap works the same way the Kroma one does although on the A2 both the twisty and the button seem to have a longer travel making it a bit more easy to control. Richard

    SF KROMA - Disappointed, Is is just me?

    Thus far mine looks like what I and a lot of other people have always needed for work since 1984. Richard

    Trying to decide if I should buy a Surefire Kroma

    The blue works for spotting fluid leaks, especially red tinted hydraulic fluids. I have a Kroma Mil Spec on order and based on reports I've read I suspect the low settings will still be pretty bright for reading charts...most likely will have to filter the low beams through the fingers just...

    U2 / A2 Fence

    It lost all credibility with me the instant someone said it was "too dim for a map light"...plus the continual references to camping, as though camping is in the same league as serious business. Richard

    U2 / A2 Fence

    I think that there are forum members here who buy a new light every time they can afford one, and other forum members who study the experience of others in order to avoid wasting money on a collection of lights. White light that everybody loves tends to suck for identifying certain...

    Can't decide between a U2 and Kroma...

    I voted with my wallet on this one and preordered a Mil Spec Kroma because I think the Kroma might replace multiple A2's. The only low level I have no use for on the Mil Spec Kroma is the IR, but since it will take a while for the light to arrive I might figure out a use for the IR beam while...

    Kroma...

    The white A2 is my most used light too, closely followed by my red A2, so I preordered one of the Mil Spec Kromas yesterday from tacticalsupply.com and am hoping it duplicates the output levels of the A2 rather than having an excessively high output on the low setting like most other lights do...

    Question for Peter, Any Chance of a Red ARC-AAA

    Peter Gransee, Are you likely to produce a limited run Arc-AAA with a red LED any time soon? If not I'd like to put in a request for an Arc-AAA (not the higher output Arc-AAA Premium) with a red LED. Thank you, Richard
