    NiteCore Defender Infinity - First Impressions thread

    Ahh... Right you are. Anyway, I wish all lights are like this. I personally buy only lights with forward clickies, but many people pointed out that reverse clickies are less susceptible to accidental activations. I think this would negate all arguments in favor of reverse clickies, no?

    NiteCore Defender Infinity - First Impressions thread

    Does anyone else notice that the tailcap thread is non-conductive? I use it as a lock-out to prevent unintentional activation. I can also leave the clicky on and use the tailcap as a twisty switch, but I guess there's no reason to do this. I wish all lights (tailcaps) are like this.

    NiteCore Defender Infinity - First Impressions thread

    Sure, I agree it's unpleasant and probably even dangerous. But I suspect most people won't use the light in any tactical sense. Most likely, if anyone gets hurt, it'll be the user accidentally hurting himself. But don't give them any ideas, unless you want to see more warning labels, such as...

    NiteCore Defender Infinity - First Impressions thread

    I think it's like the "tactical" crenelated bezel, "Strong Light" warning, over-the-top logo, and exaggerated name. They're supposed to be cool, bad ***, dangerous, or something like that. Seriously though, the flashlight itself is quite awesome. I don't think it needs any of the above...

    Dereelight Copy at DX?

    You can tell it's a fake because it doesn't say "Strong Light".

    Fenix store's latest announcement *new announcemnt*

    Re: Fenix's latest announcement I assumed the LxT would soon get a Q5 or Rebel 100, so I held off. I'm sure I wasn't the only one. Who would want a Rebel 80 when Rebel 100's are readily available? Oh well, I have the NiteCore DI to keep me busy. For me, the NiteCore DI is a direct...

    NiteCore Defender Infinity - titan for the masses?

    A real warning label should read "WARNING: Do not look into light with remaining eye!" :)

    NiteCore Defender Infinity - titan for the masses?

    Agreed. I also don't care for the "www.NiteCore.com" (on the battery tube). I think "NiteCore(R)" is enough. Oh well...

    Linear or logarithmic?

    For continuously variable brightness, linear could make it easier to estimate brightness/runtime trade-offs. Personally, I want both, with a touchscreen LCD display and voice activation. "Light, run for 30 minutes at maximum allowable brightness." "Light, run at 90 lumens."

    Behold the Avenger - LumaPower AAA light

    Yes! I've been waiting for an upgraded L0D. I guess LumaPower beats Fenix to it. (The L0D with Q4 came close, but it's red with pretty snowflakes and stuff.) What's up the naming trend? Avenger, Hunter, Defender, Killer, Slayer, Destroyer... OK, I'm exaggerating, but not by much...

    Q5 that's not made in China?

    That makes about as much sense as boycotting Texas just because you don't like the Bush administration.

    Surefire-like tailcaps on CREE LED lights?

    Do you mean press-for-momentary, tighten-for-constant-on, loosen-for-lock-out? I know of only Surefire and Streamlight. I wish more manufacturers would consider this design.

    Can you do momentary strobe?

    I can't tell from the video. Does it have true momentary?

    The UI doesn't seem very "tactical" to me.

    Is Surefire just really smart to stay out of the "ultra bright" led battle?

    Re: Is Surefire just really smart to stay out of the "ultra bright" led battle? Flashlight brand loyalty is like religion.

    NiteCore Defender Infinity - titan for the masses?

    I think the name could be improved. I suggest Super Ultra Mega Defender Infinity And Beyond, Tactical Edition. :) Don't get me started on the logo... I think it's fascist enough. Adding eagles, arrows, guns, or a swastikas would be overkill. :) And the light itself, it's almost perfect...

    SureFire Titan -- The Light to Replace All My Lights

    If you're talking about the Fenixes, all the CR123 and 2AA models are far brighter than 65 lumens. Yes, real torch lumens.
