    Looking for a light for SAR operations

    Eagle tac SX25L2 is worth a look.... Similar in form to a mag 2d but lights up a whole field...not a complicated UI... Charges in torch... Lasts hours on high.. Nice weight for a bag carry... Button easy to use with gloves, waterproof and has worked for me for past year as police in use. Most...

    Which torch to use for night time nature watching?

    For some reason never had a Fenix but everyone seems to love em...think the TK22 is the newer version? For similar money I think it is underpowered compared to say a Eagletac T25C2 XM-L2 LED 1180 lumen ....easy UI as twisty head..and can get it in a neutral white tint..but a M said you will...

    Which torch to use for night time nature watching?

    +1 - Led Lenser are good versus normal torches....but not that great compared to many of the competition. I am UK based too....Really you need to decide do you want to go Li-Ion in which case factor in £10 per battery (18650) and £20 for a charger (they need a specific charger they do not...

    Looking for a diving light with high lumen, medium size.

    My understanding is the IPX is a minimum standard...the 8 being the highest for waterproof submersion standard - greater than 1m for a duration specified by the manufacturer. So it depends what they measure and rate to....I saw Nitecore have tried it out with the SRT 6&7 but not sure if the...

    Looking for a diving light with high lumen, medium size.

    Ooh just seen this ....advised to 40 metres but they tested 30 mins at 60 metres....still talking SRT7.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0GPya969YQ

    Kayaking, Bicycling, and hiking, which lights serve these three best?

    I love my Nitecore SRT5... 18650.... 2 metres submersible for minimum 30 mins. 750 lumens for 1hr45 mins. Nice beam profile...a nice floody throw....lights up a useable 60-70 metres in a large area. Easy to use UI as has a twist selector ring. Can do a flashing beacon for your bike and SOS if...

    Looking for a diving light with high lumen, medium size.

    Sorry you're not having much luck....maybe a bit throwy and not got the lumen count but while researching the SRT5 I noted the Nitecore SRT7 is recommended for diving down to at least 40m (they took one to 100). It is 18650.... And with the smart ring you can change the output and even go into...

    Nitecore (P12 & SRT5) vs Fenix PD35 & Others

    I can say the SRT5 is a good choice...the rotary ring makes mode change simple. It will run on high for your 2 hours, lights up brightly over 100yds not a complete thrower but throws out lots of lumens so lights up a large chunk of field...goes nice and dim for a moonlight style which you can...

    Hey, I need a light for: Search & Rescue and Camping!

    Do you have access to charging facilities? If so the +1 to the SR52 or look at the Eagletac G, S or M series? Am awaiting the SX25L2.... 400m throw and 3 hour runtime on high..7 hours medium (still 500+ lumens), 44 hours at 100 lumens....or 200 hours at 10 lumens....with built in charger if you...

    Maglite Replacement

    I got a Macscustom mag drop in that was sexy...but not sure if these are still about. I personally am getting one of this style form factor but a bit more pricey by going for an Eagletac SX25L2 with XM-L2 emitter...but love the look of the run times and rechargeable...but more than you have...

    Small Floody LED Light: LD22 - EYE12 - PD12

    Not so good with AA lights ...the PD22 looks interesting but any reason you won't go 18650 if you already have a bunch of these? I recently got a Nitecore SRT5 750 lumen, 2hr 20 min at full power and nice floody beam up to 150metres throw ANSI...so dropped to the 200-300 lumen mark will run for...

    Which light for UK police - Lenser T7, Police Tech or other?

    Ven n mcnair55....you both raise the point of availability of batteries from stores....as police officers we have to rely n whatever is on our person or vehicle for the shift...when you are called to an incident at 3am in the middle of nowhere what you have with you is what you have. I have...

    Which light for UK police - Lenser T7, Police Tech or other?

    I googled Klarus Police Uk and found a long term test hosted on the Klarus website...with a serving police office testing...but it was for an XT20 ... Which runs off two 18650 batteries.... Can you post a link to your review you refer to mate?

    Which light for UK police - Lenser T7, Police Tech or other?

    ...everyone has an opinion......IMO u don't need AA as you order rechargeable RCR123A or 18650 then carry them around...remember the torch is never constantly on ...a tactical led torch with 18650s will run for hours at full constant brightness...I have never had to swap out one of the...

    Which light for UK police - Lenser T7, Police Tech or other?

    No one torch is enough... Firstly forget AA....you need to jump to RCR123 and 18650 Li-ion batteries...first are small n mighty...second mighty with long run times...IMO I then carry an 18650 led torch on my duty belt...depends on budget and where patrolling... if urban then personally throw...
