UPDATED SEPTEMBER 14
- Couldn't resist. Romisen RC-T6 has been ordered! (2-6 weeks to arrive)
- P.S. I will be overseas between Sep 22 - OCT 10.
- I have put up a early stage review of RC-A8 here. (posted a while back)
- Here are my quick reviews of 6 recent lights. (posted a while back)
- My house is now 80% organised. It's getting there! (moved in on 1st of Sep)
UPDATED SEPTEMBER 6
- Still unpacking in my new house. Found some of my flashlights. =P
- So I'll start reviewing lights actively from then onwards. (I promise)
- I'm sending back 2 faulty lights back to KD next week. (Aurora/Eastward)
- Hopefully I can get some other lights as a replacement soon to test.
BIG CHANGES ARE HAPPENING TO THIS THREAD
This thread will be the new sticky thread with the following:
- Any news and updates by me related to this thread and products.
- Ratings chart. (Rating system may be changed for future reviews)
- New reviews will now be a new thread on its own and linked here.
- Meaning, every light review will have its own thread like how others do.
- This will allow me to write bigger, longer reviews per each light. =)
- Hence... This thread will act as a "master" thread for all my reviews.
- Nature of the thread doesn't change. So feel free to use it as before!
(Old thread used too much bandwidth so this should keep it nice and slim)

★★★★★★ - Buy it now! Amazing bang for the buck!
★★★★★ - It is excellent. A great buy! Recommended.
★★★★ - Pretty darn good. It's not the best but is not bad.
★★★ - It's okay but there's nothing that great about it imo.
★★ - Not good. Avoid if if you can coz it's not worth it.
★ - Why am I even reviewing this?! Total waste of $$$.
[HIGH PERFORMANCE / HIGH RATED LIGHTS]
- Link to reviews for below lights HERE
[LOW RATED, LOW PERFORMANCE or DISCONTINUED] - Link to reviews for below lights HERE
NOTE: Output values are for the near absolute peak while batteries are fully charged at its highest voltage.
Always check the runtime graph if available as you cannot expect all light to maintain such values for very long.
[help~!] [help~!] [help~!]
I am constantly running short on funds to buy and review more recent lights. :mecry:
Feel free to send me $2 or $4 or $8 donations so that I can keep adding new lights. :devil:
(fyi - Paypal takes away a 37/44 cents respectively per donation which sorta sux.)
All new lights from FEB 2008 will be bought with the addition of your donations. (if any )
I thank you for all for the amazing support so far. It helps greatly to keep this thread alive!
You may instead opt to use my referral id at DX. It doesn't cost you anything which is the best part. =)
To use my id, just add ~r.29749062 directly to the end of any product url address. (without "" of course)
Every ~$1300 spent using my referral id, I get $10. Not a lot but better than nothing I guess. =P
