Any opinions on Peak Shasta N

[lyrrag]

I looking for a small pocket light and wondered if the Peak Shasta is OK. I looking for output similar to a AAA cs.

Thanks in advance for any replies.:huh:

i too have been looking for input on the shasta also for a long time

I think RobynS would be happy to throw some light on that "???". Send her a private message (a link below your username at the top right corner of your screen). Hope you get needed info soon from her.

I have one with a single snow led. It is not as bright as a CS, but has a much whiter beam. The output level looks like about like a Fenix EO.
It works and is a nice light.

Thanks for the answer.

I like my little brass 3 LED Shasta---great size and shape. There are even a couple of rechargeable solutions for it:

Here is another one and it's a bit less expensive:

I like my Shasta quite a bit, even in this day and age of Cree and Seoul.

I have a 3 LED version that I've had for years. I think it was even before the "snow" LEDs. It's a little dim but quite useful. I keep it on my work keyring.

with the small N interstate(kan/gp..etc) batteries, since the
green plastic shroud extends past the negative terminal, you really have to
crank down the head to get it to light up. putting a small blob of solder on
the negative end of the battery brings it back into normal operation.

My Shasta 3 led has a better beam than the three led Matterhorn IMHO and the Leds aren't as squashed together, making the light look quite a bit nicer. FYI, the Shasta heads also fit on the Baltic bodies thereby giving you numerous battery options.

I think the N-cells (at least the NiMH ones) are rather inefficient. They are only a little shorter than a AAA cell but have abotu 25% of the capacity.

Are there other lights that use the N-cell battery?

 

[NutSAK]

In the Peak lineup, the Baltic can also use the N cell bodies.

There are other manufacturers that use N cell also, if that's what you're asking. TnC uses them.

My Shasta is a bit brighter than my old old Arc-AAA, and the color of the light is more useful. I imagine the 3-LED version would be better still, though a little longer.

In the Peak lineup, the Baltic can also use the N cell bodies.

I see the beauty of the Baltic the other way around, I changed from an N body to a AAA body so I could use a Lithium AAA . N batteries are alkaline and leak and the lithium primary gives me much greater battery life and isn't subject to leaking. I have the Baltic on my keys and change the battery less than once a year. Does the AAA body fit the Shasta?

Does the AAA body fit the Shasta?

Yes, The Baltic and Shasta heads interchange with each other.

fyi....pacific and shasta are NOT lego compatible like the baltic and shasta- even though they are both AAA bodies-for what it's worth.

Get the triple-LED UP head and you'll have a nice pocket rocket. Brighter than the Arc-AAA GS.
