Anyone still use their Eternalights?

[freeze12]

I have 2 Eternalights which I hardly use anymore. The big downfall is the Battery mounting in the light... Springs on both sides to hold the Batterys which is a PITA to install the Batterys in before they pop out!You would think after all this time that they would come out with a better Battery mounting system.

ABSOLUTELY! Ditto all of the positive comments above!! No collection would be "complete" (it there is such a thing! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif) without one (or actually several!!).

Hello V8TOYTRUCK,

I have several. I always take one (or more) along with me on camping trips.

I enjoy all the features, and in the dark setting of a camp site, the light is quite good as well.

A LS version with the option of switching back to the lower power LED's would be interesting. I would certainly get an Elite SuperMax LS if it became available.

I still use my Ergo 3. I like the fact that it's dimmable, but hate the fact that I need a screwdriver to change the batteries (not that I've had to change them often). A built-in belt clip would be nice, as would an LS version. Maybe replace 1 or 2 of the LED's with LS's, and make it switchable between the two types.

I'll ask this again as a separate question. Where is the best/cheapest place to buy the eternalights? Eppescorner is the cheapest I have seen thus far at least for the Elitemax.

geep,

I can't answer that, but I just went to Eppe's corner and I found the site very unfriendly, actually confusing. I've rarely if ever had that experience before; in fact I wasn't even sure how to look up Eternalight. Any hints?

Granted, Eppes web site is not too user friendly but $68.95 is the lowest I've seen on a Elite Max. Still a lot to pay for something that regardless of features still only has four Nichia LEDs. I'm pretty sure I bought my Eternalight X-ray at Eppes corner.

Of all the Flashlights that I have, and I do have quite afew; the Eternalight is the one I grab the most.

As I live in California, I was thinking which light I would take if I had to evacuate; and it was my Eternalight. What else would you take to a shelter? Its durable, waterproof, very adjustable, fits in your pocket, has a nightlight and can last a very long time on one set of batteries--it can even entertain you. There is nothing else like it for task lighting! (We "CPF'ers" sometime get too hung up on throw and Lumens)

I was just checking around and found this on sale! Great Price! Eternalights Overstock Special! Elite X-Ray $50.00.

After several months absence, I'm looking forward to finally being reunited with my EliteXRay later this week. It was left during a visit with friends who live about 3 hours away.

Since they took good care of the XRay, they'll be getting a Derringer for Christmas.
