I ordered http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1391 recrently and it came in today.
I got it so I would have a 'cheap aluminum flashlight' to knock around and for the rechargeable RCR123's to use in my inova X5 and this light.
I was wondering if any of you guys have ever gotten a flashlight from here.
What shocked me about the flashlight when i got it was it's weight, 3.8oz. the aluminum body on this light must be around 1/10th of an inch thick, and the threads are pretty big too. I don't know what the lens cover is made of i kind of want to say plastic, but the reflector looks like it's screwed in using some kind of supersized spanner, and it looks like it's solid aluminum too. This light looks like it could take some serious abuse. the bulb it comes with is very bright and draws about 850mA
Since this thing draws so much juice I decided that I'll use it with primary CR123A's Since 850mA is about 1.2C for the batteries it came with and it kills them in about 30 minutes or so.
It's also worth noting that the lights that come in the kit I guess you could call it automatically shutoff when they reach <3.0V/cell, in the picture however are batteryspaces CR123A's and they're dirt cheap too; if you buy over 5 they're 96 cents each.
