hey CPF

not really been on much over christmas so since is the first bit of time i have had i thaught i would have a little catch up lol, i would just like to tell you all a bit about my christmas

over christmas i received some "protected" 10440's from DX, i tryed one in my LD01 and its great but the mode sequence changes to high-medium-medium lol but is visably much brighter than on a regular 1.5V battery, my troubble now is that i dont have a charger lol, would someone please recomend me a charger!

i also received my quark mini 123 after paying a £10 customs fee, i have been using it a few weeks now and have to say, that this light is VERY hard to beat for the money, its soo small yet soo bright i cant beat it

also i would like to thank "greenLED" for donating me an ITP A3 Eos!
when i received it i was shocked by its tiny size, being use to an LD01 i was shocked, I dont usually have a light on my keychain because there all to big until now, i have been using it a week or so and love it, its the perfect size with a great out put from the XP-E and best of all its single mode which is AMAZING for a keychain light.
The 10440 batterys that i spoke of before do not work in this light because they are to long!

both the mini123 and the A3 eos have what i consider to be good tints and white with no ugly green as i can tell!

also got my dad his first propper light which was a lumapower LM31 which he seems to be taking to lol

overall good, and i also have christmas money to spend on a new light so if theres anything that stands out at the moment recomend it lol

so let me hear about your christmas

Hi Jamie,

Glad to see you like your Christmas pressies! Anyway, this is the charger i got off eBay, it charges my 14500s and 10440s very well and i use it (with spacers made from aluminium foil) for my 14250s and RCR2s as well.

My RCR123s and 17500/18500/18650s are all charged with my WF139.

So what's your budget for another light?? And, i am awaiting the arrival of my warm white mini 123, hope its as good a light as yours.

EDIT: if you're going to be using 10440s in your LD01, carry spares as the runtime is atrociously short using 10440s
