thanks for the first looks on these lights

question: if the pak light is on the battery, is there an off switch--or do you have to take it off the 9 volt to turn it off?

will you be carrying it?

thanks.........Bill

Could it be that there were some selfpowered winding LED lights like that Freeplay before - I could bet that I have seen one at a friends house. I didn't check the brand though. For it's size it made wonderful free white light! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/clap.gif

I was very impressed and grateful for your coverage last year and am looking forward to 2005's. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif

Wow! The T4 and T5 look very interesting!

Thanks for the coverage. I'm very much looking forward to seeing the LongBow update mentioned above.

Anyone using a Lamina BL-series LED in anything yet? I have a BL-3000 on order and plan evil things with it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You do not have to detach the Pak-Lite to turn it off. The Pak-Lite has an on/off switch. Pushing the switch to the left turns on the high beam. Pushing the switch to the right turns on the low beam. Moving the switch to middle turns it off.

I plan on selling the Pak-Lite. I should have the Pak-Lites in stock in about a week.

will you be selling the t4 and t5 too david?

 

[wquiles]

For the price, the T5 could be a GREAT value for a 3xcell LED light. Even if we assume that it will not be right at 100 lumens, it could be comparable to the L6 which is at least twice as expensive.

The runtime and the similar TIROS optic suggest that the T5 uses a Luxeon III just like the T3, therefore I wouldn't expect the output to rival the L6. In terms of throw, it might beat the L6 though.

PocketLights.com will sell the Inova T4 and T5 when they come available.
