Those SLs seem overpriced, but I know I'm going to end up buying one. Damn them.

Thanks for the updates!

Regarding: "The Streamlight Task-Light 2L3W is a regulated, 2-cell 123A 3 watt Luxeon Star LED flashlight. It produces 77 lumens of light for three hours and an additional 1.5 hours of usable light. The Task-Light 2L3W is available now and retails for $114.95."

Has that 77 lumen rating been verified with an integrating sphere, or is that number simply someones calculation?

 

[Amonra]

when u say : 1 watt Luxeon super high-flux LED, is that a normal 1W lux or is it some new kind of Lux 1W ?

Thanks again PocketLights.com! Great pics and descriptions. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/happy14.gif Thanks to you I'm dying for that proto Photon Proton (say that 3 times fast).

I can personally vouch for the SL TaskLight 2-L as being a great unit. Got mine form Brightguy.com for $71.50 almost a month ago and have been using it ever since. Havn't run the batts down yet nor do I have a way of measuring luminosity. Stainless, you might want to read about it more on Flashlightreviews.com.

I don't think I have ever seen any light that can do that. It would seem to be unlikely based on my understanding of of LEDs, electronics, and 2 x 123 configurations.

I am not even certain that the LED alone can do that, much less the light system.

Heck, I should get a free Sherpa Xray from Freeplay for giving them the idea!
