Terra Nova episode 2 the search team goes out with what looks like Fenix TK70s but the lens of the light has 5 or 7 small light points but has a lot of throw. Any ideas?

Possibly LED lenser X21?

Someone mentioned seeing a LEDLenser light on that show. So . . . There's a good chance that's a LEDLenser X21 seven LED flashlight.

(Looks to be the right size as well.)

Thanks you. I didn't have to toot my own horn. Seeing a pic of the light I would think it was the X21.

In the new movie "The Thing" you can see lots of Mags, a couple of what looks like Kel-Lites, or Streamlights, and those "Big Jim" sealed beam type lanterns that are mounted on top of a big battery. They also had several different more traditional style lanterns, both battery operated and liquid fuel type.

Makes sense. The re-make of "The Thing" is supposed to be a prequel to the original . . . which has the exact same title for some odd reason.

Re: Flashlight used by JJ Abrams in Star Trek. Make and model?

Yep, it's supposed to be 1982, and shows what happened leading up to the 1982 film "The Thing." I was watching for newer lights, but all I noticed was period correct lighting.

The new movie isn't quite as good as it's '82 predecessor (which still holds up after all this time), but it's still pretty creepy, plenty gruesome, and worth watching.

If you're in the USA, you can watch Episode 2 ("Instinct") here until Nov. 15 2011; the flashlights and vehicle lights are shown in the first 90 seconds. But what's up with those vehicle headlights? They appear to be incandescents or halogens. Halogens, made in 2140? I don't think so.

Kate used a battery powered lantern. I don't remember those types of light being around back them.

I agree the 82 version was better but this one was plenty creepy. I'm glad it didn't turn into a death by CGI flick. The ending was really good!

Yeah, that was the only one I wasn't too sure about.

They definitely did a good job with CGI...it wasn't too obvious, and was pretty intense. I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Re: Flashlight used by JJ Abrams in Star Trek. Make and model?

In this season's Dr. Who there is something that looks like a SF C2 except for the bit behind the head. I cannot quite make out what it is, almost looks a little oveready-like? It is carried by River Song on her gunbelt. Can somebody identifiy it? I cropped this out of a frame from the 720 version of

It's a Fenix T1 with a natural finish.

I've seen a better quality version of the same pic.
