Gorillatorch Switchback

[Kindle]

Stumbled across another new light this one's from Joby (the Gorillapod people).

According to the spec sheet it has six modes (5 lm to 130 lm), a Cree XP-G and four other emitters (5mm ?) including red and uses 2xaa.

That looks pretty neat. Are you supposed to pocket the lantern diffuser thing normally?

good using in a tent or basement

No idea. The only pics that seem available so far look to be the promo stuff from the company.

I'm not even sure exactly how it fits together. Do the headlamp portion & the battery pack snap together & then fit into the bottom of the lantern? It's hard to tell from the pics.

Still it's definitely a product that might be worth keeping an eye on.

Edit: FWIW Looking at closeups of the headlamp portion the supplementary LEDs look to be power LEDs rather than 5mm.
