Huntlight FT-01

[Hrvoje]

Beside the others, I'm collecting out of production flashlights. The last one I'm looking for is the Huntlight FT-01. The only place I found one is here:

Although I doubt that, because Huntlight is out of business, I'm interested if someone could me pointed to some other place to look at?
By the way, the Lumapower M1 and Dereelight CL-1H v.1 is also on my wish list

Ah, those were some good lights! I was surprised when one day I realized that Lumapower had dropped the M1. It's a great design, although CPFers did seem to give Lumapower and Ricky grief that it wasn't as bright as other similar lights. Which is a pretty unfair comparison since Lumapower was very up front about their intention for the M1 to be long-running, reliable, and bright, and not just a bright as possible as other manufacturers seemed to be doing at the time.

I get the feeling that the sudden P60 craze probably took away a lot of business for flashlights similar to the M1 design. I think I would put the Wolf-Eyes Sniper on your collection list, if you haven't already. I think that's another classic design that many will look back on fondly. I still use my LM M1 and WE Sniper fairly often.

Good luck in your search! :wave:

Huntlight is out of business! No wonder. I have two FT-01PJs although one is MIA at the moment. This isn't the first time one has disappeared so I'm sure it'll turn up eventually.

Out of business eh? Guess I should have guessed as I have not seen any around for a while. Actually have one of the CREE versions less the pocket clip. Fairly nice light overall. Bought it thinking it would be a suitable substitute for a SureFire U2 since the run times and beam pattern with the optiional reflector were similar. In true Flashaholic manner I bought the U2 later anyway......

i have the huntlight and the Dereelight V1, must admit that i haven't even used them much since buying them because of the new lights coming to market at such a rapid pace. Still very nice lights and make great hosts.

gave my ft-01 w/ cree led to my brother... i needed forward push on lights so the ft-01 sat in the drawer unused for a year as a backup. Overall design was nice.
