Re: County Comm Maratac AAA Q5

Sounds like a battery crusher style...

What makes you think this? Do you think these lumens are rated OTF? These look to be a great alternative for the LD01, I love the look of the black one with that clip, great find!

1) that length savings had to come from somewhere
2) in the video I heard a certhlump with no springback when he inserted the cell

but I am just guessing here, I could be wrong. But I suspect a foam ring on the head side.

Gotcha, thanks! I certainly do hope you are wrong, but I doubt it. I'll still most likely get one anyway.

The knurling looks nice as does the price.

Re: County Comm Maratac AAA Q5

I emailed County Comm and asked if the Maratac AAA light will take NiMh or lithium batteries and if there is a spring inside the light. They replied; "Yes they will ...". Not sure what that means . I think they were just responding to the battery question.


Edit:

Good news, They replied again saying "Yes and Yes it will run on Both ..And It has a real spring inside". :twothumbs

Re: County Comm Maratac AAA Q5

What made you think they would not take NiMH or L92's?

I guess I should have known it would. Never hurts to ask though, right?

Yippy! I just e-mailed them earlier asking about the spring, I'm really happy to hear it does have one. I'm totally down with this light!!! AND I'll actually have some money to spend tommorow, it doesn't happen often much when there's a light just released that I like so much and I actually have the money for it.

This might just be the light I have been waiting for. Haven't ordered yet though.

Re: County Comm Maratac AAA Q5

Just got my response: "Yes a real Spring .. Not a piece of Foam... This is Not A battery Cruncher .." Looks like they knew exactly where that was going lol. I also forgot to ask about using a 10440.

I look forward to the reviews and see how it stacks up to Fenix.

Now there are a total of 3 threads...

Try searching for maratac in titles only, or simply look on the front page of General...

Re: Maratac AAA Q5 Flashlight

I only found two threads so far and most of the info within is about the number of threads on this topic. Anyone own this light if so how is it?

I suggest you read the FIRST thread.

Re: Maratac AAA Q5 Flashlight

I expanded the search beyond LED flashlights to General Flashlight Discussion.

Think I found the first one.

Odd, just where I said it was in post 9

Not so odd as I don't read every single post. Thanks for your help.
