Do you happen to remember how much they were asking for one at the store?
 
Smooth or OP reflector?

It's interesting to see the various revisions of an "over the counter" light. IIRC these started out at 37, then went to 50, and 56 lumens, now 85 lumens. I hope not too many other things have changed.

nice looking
needs more output
will it take a 14500?
easy to modify?
 
The old ones were pretty easy to mod. I'm disappointed about the change to a reverse clicky, despite the old one's hair trigger.

what LED is in it now?
 
I just got one of these and I like it. I have one of the old 35 lumen models also. I bought the 50 lumen model several months ago but returned it since the difference in output was not noticable. I can tell the difference with this version and I actually like the stainless steel! I believe the forward clicky on the old model works on this one also, but I cannot verify that right now!
 
Funny, on the energizer.com website they are still showing the old version

Agreed. I actually saw a display where the 50 lumen lights had been "fronted" on the display and the new stock (lights furthest back) were the 85 lumen ones. It pays to pay extra attention these days.

That I didn't realize. Hmmm.

The head has a small amount of thread locker on it, but a heat gun takes care of that. I modded some with colored LEDs, keeping the stock driver, they were pretty cool. Sold them, then put a neutral XM-L in one with a 1.4amp driver 14500 only. Looks to be about 500 lumens.
 
I picked one up also,bright, seems well made,for $15. and change, I like it.If it matters to some, it wont tail stand the switch cover sticks out too far,not a big deal for me.
 
I'm disappointed to hear that the forward clicky has been replaced by a reverse clicky.

Reverse clickies are great for multi-mode lights, but I prefer forward clickies on single mode lights.

--flatline
 
I couldn't find the 85 lumens one but did find a lot of 50 lumens ones. I'm guessing they are not going to order/put out the new version until the 50 lumens version is gone. Will be going back in a month to see.

Can you really tell the difference between 85 and 50 lumens?
 
I dunno.... I'm so pleased with my TrustFire R5-A3 Cree XP-G R5 3-Mode 230LM Memory LED Flashlight 1*AA / 1*14500 for $13 I, I.....just can't get excited about these other inexpensive torches.. Lol..
 
I just picked a couple of these up from Target. I really like them. The feel is very comfortable but the FIT AND FINISH is what sets this apart from the cheaper chinese made lights. The threads are so smooth removing and putting on the tail cap is effortless. Not so much to say about my other cheap chinese lights.
