Next generation key chain lights

[Bravo30]

with the rate in which flashlight tech advances you literally have to update every 4 months to stay current.

Match Book Instruments HF-R ?
Surefire Titan?
Helios Light?.......(not sure about this guy though lol.. legit? seems not)



i guess now i have to update my key chain as well. currently i use an ITP a3 EOS and haven't had any issues but by the looks of things its dated technology.

It's cool that others are innovating and developing new products, but I only upgrade if I need that feature or functionality. The little ARC AAA on my keychain has continued to light things up as needed, when needed for the last 10 years or so.

I tried replacing it with a new Mako Mk II, and sent it back, as I hated the UI and the looseness of the head when off.

New was not better, in this case.

You dont really need the latest tec. It's a number game. Numbers sell, but your eyes wont see mutch difference. Bought a lf2xt years ago, and dont find the latest and greatest mutch brighter. The next binned led is only some % brighter than the last. You need 4 times the output to precive a light as twice as bright, so some few % more is not visible.
If it's for bragging rights, yes you need it, if it's to help you see stuff in the dark, you dont

Don't forget Sunny Nites and Nitecore Tube. Oh and Fenix Ti light.

Yes mate it is a pain keeping up- but as long as the wallet doesn't mind than it can only be a good thing! something that befell me...

The old Fenix e05 AAA was a single mode 30 lumens. I thought mine was pretty cool and handy so i was nearly going to order several more, and then...

...The 2014 Fenix e05 was released that surpasses the former in almost every way, 3 modes with a high of 85 lumens down to a nice low of 8. I couldn't order one fast enough and i couldn't dump my old one fast enough haha

bring on the evolution!
