I went to see one of my partners today and I was given this flashlight. Considering the ten 5mm LEDs its pretty bright with two settings one for three LEDs and one for all ten. Application of these setting is done by pushing the on, on, off switch, push once three LEDs illuminate push again and ten LEDs illuminate, once more and the flashlight turns off. That plastic cartridge only feeds into the cylinder in one direction but it looks as though the 4AA batteries could be put in the wrong direction if not paying attention.
Kind of funny that the beam seems to clear up a little without the reflector as the head on the flashlight unscrews and the reflector falls right out. Not much thread space for focusing optics but they might work. Kind of a manly looking flashlight and it has a nice fit to my hand but I think it needs a little beefing up. That switch has got me curious as to just how much I could load up on it. The inside dia. looks to be from D cell flashlight stock so eight oops six nimhs are not out of the question. The rigging might be a little too tricky to get some 5mms in head with an L/S but then the hotlimps may just fit that bill too. Stupid pressed plastic lens, this could be trouble, dang it! The thread tolerance of the head is a little loose and there isn't a whole lot of aluminum wall thickness only about an eighth, hmmmmm. The five-watt option is not a good idea unless hunting in December in South Dakota without gloves, berererer! looks like a 1 watt application to me.
So anyways, does anybody know anything about this flashlight? I have never seen one like it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif
