[PlayboyJoeShmoe]

English isn't your strong suit eh?

You didn't indicate which light you are speaking of, but yes...

LEDs do rule!

Raggie has stated that he has dyslexia. I wonder how long those old batteries will work for him.

 

[raggie33]

lol know i threw it in my fish pond its just wadeing and still showing good

 

[PlayboyJoeShmoe]

No punctuation, No sentences (my spelling leaves something to desire but I am aware of it!).

I'm not amused.

 

[raggie33]

Back to the subject, eh?
Joe, if his writing bothers you, just bypass it. Call it poetic license if you must, but discuss lights, not writing styles.

 

[PlayboyJoeShmoe]

Oh yeah, the rules. I forgot!

So what freaking Dorcy light WERE we talking about anyway?

 

[Empath]

It's just a guess. Since he says it's an older Dorcy LED, I suspect he's talking about Dorcy Cool Blue.

 

[Pi_is_blue]

It is probably the Dorcy CoolBlue since it is still on its first set of batteries (it is supposed to run 20+ hours on a set of batteries).

 

[The_LED_Museum]

I'll also guess that it's a Dorcy Cool Blue (the plastic and rubber kind), but it could also be a Dorcy Cool Blue (the metal kind). Dorcy gave the same name to two different flashlights... guess some of their marketing geniouses were an egg roll short of a poo poo platter the day these two flashlights first came off the line. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Empath]

Since he threw it into his fish pond, I'd suspect the plastic one. I don't think the aluminum one would be watertight enough.

 

[Turt]

Is the cool blue the one that is the same as the Turtle Light?

 

[The_LED_Museum]

As far as I know, the plastic and rubber version of the Cool Blue is exactly the same as the Turtlelite except for color and labelling.

LEDCorp and Dorcy have some kind of licensing agreement with one another, so don't call your favorite patent attorney. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[raggie33]

yeah she is plastic and yellow she is the cool blue one great light for price but she is big

 

[shiftd]

yup. Not worth the size IMHO, provided the beam that was not really useful. Ah ya, just be wary as the reflector is soo weak. If you happen to have leakage inside (battery), the reflector will slowly teared apart.

I suggest get an Arc or Ultra. Same brightness with much smaller package

 

[raggie33]

im geting a arc soon as i find one localy i may also get the cmg i think they sell it at sports autrity

 

[shiftd]

if you get CMG, get the Ultra version. Arc + CMG, they will satisfy most of your needs of lighting /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[raggie33]

i figure ill blow a 100 dollors on a light maybe the l4 it seems to be a fav around thease parts but i still got ma dorcy in the pond its still glowing. lol btw never i mean never walk around a fish pond after ya drank a fewe beers i sliiped in algie and fell in

 

[1581zebra]
