Orb Ns any thoughts??

[LawLight]

I don't know about the K2 but the U bin lux 3 is very good. All the K2's I have are U bin as well but in this application I would bet that the U-bin Lux III may beat the U-bin K2. My boards were shipped a couple of days ago. I will test a K2 when I get them and post results here.

Tritium:

Many thanks. I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Tritium is hamless. The radiation can't even go through the little glass vial. Even if one were to break a vial and inhale all the tritium gas that would only be about as much radiation as you get from a dental x-ray (of course, I also only read that somewhere ).

I tested the Tritium on mine with my gieger counter. Barely above background unlike the source attached to the counter which is about .02mr/hr.

what does that mean??

 

[LawLight]

It means you're ok to handle the tritium.

Anyone have this light or have thoughts on it.

Your input would be appreciated.

Just buy it - you will not regret it

I had one with a tritium and sold it; it's a very nice, very white light; however I prefer the CR2 Ion (havea Ti and a "maroon" one of a kind), for one hand use (knurling) and the flood beam is everything I want in a light.

I have "fat" fingers and small hands..........others may Orb much easier!

Just my pennies worth and not worth that either

I've got an NS with a U-bin -- it's a gem. It's a kick to get that much light out of something smaller than my thumb. As others have said, you can't beat it for "Wow" factor.

Although I only have the Raw 3W (2 stage), I would say get the HDS U60 (I have both). The Raw is way cool...really blows away the friends when they see the output vs. size. But, if this is going to be your EDC, the U60 is the way to go...built like a tank, 4 brightness level (vs 2), clickie, full regulation, etc.

Wow I go away for a long weekend and come back to find all of this wonderful info. Thanks heaps.
I have a bit of reading to do now!

A question about the Batts. Is it true that they are very limited supply?

Through Orb and AW only!

Does this worry anyone?

 

[lightrod]

Concept - definitely not a popular cell but I do see them now offered by Lighthound as well as Seriouslights (may be others). A primary cell is offered by Saft for impressively long life but at much lower output than the rechargebales.

I am not too worried about this as the cell came before the light and are apparently used in other applications, so they should be available regardless. But not at the local Walmart for sure! I just got a few extra just to be sure I am not without if/when I take time to hunt for more....(each cell should last for many many charges)

I have one, it is my EDC. Great little light.

Ok you convinced me.
