What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

[Ishango]

I just ordered the 47's Quark MiNi 123, S2 edition. This light was on my wishlist for a long time and I really like my MiNi AA a lot as well. Wanted to try this one out. I also got a great yearly review at work and wanted to give myself a present :thumbsup:

Well, being that I'm cheapskate my latest purchases were two 1w engergizers on clearance at Target but today I also ordered a Fenix EO1 since I seem to have an abundance of AAA batteries gathering dust.

Well, not "purchased", but I just traded a second E2L-AA I had for an LX2. Why? Even though I believe the E2L-AA to be more "useful" all around, having a new SF that you don't have yet is always better than having two of the same model.

The only SF models I have yet to own , in one variation or another, are (I leave "special lights" out, i.e. weapon lights, etc.), is a Beast, 9N, 8A/X, Dominator, Titan, A2Z, Stratum. I think that's it??? ...that's only 7 of SF's basic models. Oh, and the L7...make that 8.

Ironically, the two hardest to find would be the first and last ones on your list. I seem to recall only one CPF Regular using an L7 on a daily basis.

Fenix E05 to replace the Preon Revo on my keychain. I still love the Revo but found that I rarely used the lowest level or the highest level and did not like always cycling past the low level.

While I only just received it, the E05 seems to be the ticket with a great floody beam that reaches surprisingly far.

I still have a Revo in my wallet because I like knowing that I have a solid 40 plus hours of light available to me when I want it.

I do wish that the Revo memorized the last level... it would be perfect for me then... it is pretty close to perfect now.

Surefire 6PL with 80 Lumen Head and clicky cap. Great price.

Last light of any type, it was an LED, I purchased was in Sept. last year. It was a Preon II. The reason I purchased it was because I have been waiting for that basic light for a long time. It replaced my Streamlight Stylus Pro and Inova T1 for EDC. It combined the size of the Stylus Pro with a very reasonable high output option, wihtout being too bright which becomes problematic in some of todays lights.

Best of both worlds in the best carry size, its perfect and I do not foresee besides replacing a light that break, needing anything else.

Fenix TK45.
Bought it for a springbreak trip to Carlsbad Caverns last week based on what I have read here and it was a major hit.
Runs off AA batteries and is a light sword in my opinion.
It's my 3rd Fenix light and they have earned my loyalty.
It has now replaced my bedside 4D MagLite.

Yeah, and with the B90's being discontinued, it looks to be even les of a chance I will ever own one. Glad I stocked up on B65's (for $3 a piece, who wouldn't?), and should be set for about 5-6 years. Hopefully their will be a replacement coming around for these (even if aftermarket)...otherwise, I'll have alot of A14/AN14's laying around.

I just bought a turn key MD2 because it was 20% off.

I got a TK45 while CPF was down.. I just got a nice mount to mount it to handlebars on my mtb.
It isn't nearly as heavy as I thought it would be either (the TK45), and it is as bright as I could ever want a bike light to be. Check it out! This works perfectly.

Thats a sweet setup, BWX.

Thats a sweet setup, BWX.

Thanks!! And that mount only weighs in at 56g and the twofish block rubber connectors aren't very heavy either- Not that anyone using a TK45 is worried about weight, LOL.
I have seen some posts on different forums asking how to attach a TK45 to a bike- I think I got lucky when I bought that mount, it is perfect.

Zebralight H31CW from High Mountain Outfitters, the only place that I could find that had them in stock. Just bought a new old house (40 years old) and I will be spending a lot of time in the attic with electrical work, so I bought my 1st headlamp. Hope ZL makes as great light as seems to be the prevailing attitude on this forum. Based on the quality of info gleaned from here in the past, I'm not very worried.

Bought a Nailbender XP-G 1-mode Q2 3000K 7A3 (90 minimum CRI) Drop-in for my new Z2.

OMG beam and tint heaven

How stable is this setup? I have the light and love it.

 

[bondr006]

ZebraLight SC60 because I was so impressed with my ZL SC51. I love my ZebraLights.

 

[HIDblue]

Thrunite Neutron 1C since I was looking for a single CR123 light with a nice floody beam.

I just rode it four miles in about 38F.. like 30 minutes ago. It was solid as a rock, and I didn't use any innertube rubber or anything.. I'm impressed with it.

A load of Fenix E01 to give to family members so they can get a taste of a decent light for their keychain & to understand why I buy multiple lights . Also to show the usefulness of having multiple lights and you are not a hoarder just because you have more then one of each type.
