What were these lights from back in the day?

They had a Star Trek phaser form factor. A button on the top, a few LEDs on the front. Several modes, from very dim and long-lasting to a bright flood. They ran on a single 9 V battery.

Perhaps you remember the Pal lights? 9volt....


Or, the AA powered Eternalight ?...

Omg! I was going nuts trying to figure out what OP was describing. That may be it.

The early 2000s had a ton of invention and experimentation going on. Technology Associates still has the Eternalite Elite Max available. Remains a very useful area and waterproof emergency light with the modification to new high cri 5mm emitters. The "new " owner is a very nice and knowledgeable chap.

Eternalite is the one I'm thinking of; thank you!
I still have a Palight; it's great too, even with its lone LED. It's the PERFECT nightstand light.

I had both the Etetnalite and the PAL lights at one time. Gave the Etetnalite to a family Girl Scout for a camping trip, and gave the PAL to her younger brother to help avoid sibling squabbling. Neither became a flashaholic, but both have a better than average appreciation for a quality pocket torch, so I suppose that's something to celebrate.

The CPF edition with the user replaceable led holders was made for a bit. There wasn't a lot of options in the 3mm and 5mm realm at that time. Still using and appreciate the design. My wife likes the blue beacon to locate the light.

LED recomendations for CPF EliteMax

Good evening all! Some of you are probably aware we released the CPF edition EliteMax a few weeks ago: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=91813&highlight=eternalight Since it has interchangeable LEDs, I was hoping for some suggestions from CPF members as to what LEDs in...

Sadly, the elitemax had a nice translucent lexan case. The case was BAD about cracking at the screw anchors. The cheaper, solid black, abs cases did not do this.

I've owned 4 and still have 2.

I have the Ergomarine, yellow body, I never thought of changing the LEDs. On the lowest setting it runs for a very long time.

I still have both the Eternalite Elite Max and many Pal lights and still use them. I also have an Eternalite Derringer as well, whose momentary function is perfect for hanging on a neck lanyard and using to check equipment.
