Zweibruder LED lights

[**DONOTDELETE**]

As usual, I stopped by the flashlight section of a local sporting goods store and discovered a light I hadn't seen before. On an impulse, (ok, an irresistable force that draws me to LED lights), I grabbed the carded flashlight labeled "TekTorches Photon Pump V8 Torch with computer chip technology".

They seem to be manufactured by a company called Zweibruder and distributed in the US by Coast.

It's a little smaller than my Arc AAA, and slightly brighter as well. It claims to get 200 hours from the 3 button batteries included, and has really impressed me so far.

I did a search on the forums, but couldn't find any reference to Zweibruder, and I was wondering if anyone else had found these, or one of their other models.

Here, Craig reviews it on his Led Museum Site

It is also labled under the Eddie Bauer label sold at Target stores across the US.

Guess that review (like a number of others) is a little out of date; as I'm no longer out of LR44s. I ought to have around 75 or 80 of those things floating around here from a recent ebay purchase.

It isn't an excellent, top-notch light, but it isn't a terrible, horrible light either. For light-duty use or life's little day-to-day emergencies (looking for a dropped pen, reading a menu, or aiming for a keyhole), it should suffice quite well if that's what happens to be handy at the moment. But it probably won't withstand heavy-duty usage and severe abuse as well as some of the other smaller lights available today.

Thanks for clearing it up. It looks like it's distributed under so many names, I just didn't find the right ones.

It's interesting...some of the light shows such a decent design, then other parts (like the feel of the switch and the lack of a protective lens) detract from it. Overall, for brightness and an around-the-house light, I'm pretty happy with it. Especially if it actually gets 200 hours of battery life...
