I found some cool lights while shopping

Well, I was shopping in Kansas City, and I saw in the Sharper image store a rebadge Nuwai Q3. Also, in the discovery channel store there were Inova X1s in blue, red, and orange. Interesting....

I saw that too. I'm new to LED lights and would you mind telling how how good of a light that is? I did get their Inova 3 watt light for starters and do need some more. Thanks.

you want to know how good the rebadged Q3 is? It is not as bright as the XO3, but it is really small. I like it... here is a review:

And the X1: http://flashlightreviews.com/reviews/inova_x1.htm
Very little flood, supposedly good when you need light without disturbing others.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but I saw an interesting new Energizer light (laugh if you must), and if is called a 2 in 1 light. It has a spot beam when closed and open it up it turns into a mini lantern complete with a frosted encasing to diffuse the light. There are artifacts in spot mode as there is a magnifying thing at the lens. Thing runs on 4 AAA and has a runtime of 80 hours, the thing cost $12.99 I believe at Target. I bought it and it seems nice and bright (kinda reminds me of the hot intensity of the Inova X series but I don't really care for that. I like the lantern mode and seems more useful as a night light.

Duh!
Well, that's not the light I saw. It is: http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/productview/sku__FL028 which is a 1 watt Luxeon.
I really do love the XO3 and ordered another one.

Merry Christmas to all!

happy birthday:

The most amazing thing I found was that Target now sells about 4 different brands of LED lights, including- Dorcy, Inova, Rock River.

Don't forget the Eddie Bauer (LED Lenser?) LED lights sold in the camping department.

Gee, how nice of you to remember!
Seriously, thanks for the link. I went ahead and ordered one to go with my XO3s.

I saw what looked like a q3 at my sharper image. I've never seen one in person before so I am not sure. it was selling for $29, which seems like a good deal. The same store also had another small 1 cr123 light for around the same price. They had a inova XO3 I think for around 60 or 70 bucks. This was the sharper image in glendale, or burbank, can't remember which.

Got my 1 watt Sharper Image light today. Pretty impressive, especially for $29.
It's very nice package in that it's compact and brighter than I expected for such a small light. Isn't technology great?

Happy New Year to all!
