Hey guys,
I'm looking around for a light that will replace my current keychain light, the Fenix E1. I'm not wild about the beam of the E1 and I use my keychain light quite a bit.
I was looking at the new L0P SE, but the multi-stage thing is not a huge issue for a keychain light.
What I do like is good throw (long runtime is not essential as I always carry more than one light and spare cells) and a nice solid, white beam. It doesn't have to have a wide spill.
I was browsing Lighthound (my favourite light dealer) and saw the Huntlight FT-A3. I have their FT-02X, which my wife carries, and I/we are very happy with it.
These are the specs of the FT-A3 according to Lighthound:
AA powered
1 hour runtime
45 lumens output
7cm X 1,4 cm
So it's the same size as the E1, which is important, and has quite a lot more output. I don't know if it is regulated though. It goes for $34.
Does anyone have any experience with this light? Love to hear your opinions/thoughts/suggestions.
