Need a Flashlight like

idiotekniQues · May 19, 2007

my inova x5 but regulated.

basically i want a small LED flashlight that is more floody but has a regulated battery life. the surefire propolymer ones do not either. it doesnt have to have 5 LED's or be metal - just a similar amount of power in a similar sized package. i dont mind if its bigger so i can get more than a couple hours of regulated light.

i also dont want to spend a ton of money either

what is a good deal to suit my request?

Well, it's not really regulated... but still worth looking into... http://www.peakledsolutions.net/Products/Kilmanjaro_HA_7LED.html
Replacing the batteries in this would be a lot cheaper, too.

Regulation is great to have... but not necessary. With regulation, you usually (but not always) get shorter runtimes and less warning of a low battery.

I have this and really like it quite a bit. Brilliant white flood and a nice red LED to boot. I would highly recommend this light. I got it at Lowes Home Improvement.

It's a lot more work but I have modded my X5 with Nichia CS LEDs and a Downboy regulator. It's true regulation but current sharing may be uneven. Sucks batts really try too. Great throwaround, tough-as-nails light.
Have fun with all the options.
What about the Photon Proton?

The Draco is the smallest, floodiest light available (until the Drake comes out, which will be even smaller).

Not sure if these meet your "don't want to spend a ton of money" requirement or not.

I'd love some details on how you got into your X5.

Hi kitelights.
The so-called freeze-pop method worked:
Fill the torch with (preferably boiled (now cool) to remove the air) water and replace the tailcap. Put it in the freezer for a few hours. The bezel will be gently pushed out. Repeat once or twice and you are done.
A search on "freeze-pop" might get you some pics! Good luck.
