Bright Star Razor

I was wondering if anyoen had heard of this light before, sounds a little too good to be true. 90 lumens/100 hours/3 aa batteries, all for 24 bucks. What do you guys think?

also its made of.....nylon???

It's probably direct drive with maybe a resistor in there, and at the 100 hour mark it will be very dim, but it looks tempting, if you want a "plastic" bodied light that runs on common batteries.

It does sound interesting but boo plastic

Not my style, to much plastic

No Regulation.No Buy.

But on a serious note, it will probably only operate at maximum brightness for the first 15/30 minutes..After that, diminishing brightness.

I wouldnt buy it.

Nope but I have emailed them, to find out more details so people can stop guessing :ironic:

Toocool, any info from Bright Star?

I had one for a day then sold it to the first guy I showed it too. it appeared to be suprisingly well built considering the dirt cheap price. and it put out a really respectable beam as well. Didn't have a chance to do a long burn on it but I left it to shine at the ceiling for more than an hour and it appeared almost as bright at the hour+ mark. then again that's a very un scientific way to do a test. you can really get a grip on it so it could make for a good cold weather/gloves light. since I'm a dealer for them I think I'll get another and do a quickie review.

I like that it has a side switch. I asked Greg at Brightguy if he had any surprise cheap lights about two weeks ago...he named this one. Said it was nice. He didn`t know if it was regulated but said he had e-mailed them to find out more info.

Maybe I'll get one. I'd probably use nimh AAs anyway, so the potential lack of regulation wouldn't be that big a deal.

I like plastic lights that are well made and feel they are better in wet and cold conditions, especially working around electricity. However, this one is way too large for the runtime 3AA cells will provide.

I e-mailed Greg, at Brightguy about the led in it.He got back to me today saying it is made by Seoul semiconductor.

This actually looks like a good light for a decent price. I like the style and side switch is good for non tactical users. DD is fine with NiMH.
