whats your favourite low level light

abarth_1200 · Jul 13, 2008

Mine at the moment is a minimag 2AAA with the TLE20 drop in, its really low, quite dispointed when i put it in but now it has a new use, and it has a nice warm tint too.

The packaging says it puts out 30 lumens but i think thats for the 2AA minimag does anyone else have this drop in:thumbsup:

I use my EDC fauxton with a half-dead battery if I want a really dim light anytime. My E01 is usually OK unless I have night adapted eyes.

I have an old rear bikelight (red light) that serves its purpose well for early hour trips to the bathroom.

A very dim light for use in situations with NO light can be useful and retain night vision well.

So thats probably a strange choice or two but it works for me! Hehe.

Stock HDS B42 with the low level set to 0.08 lumens. When even that is too bright (with fully dark adapted eyes deep in the woods at night) I add a Surefire red filter.

I never had any of my HDS modded because I didn't want to get a higher low than 0.08 lumens. It's perfect in some situations.

Hello,

I have a minimag 2AAA with a TLE-20 as well. Output should be around 11 real lumens (maybe 12 :grin2:

) so it is not too dim. It compares about equal to a Fenix E1, Peak pacific luxeon on one cell, Inova Bolt 2AAA. I like the form factor of the minimag 2AAA a lot. The only problem is the fragile replacement reflector :shakehead.

Kind regards,
Joris

3SD Q5 (Low) w/ FM34. Produces a real smooth, diffuse low :thumbsup: .

The E1L's low 3lm output is perfect for me, while the high makes this light a perfect EDC in my opinion.

I use a AA minimag with a 3 led NiteIze drop-in. Just fine for navigating around the house at night.

Fenix E0, 5 lumen/flood

Nitecore or my 120T,AA and rcr123.workable beam...My TW4 is great flood but not quit low level.

Some bi-pin 2 cell light with a 5mm LED sanded down to around 3mm LED size to fit(I don't have any fancy programmable lights or ones that have a level under 30 lumen, just using what I have around my room). I think it's a similar idea to the SmjLED drop-in(correct me if I'm wrong). Good amount of runtime and pretty simple.

L1 (Luxeon) with F04 diffuser. Surefire says its 1.1 lumen- but it sure seems to provide more light than that. It doesn't wake my wife into the "car headlights in our bedroom" panic, but still lets me see what I'm doing. (And has done so for over a year on 1 battery!)

My ARC-P DS- if I could find the ******* thing. Its with my lost keys somewhere.

Fenix E0

SureFire Kroma. Plenty of low level options.

NiteCore D10 w/trimmed water bottle cap lined with gaffer tape diffuser! Beautiful floody beam.

Gadgetman7 · Jul 13, 2008

Fenix E01 or NIghtcore D10 on low setting. The Nightcore for a bedside light and the E01 if I don't have night adapted eyes but don't want to disturb anyone.

Desertrat · Jul 13, 2008

Right now it is my Mini Mag AA with the Terra lux LED.....great for work, or usging around the house at night.

E01, Perfect level of light for a really loooooong time...
