Someone help a brother out here. I see them on sale locally, but want to know if they are any good before I go buy one.

Someone must know about these

One of the first ''high-end'' lights i ever tried, a long time ago.
I will say it was a allright torch then, a very outdated light now, with 1 AAA, Luxeon LED and not very waterproof.
The clip broke the first week.

How much do you get it at? :)

It said it lists for 40.00 and is on sale for 12.95. Thats why I was considering it.

I was looking for a cheap AAA. That was reasonably bright.

Thank you for the response. Do you think that it is worth the money?

At $20 I think an ITP A3 EOS Upgrade Edition would be better - modern LED, 3 modes so you can have both brighter and longer runtime, can even run a 10440 if you want a super-bright high. However, it's a twisty, not a clicky like the Primus, if that matters to you.

That's a good price. I would have bought one, but problaly not used it. Just a backup in the drawer or something.
The ITP A3 is a good choice, the R5 edition is a little brighter than the older Q5 version, but R5 is more floody.
