The neverending search for the ultimate geek light

What light has the most modes and other features?

so far the jetbeam jet-i pro is the geekyest light ive seen with
rampable strobe etc.

anything out there that can outgeek that?

Check out the ArmyTek Predator. Quite possibly the most programmable light around anywhere-I´m still trying to figure mine out :huh::duh2:.

Double post (computer acting up).

Cool Fall SPY Tri-V ?

+1 on the Tri-V. I just got a 007 and I can't imagine how much time I could spend programming a Tri-V.

The Maglite XL-100 has to be up there. Ability to dim the light by twisting wrist, as well as dimmable strobe and the ability to adjust the speed of the strobe as well.

Nitecores with ramping Ui's
Maglite xl100 with the gyro UI that knows which way is up?
HDS rotary
Nitecore ife2
Sipik68 with the flood to throw adjuster.
Lights like Quark and Thrunite That have moonlite modes

As far as I'm concerned, the geekiest light would have to be one you'd need a computer to program it with... Of course I'm talking about the NexTorch MyTorch. Speaking of which, BatteryJunction has them in all 4 flavors.

As CarpentryHero said above, the HDS Rotary. You get 4 programmable presets, which can be any combination of the rotary control, brightness settings, or strobes, along with 7 customizable options: turn on preset, button lock, automatic turn off, locator flash, momentary, burst, and customization. The light can use RCR123s or primary 123s, has temperature sensors, is practically waterproof, lifetime warrenty, etc. etc. I would like to see a light with more modes and features, let alone be as rugged and well regarded as the HDS (I don't think its "geek" though).

lol when i say 'geek' i mean that in a good way ofcourse...

YOU JERK!!! Now I went and ordered one of those MyTorch lights, just because it looks cool (AA model)

I mean: "Thanks for pointing out a light that may have great potential for me."

I have no willpower.

Will a mod please close this thread and make it go away. I'm gonna need a third job.

Flashlights are to me like heroin is to a junky. I wonder if I can wean myself off by hanging out in candle shops?

Nominate LiteFlux LF2XT as the geekiest, on the strength of the ability to read out instantaneous battery voltage via blink codes, along with many many other features. Would be interested to hear if there are any others that do that.

I'm thinking SPY Tri-V, LF2XT, ArmyTek Predator and NEXTORCH MyTorch 18650. Out of this lot, probably the NEXTORCH MyTorch 18650, it can't get any geekier than a flashlight that requires a computer to program it. :naughty:

ok so i looked some of these models up.

where can you buy that Tri-V thing, and how much do they go for?
as a childhood fan of the original star wars movies, im severely attracted to this one.
looks pricy, but its prolly the next best thing to owning an R2-D2 unit from star-wars
(and none of that irritating bleeping either )

also that Mytorch looks pretty kewl, and are well within my pricerange.
how would u guys rate the quality of that one?

They are custom made by a CPF member here ("Data") for, ummmm, ... $3,295 (!) -- CPF member price was $1,995 I think, but they've been sold out for some time now.

The Cool Fall manufacturer thread suggests that another run may be planned for the near future, though.

2 grand for an AA light and it sold out?

No
2X123 batteries makes the price much easier to handle hahaha

Quark RGB!

Oooh yeah that is geeky!
In a good way.........
