Which rechargeable light would you recommend?I like the Nitecore MH1a. Any ideas?
My three fave USB rechargeables:
1.Nitecore P25 Smilodon (with two picatinny rails!
)
2.Nitecore TubeVN (current boosted slightly.)
3.My Mophie 2 port USB power bank plus Soshine USB plugin light modules (simdx6, up to 1 watt, with touch-on touch-off, and touch-hold dimming.) Just got them in the mail and was up to 1:30 am this am playing with them, lost track of time. Having too much fun!
Those Soshine modules have a small plated hole in the end of the board, that's where you touch. Maker suggests you can put a keyring through the hole, we'll see how well that holds up. My suggestion is to get the warm version, the standard "white" is a bit too cold for me. Looks extremely moddable and there's no teardown. You're looking right at the components.
Of these 3 options, the TubeVN is the most portable. It goes on a belt carabiner, reach down and grab, quickdraw.
The Soshine USB is the most versatile indoors, they are 100% mule flood and don't reach out past a handful of yards.
The Smilodon is just plain fun. I added a Ka-bar "pistol bayonet" to one rail and a 5mw metal body laser sight to the other rail, just for fun. It's just to show people and make them double take and say "what the....?"
