I've received (You *know* who you are: Thank You!!!) an OD Eco tube to augment my Micra with 2AA NiMh power capabilities. It comes with a white plastic sleeve to accommodate the AAs. The length with a twistie tailcap is the same as a AA MiniMag. The tube can also handle 3x123 (sans sleeve) but is not compatible in that configuration with the stock Micra 1W regulated LED capsule. Nor can the Eco tube be used at all with the unregulated 1W capsule in the stock Mini. When Longbow releases its projected Max torch with a 5W LED, my understanding is that it will feature this same tube for 3x123 power. They also are said to be planning addtional LED capsules besides this 5W piece. A regulated 1W for a regulated 2x123 Mini certainly. With their 1x123 Micra, 2x123 Mini, and 3x123 Eco tubes, as well as twistie and clickie tailcaps, Longbow is well positioned to build on their product line's modularity with additional 3, 6, and 9 volt LED capsules. I for one look forward to further developments from this company /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif And, of course, Don McLeish's Longbow McCapsules /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Also show here is BugOutGear's Ti pocket clip (a review of which is in the reviews area)
One thing I didn't initally notice is that there is 1 ring on the Micra tube's head end, 2 rings on the Mini, and 3 rings on the Eco. Kinda neat /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif
