Came across this odd light at this site. Disc shaped anodized Al with six LED's, two brightness modes, and a strobe mode. Uses a prismatic Li-ion battery. Also has a touch-sensitive switch (no moving parts). Not thinking about getting one, just thought I'd mention it. Looks like a UFO!

FrenchyLED has one also. I don't know if he has posted anything about it or not though.

My evaluation of the Indium is now up. Go to the Reviews forum and look for my post in my thread near the top of that forum.
I can't post the link in this thread because that would be a severe CPF no-no. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif

So, is it made of Indium =D (the metal that when alloyed will melt arouns 120 degrees, used to make trick spoons)

The Indium is made of an as-of-yet unknown metal. It feels too heavy to be aluminum, and it's not magnetic, so it isn't iron, mild steel, nickel, or cobalt either.
It is anodized inside and out - including the threads, so I cannot determine what kind of metal it is made from.
I'm pretty certain it is not made from indium - the cost of the flashlight is much too low for that. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

(A moment later): According to the website, it *IS* made of aluminum. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
