Anybody tried one of these? 12 LED, 1AA light.

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

Cute - yes.
Interesting - yes.
Do I want to be the first to buy one - NO.

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

That's a big 10-4.

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

For 4.99, can you go wrong?

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

Probably some nice gift flashlights. I like it.

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

I have one of those, and they are nice lights for the money. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

I have one.



The head is too damned big for comfortable pocket carry.

Also, check this out....





Top is stock, bottom its being fed by two AA's. They make a 2xAA version that should be this bright. Ordering from PickEasy you get a nice little 2x2016 micro light. I actually played with the micro light for 10 minutes before I even took the 12led thing out of its wrapper /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

I have this one also. Was it Waion (?) that sold these ?

The 12 LEDs are about as bright as 3-4 Infinity Ultras.

Not a bad light for the bucks. I keep a lithium in it, and keep it in the car.

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

Sounds like you should put a 3V lithium AA in it....

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

Is the output more spot than flood?

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

i would like to get one of these and use a 14500 in it.
where can i get one?

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

How is the fit and finish? Is it twist-on?

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

It is more spot than flood. The LEDs are recessed a good bit.

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

That's insanely cheap for a 12LED light. Just imagine what you could do with it if you could swap out the LEDs with the new 26000mcd LEDs! You'd actually get some throw from it.

See the 1st post for a link and then click for seller's other items.

I'd also like to know what kind of switching mechanism it uses - clicky, reverse clicky, momentary, twisty, tactical etc.

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

The light has a twisty. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

Hmmm, any chance there's enough room to bore it out for 2xCR2?

I may just have to go order a few...

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

Gonna have to get one of each /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

If you have some good tools you might be able to. I tried opening mine up to accept a 123 but it was a no-go.

Re: Isn\'t this cute:

Also, I dont know that it would be wise to run them on a 14500 cell. I ran it for several minutes on a single CR123a and the light got pretty hot, I think another 1.2 volts might fry it.

I modified the heck out of mine. I ground the head down, then fitted a piece of PVC pipe to it and I'm going to put a copper or aluminum pipe inside to hold a single CR123a and a switch.

It sure as heck isnt much to look at, but.....



The head is made of some TOUGH aluminum, it took me half an hour to grind it down like that. The whole thing is covered in some epoxy that will be sanded down to give a good bonding surface for some black Krylon Fusion.
