I have the EOSlamp SP11.Fantastic quality.
Starts in High, has square threads, AR coated lens, the knurling is up to 4Sevens quality.
You can choose your Output on High.
Kreisler,
As you may have noticed, I did not specify requirements; I merely outlined my preferences. Like you have stated, there will always be compromises.
I have the ITP A3, and I do not like the two-hand operation of the twistie. I should have got the single mode version because I always find myself twisting a bunch of times to find the high mode. But the thing is bright enough and small enough.
I think your recommendation of the Tank007 will be on my short list. Too bad it's not as small as the ITP, but it does meet most of my preferences.
I have a 701 and an E06 if you are near UNH you can stop over and check them out.
Ha! Booyah! That light is a winner! It's got everything I wanted. And cheap! Did you get the 100 lumen model? Is the lobster claw half-decent? Do you know of any reviews I can find on it?
These are all Tanks!! -- nobody recommending Fenix or what?? haha
i have begun a Tank review on the E09, have you seen it? Once you've prepared the E09 (fixed the insulation issue) it is THE itp a3 eos upgraded REPLACEMENT. comes on high, easy 1-hand operation, and you get it for 50% off from Dinodirect (With coupons and shit) if money matters. bright, and very likeable thing.
dont you ever think of buying the streamlight nano. read the amazon reviews. grueling!
I got the 70 lumen, because I knew that I like that output for EDC-ing. The claw is good.
I have just looked and I see I 4 o-rings instead of 2.
I believe there's no review on this light.
Edit:
The reflector is said to be OP but it is LOP in fact, very smoothly textured.
Thanks for the offer. I live in ManchVegas and also go to UNH-M. Small world, eh? 40 minute drive is a bit much, but it's good to know there are other enthusiasts in the area.
Cool I go down to the indoor shooting range by the airport all the time.
Hmm, I only see 38 lumen or 100 lumen. Perhaps the model has changed a bit?
They say to send you specs for the High mode if you want, that's what I did.
Maybe you can find something in one of my AAA comparisons:
Hi HKJ, are you going to make a review on that new 1AAA 4Sevens light, that will be on the market after shot show 2012? I'm really interested in a comparison to the DQG tiny II.
I am definitely going to buy it, this means it will show up in comparisons with other AAA light. Depending on time I might also do a review.
I would greatly appreciate it, even some "first impressions", as I like your style of reviewing stuff... keep up the good work.
+1
I like my $8 Blackcat that is my regular keychain light.
AAA batteries, OSRAM emitter, a nice thrower.
My other car's keychain has an Olight i2 AA
I've bought Blackcats for others several times and after the Sipik SK68 clones the B'cat is my favorite $8 light. Every flashaholic should have one. My wife has a red one these days as her handbag light.
Just so there's no confusion folks we are talking about this one and not this one...................LOL
Does anyone have comparison pictures with this & iTP A3, DQG or other such?
Very interesting light - very nice price for CC + AAA. I´m pleased to see there´s options for getting it not-so-hard driven.
I was especially Thrilled with DQG AAA´s ability to go on such a long time with "enough" power for keychain, almost without heat. Fantastic!
CC + efficiency is the way to go with AAA, I have other tools for masses of lumens :)
If I wanted a AAA clicky, I would choose the Pelican 1910.
