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!
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.
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'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 notthis one...................LOL
i have 2 BlackCats, 1 Tank007 TK-703, 1 1/2 iTP A3 Upgrades*, and one CQG S1. the A3 and BlackCat are my favorite. one's a twisty, the other clicky. the BlackCat is bigger and less refined with only one mode, but it's built well and has worked well for me. i'm not terribly fond of the twist action of the A3, but it's a nice light, small, and bright. the beam is very smooth too. the Tank i don't like so much because of it's rattly tail switch and the fact that it flickers and loosens every so often. the S1 i just got today so we'll see how it does. it's very thin -- they weren't kidding.
i've pretty much been searching for the same light as you and haven't found anything to match my needs -- wants, really since all my lights do what i need -- exactly. i've been using a AA TrustFire F20 at work but want something smaller so i ordered the Tank E09 and some 10440s so we'll see how it goes. they're twisties so i had to compromise since i wanted a tiny clicky (i don't think such a light exists).
* head is missing on one of the two i have. anyone have a head for an A3 Upgrade they don't need anymore?
