Lights I bought that work but I still hate...

BLFer hated his flashlight… what he did next will shock you!

Shouldn’t this include a link to the G700 or one of the spec ops approved lanterns?

no - he hated it because it had those pointy taser prongs - LIGHT SHOCKS MAN!

wle

2D incan Maglite with a Malkoff 2D LED drop-in. Tint: bright green…

Maybe it’s not a 2D, but a 2S or 2T. :smiley:

(Okay, why’d I think that would land?)

S42, and I was lucky that mine worked right out of the box. The UI is just awful…not sure what they were thinking with that UI.

Haha, maybe!

My 75mm aspheric head UniqueFire 1508. Nice light, with a lot of potential, but the head must be almost completely unthreaded to get the beam to focus. And it’s not a zoomie, so out of focus isn’t a very useful beam.

I forget the model off the top of my head…but that single AAA Astrolux…I have the copper one. I don’t like how short the threaded section is and don’t like the UI.
I’ll probably give it away to someone at some point.

Ugh, the A01 with next mode memory? Yeah, I made the mistake of buying an aluminium version of that thing.

I’m in for the GAW! I’ll trade out those junky innards for something that’ll REALLY shine! :wink:

That’s funny, after I read a few posts I started thinking that’s what this thread might turn into.
Let the swap-meet begin LOL.

I’ll take that unloved DV-S9. :smiley:

Dunno what lights I have that I “hate”, that don’t Really Truly suck. :smiley:

Trust me… you don’t want an AT01. Not unless you like garbage.

Purchased this Revtronic AA light, and regret buying it.
It was less than $10 and pretty useless at this moment.

Modding will bring it new meaning but the host isn’t quite good.

I don’t really regret buying any of the lights I have actually.

I have lights I bought back in the day that don’t work anywhere near as nicely as the newer ones do, but I don’t regret buying them.

At the time I didn’t know any better, and they were upgrades compared to what I had before.

I didn’t buy this one, it was actually a giveaway, but adding it here:

My Nitecore EC4. It’s a well built light, and I like the configuration and features, but the parasitic drain is horrible. I’ve lost two sets of cells that this light drained down to 0V in a surprisingly short amount of time.

An Eagletac double A clicky. Was super bright but if it was in low mode and you ever so slightly touched the head it would for a fraction of a second be in turbo mode. Very bad quality control for a $60.00 flashlight.

I dont hate any of my lights because I research like a crazy about it :smiley:

Im only bit sad with the tn40 and their hand heater on turbo mode, but it can handle very well even burning my hands :stuck_out_tongue:

Zanflare F1 has got one foot on a banana peel. Double click to get to turbo seems iffy and I don’t think I’m ever going to like the tail-switch itself. If I wasn’t cycling through the modes half of the time instead of getting turbo I could learn to live with it. I got this light at a bargain basement price it should be easier to like.

To be continued…

Hmm, can’t speak to the doubleclick-to-turbo, but I rather like the tailswitch. It’s got a nice “snap” to it, like the metal switch on the S2+, not the usual mushy rubbery feel of most tailswitches.
