RMSEN RV-107

imageshack.us?

Photobucket.com works for me.

Nothing, thanks for your impressions. Interesting about the green tint - I'll still probably get one to satisfy my curiosity.

I'd swear mine isn't greenish at all, probably just emitter lottery bad luck. But I'll check mine later.

I just had another look and if I look at it on its own it I’d just say that it has a warm tint but as soon as I compare it to other lights it looks slightly green.....odd.

Might well just be my eyes, I haven't asked anyone else to take a look as my interest in flashlights is not really shared by my friends.

At best I would just get laughed at if I asked them what they thought about the colour tint of the light a specific flashlight produces.

Many of my customers think I am madder than they are. "You spent how much on that? You can get a torch from Poundland (UK equivalent of the dollar stores) you know."

I just checked mine, and yup, it's greenish, too. It seems R(o)M(I)Sen saved some bucks by buying a batch of crees with unpopular tint.

But the tint isn't annoying to me at all, it's only visible in direct comparison as Nothing said.

Just arrived today from lightake. Decent shipping time and price (under 2 weeks to the US, less than $9). My initial impression is extremely positive - very nice fit and finsh, at least as bright as my iTP keychain light, no discernable green tint, tailstands, forward clicky... what's not to like? Well, perhaps the beam shape due to the tactical strike bezel, but that's no biggie. I like it, it's a 1-AAA flashlight with cajones.

Wait, yours has got a fwd clicky!? Mine is reverse (as advertised by LT). That's not fair! :D

Definitely not fair

Perhaps my long delay in placing the order was a good thing - it gave them time to make a positive revision. Just as often, delay with these things works against me. Guess it all evens out in the end. Tongue out

Thanks for the heads up! :)

I actually had this one wishlisted over at DX since August but never got around to ordering one. I just rectified that oversight. ;)

Did you order from LT? Not sure if the forward clicky is available across the board.

This thing just oozes Romisen-type quality. Whereas the iTP is so small to me that it's only really handy on a keychain, the larger rmsen offers a little more to grasp and manipulate. I think it's slightly brighter than the iTP on high. Comes with a nice paracord lanyard, too - not a cheapy.

I did. I briefly considered ordering from DX since I have no previous experience with LT but at $8 (after rebate), I'm more than willing to give them a shot.

That's great to know. Thanks again. I give away some of my older lights (that work well on primary cells) to friends and family every once in a while and they're usually impressed with the brightness (hardly surprising, if all you have to compare it to is cheapo generic LED lights, Maglights and some old incandescent Surefire weapon lights) but it's always the Romisen lights that get compliments on their build quality.

Try the Hugsby P31/32 or the Aurora SH-034 for build quality. Beat all the others I have for build quality. Way better than any of the Romisen's I've owned.

Whishlisted. :-)

Thanks for the recommendations, Don. I appreciate it.

Really quick update because I only have a few minutes before I have to run: the RV-107 from LT was delivered yesterday. I haven't had a chance to play with it because I'm out of town but my wife says it has a reverse clicky. So it's probably from a different batch. Other than that, all I know is that it works. And she now wants one in pink. :D

I got my RV107 about two months ago from eBay, about $9, and it came with a little holster with an Ultrafire logo on it.

The flashlight seems well-made and has a solid feel, with ample knurling. The battery contacts needed cleaning right off the bat, but it hasn't shown any further functional (connection) problems since. I have no AAA to compare it to (other than an E01), but I'd describe it as a fairly ferocious little light for its size and cost.

My only complaint is the switch; it's a forward clickie, but it has to be pressed dead-center -- any lateral force on the switch plunger causes it to bind. I tried some lube with no improvement, but I'd have to say that it seems to be getting smoother with use. Might be just me.

Overall, I think it's a terrific little unit. There's no O-ring behind the lens, so it can't be very water-tight, but it's inexpensive enough that I don't worry about keeping it in a jacket pocket, so it's basically pure utility.
