Any ideas for a groomsman gift? I was thinking the Sipik 68 which can run on normal AA's for non flashaholics. The L2r with drop in seems a little expensive with everything else purchased. Any other budget single mode AA light is open to suggestion. What do you guys think?
The CQG S1 (ric-cn is currently doing the BLF logo for) looks good. If you can wait till someone gets their grubby little paws on it for a review, then you'd probably be happy picking them up bulk (10 pcs @$12/pp) w/out the BLF logo
Or.. wait for the mystery AA successor...
SS bling lights, it'd probably cost more to get them engraved than the light... but a nice gift still
I know you said a flashlight, but have you considered a knife instead? I would have loved to get one of these as a groomsman present instead of all of the mugs and glasses that I have received. I could actually use a knife or flashlight! Ka-bar Dozier for $18 shipped from amazon.
LOL…you can keep them. We get lucky with tmart because they ship out of Brooklyn, NY and being in PA I’ve got some items in 2 days. Only had one bad item not as described and they refunded my money quickly and paid for return shipping. Most of their lights are older stuff so i don’t use them as much as I’d like but they sell a great variety of other things.
Good to hear Tmart ships out of Brooklyn. I just checked the registered mail from HK everyday for almost a month waiting on lights. Worst part... registered mail meant someone has to sign for it, so I had to wait a few extra days to get to the US Post Office. Terrible. Just leave it at the doorstep like Amazon.
Devman - if you feel like making the trip from canada you're in. Haha. Strobes instead of bubbles/rice walking out of church? No cleanup
I'm going to second this light …As a AAA keychain light …or for the same 12$ you can get the S2 AA’s …Might want to wait for neutrals with r4 emitters and 14500 capabilities …and a blf logo too
Still haven't decided on a flashlight yet. Somehow this forum has made me pull the trigger on a Sanrenmu 710 folding knife in addition to a medium size Nike/Adidas duffel bag, some golf balls and a bottle of their favorite liquor. Acceptable gift? (depending on the flashlight choice of course) Haha. Call it their "survival bag".
Trustfire R5-A3 is a great light i give away frequently. if you order 6 or more you can get them from DX for 13usd. more at manafont (almost 17usd) but it might be more recent stock and they ship pretty fast.
high-medium- and strobe, pocket clip, well made, will eat anything (14500, eneloop, supermarket batteries), run times are conservative but for non-flashlight people i have never had any response to this light but, "wow".
as i have said before, if they dumped the strobe and made that mode a useable low. this would be the killer sub 15usd light for non-modifiers.
