I've always wanted one of those and if it weren't for the colored LEDs around the outside I might consider it. Would be an easier sell if they were all white LEDs or maybe all green.
As others above, had this on my DX wish list since it was released, but could never justify the cost.
Still can't, but what the hell.
Edit - 'Congratulations! The deal you made on DX Offers has been successful. Minimum number of buyers has been met. We appreciate your purchase. And we will arrange the shipment within 5 working days. Please be patient with DX.'
Please be patient with DX? I guess we're all used to doing that.
Oh no...it has stepless adjustment, too, just like the UF-H3. Damn it! Now it's appeal just overrode the colored LEDs. $38 is still a lot of money compared to some other lights I want to get that will be used more. This is really just a shelf queen but such a AWESOME looking shelf queen. I still have a few days to talk myself out of it.
Maybe you don't need to talk yourself out of this deal. Remember that DX offers are NOT unlimited. In fact if you browse older deals you can see that some of them were sold out after as little as 6 or 8 pieces (or something similar).
So just wait a couple of hours / days and others will decide on behalf of you. :)
(Or then just go ahead and buy one while stocks last :D After all, it looks AWESOME, as you said!)
BTW: The don't ruin the look, because they seem to be white/clear as long as they are not lit (see this photo). And you have to lit them separately, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Great idea! I just ordered a pack of those LEDS a couple minutes ago. I will carefully disassemble the torch to see if I can mod it and if I can I won’t have to wait another month for the LEDs to come in to do it.
