Got the SOG BladeLight BLT 10-K. It was $9.99 delivered. It comes with two AA Energizer batteries. Also, a Kydex sheath.
However, the flashlight is DOA. I even went and bought new AA batteries, but still not working. The knife has a 9Cr18MOV blade, and a FRN handle. So it is worth $10, not a whole lot more than that, though.
Got a Rofis MR70, really liking this light so far.
I am a sucker for lights with dual output modes, and USB charging.
Also picked up a Blackfire hat light, was tired of not being able to use a headlamp when I had a hat on.
Decent light for the price, 40 and 100 lumens, though I wish it had an even lower mode.
The smallest diameter TIR zoomie on the market, Coast HP2.
I bought it despite it being a twisty because I hoped with this short zoom travel I’d be able to do a full zoom with one hand.
No chance, it takes 540 degree turn of the bezel to do the entire travel and requires so much force that I can barely move it with one hand.
Zoom travel is huge for a lens this narrow, about 4.5 mm.
The light doesn’t focus too well with the aspheric part. But beam shape is very good at the extreme bezel positions and fair in the intermediate one. In this regard it is the best TIR zoomie I’ve seen so far.
I can’t disassemble it, there’s a retaining ring closing it from the front and it doesn’t have any place to attach any tool, I guess it’s press fit.
On the 22nd of June i bought a q8 on sofirn’s website
Today I received this message:
“Hello,
Your parcel has been returned. The shipping channel stoped caused by severe epidemic in Brazil. Your orders may need long time to arrive. Would you mind the delayed delivery time?”
I know that we are in difficult times because of the coronavirus and that the news from Brazil is terrible, but I cannot explain the sadness I am feeling.
I was anxious to have a real light, watching my messages 10 times a day and now I’m empty-handed and without hope …
