Welcome lab34. I don't really have any good suggestions for you. You could get this torch for @ $14, which has a decent strobe and is quite small. It doesn't come with a clip, but one could be made easily. I'm not overly crazy about any sort of strobes, so I won't be much help.
As far as emergency lights go, The Pak-Lites seem to be pretty popular.
I have ordered an XPE F23 in mid-january from dx but I think it's lost.
I have ordered another one yesterday from manafont and I'm trying to have a refund from dx...
Simple reflective strips accomplishes a lot without having to power anything or be walking down the street like a crazy becon.
Survival is a different story .. for people who want to walk their dogs i think a disco ball is a little much ..i also wonder if cars don't actually hit lighted objects more since they focus on them .
Welcome to BLF if you tell people what you r thinking than these guys are a great source of information .. well some of them anyway .
I heard that from another member just a minute ago that he was past 45 days from dx and worried … i said no need to worry about dx not sending it ot going out of business etc… just worry that you might die first .
In fact, I agree with you Boaz. A simple reflective strap will do the job.
I'm in a Gear Acquisition Syndrome period, and I have a few stuff currently shipping from the bay. I will stop here for a few weeks ;-)
I own a solarforce l2r r5, and I'm waiting for the F23 (two F23 with the lost one !), a sipik sk68, a slave flash for my point and shoot camera, a few 3mm leds to try on my minimag... All of that in less than two month... I should have not read this message board !
I have also ordered an Hugsby P32 from KD but after two weeks of back ordered status, I ask and obtain a refund...
"Gear Acquisition Syndrome period" also known as ...G.A.S.P. gasp .Whew ..take a breath ...
I said it earlier .. probably Dx and Kaidomain and a few others ..i wouldn't worry about too much ...I'd just enjoy the stupidity of it all and think , y'all must be mad ..!! having 15 or 20$ floating around with these guys doesn't phase me much .. but ebayers ?? that's a different story ...i figure if ebay and paypal are getting paid every time I turnaround ..I might as well actually use one of their services .. .. I'm pretty done with ebay .. its 95% junk anyway ....RANT RANT RANT .. sorry
I would have waited on the hugsby from kaidomain.. just order from these guys and forget about it ... I ordered a couplr of things locally and bang it was here in 2 days ..crazy fast ..
nice to know if i want a thrunite catapult v.2 for 160$ it will be waiting at the door 3 seconds after my Credit card is Ok'd .
