Thanks for the feedback. I got one on the way.
Overall, the SD10 sounds about like we expected. Pretty solid. Shame about the AA holder. Hope Hank sells the X3 one seperate.
I take it the light did not come with a holster? Any accessories included?
A pic beside an EA4 would be great

Lol! Sounds like you need to jump over to "Budget Food Forum".

I don't have a EA4. Nothing came with it but a box, O-Ring and a Silver lanyard.

“A couple more” carriers does sound like a good start… i like your style.
jmpaul: I’m the same way… Not near enough water and food. Need to get on that! Don’t want those packaged freeze dried meal things though. Yuk
Hmm! I really like this one. FINALLY a nice looking 1D light, and it even works with 3xAA and Li-Ion.

I assume this runs ok on an alkaline D cell? Do you think the lumen rating and output are rated on alkaline use?

What I meant was, is this light rated 200 lumens for 7.2hrs on an alkaline D cell or NiMh D cell?

Ah sorry mate. Gotcha now.
If I had to guess I would assume they used alkies purely because they are far more common. It seems like D capability is more of an added perk for emergencies with this light, rather than a main power source.
I would expect slightly less output on NiMh.

I suspect they are using alkie and the hours seem long. They might be counting the slow run down as they fade out.
I don’t want to live in a world where there are only D cells. This seems to be a real ‘end times’ flashlight.

It certainly has that potential.
Think it will run good with NiMh too. I don’t have any NiMh D cells, but plan to run eneloops when not running li-ions. It’s always nice to have options… the more the better!

I the “end times” there will only be C cells left.
