The Tank007 E06 is pretty sweet in red and is $0.40 cheaper for some reason.
my Tank E06 got hot enough to melt the solder on the led or at least i think that is what happened
my one has a SSC and 3 wires 2 of these have come detached
I ended up ordering the new Bronte 2xAAA penlight RA03 from DX for $20.
XP-G R5, 3 modes - no strobes.... perfect
Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
That Terralux is a looker! And good output, normal batteries and good runtime.
I think am ordering one for my best friend! Hope he like orange! Cos I like it in orange!
What color does a orange light become when you cook it? ;-)
It gets black if you cook it long enough. ;-) Kokopelli also has a terra on its way. I hope you both get good ones... I was put off a little by some mixed reports about them. So I did the next logical thing and bought the light with virtually no real reviews on this planet... I guess I will never learn.
I had a TerraLUX LightStar 80 and everyone at work was so impressed with it that several people bought one. It's NOT 80 lumens, not by a long shot. I would put it dead even with the similarly sized Streamlight at 40 lumens.
However, I had a Streamlight Stylus Pro also (new version, 40 lumens) and it was so green that I gave it away. Horrible color. The TerraLUX has an amazing neutral white color. It's a really nice light.
Both, the Streamlight and TerraLUX, use the Cree XP-C emitter.
To me, the Terralux Lightstar 80 looks like 50 lumens. I really like the color tint of the High CRI LED. I don't like the sharp edges on the front of this light.
It looks so good on that polished brown table. I might not part with it when I buy it :-(
I have been buying and carrying penlights for work. Over the past year i have tried three of the better ones on the market in the $20-30 range. The Streamlight Stylus Pro, the Terra Lux Lightstar 80 and the Pelican 1920.
The Stylus is a really good go to light and i recommend it for people who just want a good penlight. The Pelican is my current EDC and fav. It is slightly heavier and thicker than the Pro but not so much that i notice. It is brighter and has a nice tint. Good lite for sure.
The Terra Lux was a bit of a dissapointment to me. It has a sickly yellow tint that was just too much. I work around electronics and wires and i didnt think it had better color rendering than a warm white tint. It was sooooo yellow that it skewed everything that way.
Short answer, the Pro or the Pelican are both grewt penlights.
I am more than happy with my Fenix LD05 although it is a bit heavier than a Preon II. Has a nice white tint and three well balanced modes. PWM is a bit annoying, though.
Have you guys tried Eagletac’s penlight PN20a2? It also looks like a powerful and strong light to have.
The ICON Solo has been my penlight for a few years now. It's a solid, well build light. The only peeve I have with it is that the anti-roll bevels on the head make it a bit chunky. Other than that, it's great.
I love my E06 I have bee using it for over a year with either 2 Duraloops or one 10440. It's a great little light I can't say enough nice things about it. I also have this clip for it which makes it a thousand times more useful.
i am hooked!!
Please do you have any link for it? Is this the only product of its kind (holder for AAA-size diameter) on DX?
D*mn, i didnt want to order anything from DX again!! :P
EDIT: found it: google hits for
I was going to post the same comments. 
The Pelican 1920 and Streamlight Stylus Pro C4 are my favorite penlights, in that order.
The Pelican 1920 is brighter than my C4 Stylus Pro, but draws more current from batteries. Runtime hasn't been a problem with either light yet.
I think ric has it too ..at CQG.. I like the look of it and who doesn't love a flood to throw ..?
@parnass - may i know what's that left most light on your pic? the one with the black octagonal body. thanks.
Welcome to BLF, louph!
The Romisen RC-27 hardly qualifies for a penlight with a head diameter of 25 mm. That's more than most of my 1AA/2AA lights.
