As you porbably have noticed, I talk and lot a buy stuff pretty rarely...
Today I got my L2T at last, this is going to replace my previous work light.
L2m (extended) was in operation for about 3 years, with high rate of abuse, dirt, throwing, dropping and lending to people.
No issues. Worked so well, that my mate at work offered to buy it just for the reason - reliability!
To tell something, it had "all corners round". Once I had to use pliers to make head round again to fit a bezel ring to it...
Sometimes it was even at places like this.
Worked overtime at maintaining a line, bad place but got good payment.
(BTW, choose Ingersoll-Rand before Bacho if you prefer airtools, that can take serious stress ;) )
Most of the time, I use it to inspect plates, searching for a press-printed marking by shadowing with light.
All-around surveillance of two lines etc like that. Flashlight is a priceless tool for me.
Here´s the new one:
Also my better houshold light, L2.
The old one when it was new. without extension:
But why L2T or P60 in general at first place? Bad throw, bad sink, old tech etc...
Well...
Form factor is perfect, ability to MAINTAIN, easiness of changing modules! Cigar grip and protruding clicky are absolute MUST for gloves on -operation.
Things I don´t need is long runtime or absence or thermal sag (99% of times it operates less than a minute at a time).
I look to about 10feet away with it, no need for throw either!
Cheap price and great quality, no need to mention them, they are obvious.
I ordered a Intl O´s 3 stage XM-L2 dropin for it, which has not arrived.
At this point, I installed a no-nonsense 1-mode Nichia @ ONLY 0.8A with OP-reflector.
Anyway, if you are still reading, you are allowed to participate in a host give away.
It is a generic 18650 flashlight without interior BUT it accepts P60 dropins.
It needs a dropin and a clicky mechanism. I bought it for only a few bucks in discount - will be shipped for free to anywhere.
This give away will expire soon, without further notice, be fast ;)
