Or I could make you an XP-G2 solitaire to run 700-760mA from 10440. Or 350-380mA from 10180 or 10280. With 10180 it’s about 53-55mm long. Cost twice as much as a Mini 01 but unique as hell. Pick your color. Black, grey, blue, red, orange, or de anodized silver( you get to wax that one).
I have the Fenix LD01 and the Olight I3s. The Fenix may have an edge, but it costs about 30 bucks. I ordered the Olight I3 here for 20 bucks and they sent the I3s. I cant say that will happen for eveybody, but it did for me. And I really like the I3s. Perfect key chain light and it has a good clip.
The protected, AW-branded 16340 is still going strong. I have it marked now and am keeping an eye on it, but it's still behaving normally after 3 charge/discharge cycles since the cleansing.
The anodizing was abraded from the leading and trailing edges of the light, but no other physical damage is apparent. I continue to EDC this light.
No, I use the Mini-123 that uses CR-123 batteries. More capacity than CR2’s. Also a light can be too small… it makes for awkward grip and use. I find the size/fatures of the Mini-123 to be perfect.
I’ve got a mini-01 BLF edition coming. I wanted something really small.
I looked at the size of a lot of the AA budget lights and they were too big for edc
for me. To me an EDC should be something to use when nothing else is around - like
getting back to your car, looking for something dropped, etc.
like my EDC knife is a little one bladed peanut knife - it disappears in the pocket.
It’s not for survival, cutting wire, etc, just everyday lightweight cutting tasks.
I’m using it now mainly as a night light. The low (3 lumens) is just enough illumination to nagivate around the night. It’s very small and slim indeed. I have also come to appreciate twisty as I can activate the light in silence, without the clicky sound disturbing others in the same room. As for EDC, the 80 lumens provided by this is too little for me, and I bring my BLF Mini around (it’s really bright!).
Preon P0 is also a nice candidate for a night light, might want to get it also
Well, I’ve only had it for a few days, but I find it is more suited to night light duty, and task lighting due to its full flood (like removing the lens from a Sipik SK-68). I do wish it had a bit more of a focused beam and neutral white but it’s still a very nice light to own.
Hi devman, I just got myself a Nitecore SENS Mini from FastTech, and some 15270, CR2 and realise that none of my chargers fit. What charger do you recommend?
