thrunit ti with moonlight mode
or a thrunite t- 10
t-30 ?
and then eat it to death….
Or look for an E1320 modded UF-2100 with moon mode.
Hi.
Thrunite T10 is a good and cheap option. The new Olight I3S have moon mode (0.5 lumens) is small only aaa, will last several nights.
The red LED “EA1 explorer” can be useful.
Safelight’s 9V PALight, glow mode (moonlight mode) glows for over a year.
Well priced, I have three for checking on baby Colin at night
I use an Eagletac D25C clicky, but I don’t leave it on all night.
The LED display on my clock/radio/alarm is too much light in the bedroom at night for me... Plenty of light for walking around at night after your eyes have adapted to the dark.
I don't know why they started using blue or green LEDs; red ones were much less intrusive at night.
What you need is a joule-thief...
$20
firefly(0.09lumens 147hours) -> Low (3 lumens, 30hrs )
I’m a bit of 1xAA moonlight mode collector, and have measure my lights with a DSLR. According to approximate price -
$20 ThuNite T10 XPG - 0.13 > 13 lms
$25 L3 Ill. L10, N219 - 0.03 > 2.5 lms
$45 Eagletac D25A Clicky XML (2012) - 0.3 > 2.5 lms
$55 Foursevens QP (or T)A XPG - 0.2 > 2.5 lms
Their all good and I’d be happy to buy another at their respective prices. I think the T10 is the best value though.
Also have a few Zebras, which are good lights, but I’m not a fan of the company policies and so don’t recommend them.
Sorry in my previous post, I say that the red LED on the EA1 is good for the night.
But I made a Runtime Test with eneloop, the result is disturbing, only 6 hours of Red LED.
I have already been contacted Nitecore, I hope their response
The Preon P0 with it’s full flood and Moonlight/Med modes is really good for this too. The magnet is useful if you have something magnetic (e.g. draw/cupboard handles) you could attach it to.
doingoutdoor had it for $17 a few days ago but I can’t find any of their 4sevens stock anymore for some reason.
Available in 3 or 4 mode:
1,3,30,120 Lumen
3,30,120 Lumen
Runs on (1) AA battery, either Alkaline or NiMh
$20
Meets your “runs all night” spec as well:
————————————————————————————
firefly(0.09lumens 147hours) -> Low (3 lumens, 30hrs ) -> Medium (30 lumens) —> High (120 lumens, 1.5hrs) -> (Tested with Ni-mh battery with actual capacity 2500mAh)
————————————————————————————
Damn, now I want one…
As others have already suggested, either a Preon P0 or an L3 Illumination L10. The former is convenient with the magnet, the latter is AA so will last longer.
Ups for more suggestions :party:
Black shadow terminator and dont lock it out, see johnnymacs review for details J) 0:)
Hi gords, I already have the Black Shadow Terminator. I don’t really like the green colour of the “firefly mode”, and JohnnyMac has suggested that I could change it to a white LED, but this BST is so nice I don’t feel like tearing it apart.
While I don’t have a suggestion for an actual torch, or flashlight, I just want to suggest that rechargeable batteries, maybe NiMH, might save you money in this situation.
I have a couple of torches from LIDL, and they have low modes (although I reckon the low modes are more like 30 lumens than “firefly” or “moonlight” 0.x lumens) which I use to provide dim illumination all night, and NiMH rechargeables work out at virtually no cost in the long run
Mrs D looks HOT dancing at the foot of the bed in garters with the strobe going… Oh wait… You were talking a bout a light for sleeping…. :bigsmile:
