UPDATED last post - Anyone knows "BRONTE" brand? New lights from them

They need to be much lower in price the jetbeam BA10 and BC10 were available for less than $30.

Of course. For that price is better to buy a "well known" one, as a jetbeam, fenix, etc...

The new Chinese manufacturers are trying to sell a "trustfire" for a price of a jetbeam.... too bad

mmm Some guy at DX forums posted this link

Interesting, but expensive compared to a itp A3

I have to admit I really like the appearance of the Bronte RA01 black. AAA/10440, Cree XP-G, M>H>L modes, Everything looks nice except that $20 price... Can't justify it when the TANK007 E09 is $11.69 on sale at DD.

Wonder if it has mode memory. Lack of a memory would really kill it.

I like the looks of the RC25, if it were a P60 host, it'd be a nice host. But like everyone else said, its a bit pricey and even more so to gamble on.

Jake of SBflashlights has them in his store.

This RA20 (2xAA) looks really nice and slim and compact, Im really interested in a light like this...

it’s a useless presentation (quick view. not review) of the light written by a dealer’s close friend and written specifically in favour of, i.e. to the benefit of that (well-known German) dealer. it’s not an independent “review” but a presentation with the dealer’s business in mind and presenting a new product.

the only useful "info" is the wallshots. the wallshots tell me: the light has no throw, no focused/tight hotspot, and a horrible green (not greenish!) tint. it seems to be a floody light with max. 80 lumens output, which can barely tailstand. It's heavy too (22grams). only the design looks nice (but then again, my Worm and Klarus look nicer lol).

I am having my cherished E09's in mind (13grams) with the nice tint and good throw, accessories, and high brightness (120 lumens output on NiMH). Price point 8.99$ or less if you shop at DD. Many boardies have bought the E09 already (incl. several copies per order).

Nonetheless i would enjoy reading a critical thorough review of it. Maybe by some new member, veer? ;)

it's true but who cares? i know.

anyway, here is the §$%&! dealer's product webpage. scroll all the way down to find "the test/review" lmao!

DX now has Bronte's 2xAAA penlight RA03. Looks good for $20.

Bam... ordered

I could buy one but i have a Terralux Lightstar 80 dispatched just today on the mail. I wonder how the tints are with these Brontes. The body definitely looks like a Preon II.

“2 x AAA/10440 batteries (not included)”

i am not sure what that means.

It means no batteries included... not the 2 AAA you should use and not the 2 10440 you shouldn't use.... unless you want to fry your light.

I guess their RA20 can be used with lithium ion battery and this is a copy paste error.

so it works with 2x 1.5V, but not with 2x 3.7V?

they shouldnt write "10440" then. 's confusing :)

Pretty sure the 2AAA can't

.... as the 2AA can't

In the dictionary there is a picture of DX when looking for "description fail"

and congrats to the purchase.

you surely like flashlights *g*

Nope, I hate them... but I can't get enough of them... those darn addictions... could be worse... could be crack... luckily DX doesn't sell it ;-)
