| | | I'm hooked on LED Lenser products - about a year ago bought 7438 and was satisfied with it, even though it wasn't the best product from them. Highlights of LED Lenser: focusable, LED, bright, water and shockproof. Only drawback is the AAA batteries - I would prefer something with more capacity. Recently I bought LED Lenser H7 headlight - focusable, dimmable, pretty light and damn powerful. This torch now satisfies my UE enlightenment needs just fine - and in battery pack there is a place for AA batteries with some modification, or even Li cells - with some knowledge in electronics and fiddling around to find a way not to kill the Cree LED. Ability to change the focus - one of the most important/required features of torch in UE, i guess - especially, if you use the torch as a light source for your UE photos, where spot (default setting for non-focusable torches) simply doesn't fit (especially in close-ups).

| | | Posted by Ashes in the Snow website say's it is backordered and can't get anymore... any other places for this flashlight at a good price?
| Yeah, that's the only source, since they're the manufacturer! However, all is not lost. That link is to the neutral-white version, and the cool white version is still available. If it's any consolation, the cool white version are slightly brighter than the neutral/warm white lights. Now, they've just upgraded all the lights, from R2 emitters to R5 ones. The difference in output is about 15%, which sounds significant but really isn't in practice. This is relevant because they're selling out the R2 versions at a discount, and throwing in a free 'Prism' headband and diffuser kit to turn the thing into a headlamp (kit is normally $20)! If I was buying a quark now, I'd get this: Quark AA Tactical, R2 edition (which ships with free Prism kit) Quark 123 Body, which will let you use the above with 1 CR123A battery. Or, alternatively, the 1xAA body, though running on a single AA will be substantially dimmer. One of the guys on the Torch, Flashlight and Portable Lighting board arranged a discount code with 4Sevens: UER10. I'm not sure if that will work with the already-discounted R2 light, though. Hooray for gadget shopping!

| | | Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that yesterday, I bought a 10-million candle power cordless re-chargeable spot light. I tried it out in the Wellington tunnel in Montreal, Québec, Canada, and it was amazing. Of course, It's pretty big and bulky, but, it gives away such a wide light stream. I would say that it's ideal for big buildings, tunnels, sewers, etc, etc.... If you're a good gang exploring, take turns carrying it.

| Unfortunately, this spotlight is not as good as I thought. The light burnt out and I didn't even use it that much. The bulbs are very difficult to get and they are $16.95. I do not want to spend that amount of money 3 to 4 times a year just for lights. DO NOT BUY THIS TYPE OF LIGHT.
