| | Glo- Toob! < on 1/13/2006 3:22 AM >
| | | Just got a Glo Toob, for 20 dollars US, and the thing is really cool. It's an FX, i'm not sure what that means, but it's a little bigger than a double A battery, i got it in blue (of course), and it has seven light modes: (There's one switch, a twist on-off.) Equal Strobe: _ _ _ _ _ _ Beacon Strobe: .. .. .. .. .. Slow Strobe: . . . . . SOS: ... _ _ _ ... _ _ _ Throb: 0-0-0-0-0 (hard to describe in symbols, it's like the light's intensity goes up and down, over and over) 100% Constant On: ====================== 25% Constant On: ---------------------- It's not as powerful as a medium- size flashlight/lantern, but it could be useful as a signal in case of emergency, and the battery life is 30-80 hours on a single battery, depending on mode. Oh, and it's waterproof up to 3,500 meters, weighs 36 grams (1.3 oz.), and operates anywhere from -20 C to 80 C (-4 to 176 F). Also, they come in Red, Amber, Blue, Green, White, and Infrared. They're pretty cool, and provide just the ambient light I need when UE'ing. Thought I'd let everyone know.

| | | the difference between the Glo-Toob and the Glo-Toob FX is the FX can do 1. 100% Constant On 2. 25% Constant On 3. Equal Flash 4. Beacon Strobe 5. Slow Strobe 6. SOS 7. Throb and the Glo-Toob has only 100% constant on.. basically all it matters is the FX can last anywhere from 30-80Hrs and the original only goes for 30 (not at max brightness..) Then theres the Glo-Toob IR which is the same as the FX only it's an IR light.. and as for buying them just Froogle it.. or try random stores, although I have never seen them in stores..
