Wah, a week+ didnt login and we're at V2 liao..

Anyway, on AA flashlights being non-collector's item, i disagree...
I only stick to AA flashlights, whether it's AAx1 or AAx8, it doesnt matter..

You see, i travel a lot...come Oct i will be off to NZ for a couple of months.. Most of the time i would be somewhere between a mountainside and the coast, so unless i am able to get myself a reasonable hostel/motel, i wont be able to charge any CR123 bateries..and i doubt i could jst go into a mini market and buy a couple of CR123s.. Though on the other hand, AA/AAA will definitely be sold anywhere from the artic store to the desert mini mart...

Or maybe i am one collector that collect flashlights with combination of ease of use... No doubt CR123 flashlight have higher output and are smaller in size...but for my situation, i need a flashlight with 100% possibility of getting it's primary anywhere when my rechargeables ran out of juice.. Your flashlight is only as good as the batteries that powered them..without either one, it's jst a bulkier case of holding dead cells...


Added : And one more thing, i do love CR123 flashlights when i am back home in Malaysia... :>

Hi bro,
I dunno how much is the maglite LED bulb, but i think it's not worth investing in coz i have the 3xAAA LED Mini Mag and seriously, its kinda disappointing.... i would suggest u to get other brand of LED light...

And btw, i have a LED by Nite Ize for 2xAA mini mag..and it's jst as bright as Energizer's keychain LED...nothing to should about..and considering i purchase them from Ebay US, it's kinda pricey and not worth while... In fact, i bought 2 pairs..with one still in it's sealed blister. If you're interested, i could sell them to you, hehee...though seriously, i dont recommend them.. It s not bright enough to be useful...

I agree with Pseudoblue...

The EagleTac P100A2 is rather cheap for a 225 lumen..and i like the solid built of it...and size, not too small and neither too large, exactly at comfy grip size... the momentary on/off is very useful as well... the only thing lacking is a strobe... a minor inconvi..

Used it twice so far...
Once was when i was waiting for my gf in a car at night.. There were like a dozen or so other cars and she couldnt pick out which one's mine...

2nd was when i went with some Rela/bomba/police members for a night ops rescue.. It was published in the paper some time back, 2 brothers of snr age was lost while trekking in Moon Gate, Penang. My strobe was used to notify some sergeant about our teams' whereabout among the sea of flashlight and people. The 2 brothers were lost on 5pm and rescued by 7am the next day.... I went back around 4am after a 3 hours search, so didnt really do anything much, kekee...except to test out my newly bought Fenix LD20..

strinq, i seldom go into CPF coz it loads prett slow.. dunno why but other forums are pretty fast... And yea, i could use the momentary on/off on the EagleTac P100A2, but strobe is more fun ma, kekee...

Polkiuj, ur right..it's 195 lumen instesd of 225.. and since then i have been EDC on P100A2.. Must be a bit blur after came back from watching Laughing Gor:Turning Point.. :>

I have a friend staying in Singapore and he will be coming back by Mid of September. If anyone's interested, i will have him check how much it is selling (eneloopies) in Singapore and update you guys. Hopefully it will be cheaper since Malaysia have a 23% tax on batteries...

Did they say anything about sending the clip to previous owner of LD10 & LD20? Jst trying my luck...

I am with you on this bro..i would love to have that clip on my LD20.... sadly..

I nearly got the MOLLE from Pentagon...but since they went kaput now, i would wait for the Mc-10..hopefully the price wont turn me away...

But i dunno why some ppl think it's fugly...the design of it is so you could clip onto your MOLLE vest (or anything that matters today) and to have it stand on one end acting like sort of a table lamp..

Used to have the older bigger version during our 40km scout walk...and boy was it huge..!! Not to mention it's dim compared with LED we have today....

Gwen aka Nie, do keep us posted when your boss bring in this MC-10 k...

pseudoblue, comparing Imedion and Eneloop, which one's better..? in term of longer lasting..? Coz i know prices for them differ by RM2.50 each over here...

polkiuj, so far i havent come across any flashlight that's ugly, kekee... Some are plain simple or sophisticated, but ugly jst never cross my mind about them...

Thanks man! Will go through them...


Added : Jst gone through them...and seems like for flashlight usage, Imedion's gonna be slightly better than Eneloopies... I am planning to get 16 rechargeables..and with Imedion, i could save RM2.50 x 16 = RM40...

But i am still undecided...coz Eneloopies are more well known, so i know the quality is there... How about Imedion..? Anyone can help me make up my mind..?

Nightstalker1993, yup..the Imedions are cheaper by RM2.50 each...

Justin78, hahaa..seriously, i never cross my mind about that.. Thanks man..least now i could try on both worlds and see which one suits me better down the road...

pseudoblue, i dont have Maha chargers..will be using Sony charger instead...so hopefully results wont differ much...

Thanks a bunch guys..! Guess it's 8 each then...

Finallly, got my 8 Eneloopies... 8 Imedion coming up...!!
