Hi and greeting to all my fellow lowyat.net forumers! I usually troll around the wii and xbox sections, didn't know that there is a Torchlight collectors post in lowyat.net too. Hehe.. I recently just bought another torchlight from Pelican. This time a Trekker light so I can go hiking in FRIM this weekend with my wife. smile.gif It's black colour. My other ones are a Nemo and a Sabrelight which I use for Diving. No problems with either (so far), except that the Sabrelight was flooded during one of my dive trips. smile.gif But I got it replaced by one of the Pelican distributors here in Malaysia and they were nice enough to inform me that the Sabrelight is not meant for diving (bought mine from hobby sports but they were kind enough to help me get replacement parts even though I didn't buy the Sabrelight from them). thumbup.gif

I think they are located in Jalan Klang Lama. They web address is http://www.peli.com.my. I can't remember the phone number of their showroom from the top of my head but I think it's on their website somewhere. I called them up and spoke to a girl name Angeline. She was really friendly. She said will help with the replacement of parts even though I didn't buy it from them. I felt bad so last Tuesday, I went back over there and bought a Trekker light and a 1500EMS case to keep my Ipod, PSP and handphone dry while I dive from them. smile.gif Great customer service. Highly recommended! thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Btw, what do you guys think of the Surefire lights? Is it any good? What is the price range I'm looking at? Is it more expensive than Pelican lights? I saw some at the Curve the other day...

Is there any Surefire lights which are reliable in terms of mid to high lumens and long burn time. I'm actually going to use it for a trip to the Taman Negara in Pahang. I'm looking at around 12 hours burn time so I think I might need a high intensity LED bulb. My Pelican Nemo has only 85 lumens, so not very good in misty and foggy enviroments. Any suggestions?

If you plan to use your light in foggy and misty areas, it's better to get an incan. But then again, incans only have an hour's runtime.

It would be kinda expensive to maintain but more appropriate for foggy areas.

Unless a neutral white LED may be a type to cinsider... Better runtime... I have nevver tried a neutral white in misty environments so i don really know... haha

I have tried my G2 in Genting and the beam just cuts through the mist!! Cool.. Whereas the beam of my G2L dispersed instantly

I'll look into incan. Many thanks. smile.gif I'm planning to use the torchlight mostly for morning hikes so might get a bit misty in the jungles. smile.gif
