Beauty and the Beast

Thanks to polkiuj...
A Very Merry Christmas everyone... 

malkoff seems great, finding for a cheaper alternative though.. nite ize is kinda cheap but doesnt seem to be that bright.. hmm.. money money.. haha.. 

Correction.

"malkoff IS great"

Oh great.. would love some beamshot.. Haha, seems the malkoff is great indeed. But i think the disadvantage is i dont have D rechargeble batteries and charger.  

Buying them again would be a waste of money just for the maglite.

Hey, i dont see alot of hype for the Dereelight Javelin.. Looks good with optional 3AA tube and P60 drop ins.. And cheap too.. 

thank you for your support for this community !   

can get the Javelin 'shorty' version ?  [ Javelin head + C2H body + AA body ] so i can use RCR123 / 14500 batt   

Would love to get my hands on the javelin if the price is yummy enough.. 

Brought the RRT-0 out for field trip again... This time i notice sand can enter the ring selector making that course grining sound when sand and metal grinds with each other...

This could be the center piece during our gathering.   

Aighht Ladies! We are 4 days away till our major event! Here's the full info. Please read the itinerary and meeting place will be directly at KD Trail.

GATHERING UPDATE:
(Updated 6-Jan-10)

CONFIRMED Date for our KD Trail Adventure: 9th January 2010, Saturday - 8.30PM
Why I chose this date? I'm not entirely sure but it seems like a proper date and hopefully all of us can make it
Near the new year's weekend, some may not be around and probably be on holiday. And dates after that may seem a little busy as school's peak period starting up and it's also nearing CNY.

Let's discuss and confirm your attendance! So far we had successful gatherings and had met and made new friends, most importantly, checking out flashlights! This time we will have a mini adventure together, illuminating the jungle with the power of the Sun in the palm of our hands!!  (yeah ok )

===================================================
Itinerary:
We walk and we shine!



8.30pm - 9.30pm
We will meet at KD Trail Parking. See the red circle in the first map.

At the KD Trail, the parking lot is actually a very wide road (Similar like our 23Oct Gathering outdoor location), and there's a school opposite. Buses also parked there and we can park at the side without any issues. There are also people who park around there and go fishing We can also start checking out lights and beamshots.

9.30pm - 11.30pm
The trail starts at one point (near the roundabout as you can see in the map) and ends at another point down, which exits to the road. We can then walk back to our cars from there. Total walk time is 45-60mins. We can chill and test more beamshots at a 'pondok' (nearby our cars).

But first, from our starting point, we can all walk into a clearing, which we can test out more beamshots and throws, checkout other lights. It's a suitable place for these specific purposes :thumbsup: Once we're done, we'll head into the trail.

***Take note to limit the amount of lights you can carry. Manage them systematically and tuck them nicely in a bag and carry along. Make sure you are comfortable.

***After we exit from the trail and walk back to our vehicles, note that there are spider nests on the tree branches, just be careful not to run your face into them.

***Please keep the forest CLEAN from rubbish.

Depending on time, we can decide to go MANO mamak for a drink View the map above for the exact location @ Dataran Sunway.

Suggested things to bring:
- As suggested by Rookiedaddy, humidity level high, wear something comfortable
- Water bottle
- Flashlights + spare batteries
- Chocolates?
- Small bag to carry stuff and litter plastic bags if necessary
- Emergency poncho, in case it rains.
- Advise to wear shoes to protect your feet from ants and insects (just in case)

Also, if you do bring additional clothes to change and may want to leave it in the car, please put it in the car's trunk. Make sure vehicles are locked and your keys and belongings are kept secured on you. Keep a lookout for each other when we're in there. Stay safe, stay bright

Folks,

Anyone here have something to say about Nitecore EZCR2w? Read some good review about it but not really sure about this Nitecore brand...

Going to get this light later from a shop, the window display on the packing is very attractive... hope that I won't regret it.

New Reflex Flashlights....
http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?t=217217

The lights feature a new technology of 'intelligent brightness control'.

What this essentially does is adjust from 24 auto levels the correct brightness For you, by automatically dimming when it senses too much reflection.

Another one bites the dust.........


Second Dereelight 1SD R2 to be affected.

So, I dissected it....


Seems it's the silicone that got burnt.


After removing much of the silicone, you could still get a decent beam but only with the OP reflector.  Unfortunately, I over-cleaned and damaged the tiny wires. Now it has really bit the dust. 

it's too bright in here! I demand some dark so I can get it bright
thanks guys!

This is heck of a thread here. o.O

ok... i wanna play... here's mine... 

Maglite XL100's UI.....
