apart from the mentioned lumintop...theres also the fenix LD02 which starts on medium.
for single mode, for me its none other than the olight i3e...and theres also the thrunite t01...but these 2 are twist to start.

anyway, for inspection purposes...most of these have reversible clips so u can hook it to a cap.

this is now available from GW2U: Olight i1R EOS (GadgetWorld2U)









Also just received 2 new flashlights for review and testing...

Currently using Fenix PD35 2014 model.
Fail twice from drop test. Below 3meter. Too so long to claim warranty.

Plan to buy new flashlight.
My preferred >>>>
- less than 14cm
- use 18650 battery
- there is a mode between 80-180 lumen
- must pass drop test.

Any recommend?

you okay with ordering online?

-Convoy S2+ XP-L HI with Biscotti Firmware (preferred)
-Sofirn SP31 or SP32

Maybe your fenix failed from just loose connections? Tried tightening the brass rings yet? Maybe that will revive your light.

Not the connection problem.

Tq for the info. May look for it first.

Anyone know streamlight dealer in malaysia? Try to search the web. Found 3 dealer. Looks like not really active anymore

ya looks like none now... but why streamlight?

umm i believe its only rated to survive up to a 1m fall?
pushing it to 3m...even the 2 mentioned above... convoy and sofirn wont meet that requirement.

I thought streamlight would be better brand compare to fenix, olight and nitecore?

They rate at 1m fall. But i check youtube with torture test. They can survive hard smash also. So they should survive 3m free fall test also.
At least few thousand of 1meter drop test.

To me, unless you're going to mount your flashlight onto a shotgun or something like that, or your life depends on it, I don't see the need of going for Streamlight, Surefire, Alzetta, etc as you are paying premium for their brand names and the Made in USA sticker.

Flashlight technology, be it the emitter choice, battery, programmable switch, etc keep on evolving and I tend to change my EDC torchlight once every year or two when new technology is available.

Rofis

This is the light in my car glove-box and to be honest, I've never of this brand at all last year but that doesn't stop me from trying this brand for the 1st time.

woah king light.

how are you brave enough to put li-ion in car. Isn't it a little too spicy hot for it?

btw hows the light?

As I park the car in basement carpark during office hours and covered porch at home, not really a concern of the li-ion battery in the car.
For many years I kept Surefire E2e or Pelican M6 with primary 123 as glove box light, but you know how dim they are if compared to budget 18650 light from Convoy, etc that I decided to use li-ion light as my car glove box light instead.

The Rofis is a very good, general purpose light as it comes with 2 emitters and built-in USB charger/power bank.
The primary light is kinda flooded, with cool white tint while the secondary light is warm, I reckon around 4500K.
Very versatile as can be used for car emergency along the road, black-out, camping, tracking at night, etc.
It's a jack of all trades light

Hi, just wondering is it safe to put LED flashlight with normal energizer battery in the car under normal malaysian weather?

I'm doing that with my LED modded maglite.

No harm other than the random alkaline battery leak. Just do weekly checks if can.

If you are using commom AA batteries you can invest on Energizer Ultimate Lithium. Theyre not as dangerous like rechargeables and can withstand car heat.

away from direct sunlight will be fine (e.g. glove box, side pocket, or in the toolbox at the trunk/boot).

i guess avoiding would be good ?
i always carry powerbank n flash in bags ...

Thanks for the reply. I guess ill just invest in a good Energizer Lithium battery.

Just scared that it might explode in the car thats all..but i always keep it covered

i put a fenix ld01 in car using the white ikea rechargeable batt...fine so far.
just not alkaline due to the leaking issue.

as long as it's a reliable brands , i guess it should be fine , but if it is really under a hot sun , better take it off to avoid any accidents happen ~
