Will you sell to a Bright Side lurker?

NOOOOOOOOO!

Will somebody please buy these lights from him so I can stop thinking about buying them!

If only I could get lights just by thinking hard!

(Anyway, pleased to finally get round to posting here after lurking for a few months, hi to all!)

I'm registered on that forum as well, I'll get round to posting one day

A review of the A2 on CPF. I am short of funds, or else I would have bought one from James 6 posts ago instead of still thinking about it

While considering whether to buy a green laser online, I wrote to our customs department (www.customs.gov.my) to ask if this item was allowed or if it would be confiscated by them. They replied saying that it was OK to bring it in, but I had to check with PDRM if I needed a permit if it was dangerous or hazardous (er... I didn't check )

Here's what they said:If you want to be sure, you could write to PDRM and ask them. And also, there's no guarantee the person who replied to my inquiry interpreted my question correctly or actually knew what the item in question was. I asked them
Hope this was somewhat helpful

(Yeah, I know this is actually kinda off-topic, because strictly speaking, green lasers are not flashlights. But hopefully some of this discussion is helpful to the other flashaholics. After all, you all love a thrower, right? Well, green lasers throw for miles... )

Erm, yeah actually I do mind, cause the actual e-mail contains my personal info and work info Hope you understand! Anyway, the text I quoted for you was word for word what I asked them and what they replied (minus my personal info and the link to the web page selling the green lasers). If you want, you can write to them yourself here, they usually reply within a few working days. If you need further details, do PM me

I dunno for sure if they're legal or not illegal, at least according to our customs they are not. And I haven't read or heard anything on rules or laws regarding green lasers (or lasers of any kind) in our country. You may still need a permit from PDRM, especially if you're going to buy a powerful laser like a Wicked Laser.

On a final note, if any of you buy one, don't go around shining it where it might possibly hit people or animals, and especially not at aircraft. All it takes is one or two news stories (or arrests) and we'll be in the same situation as other countries where lasers are widespread (lasers >5mW are illegal to buy in the US). And read up on the dangers of lasers (CPF has an entire section on lasers). HINT: Permanent eye damage may result from laser exposure. Lasers may be cool, but they are definitely not children's toys. Use them responsibly!

jwyj/old newspaper, may I know what colour are the LEDs on that Aviator?

I second these recommendations!

But why do you specifically want one that runs on CR123A anyway? These batteries are not exactly hard to find, but they're not widely and cheaply available, either. Did you consider one that runs on a AA battery? The 4Sevens Mini AA or ITP A2 puts out plenty of light, you won't be disappointed, especially if you're comparing it with your stolen light.

'Powerful' is subjective, if you want ones that are as powerful as the ones in jwyj's collection above, you'll have to buy a standard Maglite and modify it yourself. Or buy one from jwyj...

Anyway, Maglites are definitely not banned. You can still find them sold in Ace Hardware - I saw it in Jaya 33 yesterday, the other Ace Hardware stores should have them as well, maybe the one you looked in decided to use shelf space for other things.

That looks like a great deal. Any side-by-side comparisons with Sanyo Eneloops?

The "Maha PowerEx MH-C9000 WizardOne Battery Charger & Analyzer (New Improved Version) + Imedion 2400mAh Batteries (4pcs)" package for RM315.00 looks like an ever better deal for those who are considering getting a "serious" charger

The best place to shop for Surefire in KL/PJ is online!

And also the various avenues suggested by pseudoblue.

You can also take a look here: bloke-gear.com, I think they have very low shipping prices

NICEEEEEEEE...

How much throw do you need? 100 metres? 200 metres? 500? Extreme throwers can be had, but at extreme prices...

You can't really go wrong with a Fenix, but if you asked me for a recommendation I would recommend a Quark AA or a Quark MiNi AA from here. Of course, others will have other recommendations

I am halfway through this thread on CPF. Very informative, you should find your answer somewhere in there as well.

The French originally came up with yellow headlights for tactical purposes - it was to identify the nationality of the vehicle and differentiate them from invaders

PRICE WAR!!!

I can tell you from experience that the anodizing on aluminium models of the Quark MiNi series will NOT hold up well on your key-chain. After a month or two, my MiNi AA looked like it's been hanging from my key-chain for a few years. Although for some this is not necessarily a bad thing! It gives the light character

Your preference for things to look like original after years of usage leaves you only with the choice of the Ti MiNi, as scratches in Ti can be polished out!

Yep, experiencing the same thing too, it usually takes a maximum of 14 days for my orders to arrive, I have one or two yet to arrive and a few more take 3-4 weeks. I think the 1 week holiday in China at the beginning of October (mid-autumn festival) also contributed.

Looks promising. Wonder how much will it cost

0.09 lumens, if accurate, will satisfy a few vocal CPFers who have been asking for even lower lows. Myself, I haven't found low lows very useful yet.

Cresdo (RM699) is the official SureFire rep and retailer for Malaysia, free delivery anywhere in Malaysia.

Or maybe one of the guys here have one that they are willing to part with?
