APALS - All Purpose Light Strips

[TeeDee]

More of a group split than group buy as I cant guarantee any discount , but as a pack of 10 is a too many for me I'd be happy to order , then repost for equal costs.


So anyone interested in getting one or more of these for themselves?

Obviously there is a colour Choice to discuss but if we could get units of 10's I could mix and match.

Probably work out £3.00 per Individual unit sent ,less if you have more than One.


These seem to be far cheaper in the States - I'd happily love anyone here stateside to get into contact if they would be willing to post USA To UK.

I'd be interested in a few.

Decent Run life from this vid.

These may be useful for those of us that are humble enough to realise we may need to assist in self rescue at some point.

IIRC there's videos out there showing people replacing the battery too. Just matter of slicing open the wrapping, though obviously lose the waterproofness.

I'd be up for a few. Prefer amber, red, or white. Or a mix. I'd take 5 or 6.

If they did a mixed 10 pack I'd be all over it, but sadly not.

Nice , you still in the TA? Could you have an ask around - I could get a larger order in then and mix'n'match a little.

Maybe.

Might be worth asking PRI if they have more of the Brite Strike APALS range.

Think can get mixed boxes, and something similar called the APALS-AIR comes in just pairs.

Mix up I think. I've not been in the TA, sorry mate.

Those APAL Air list a runtime of over 200 hours and a visible distance of 1 mile. The APALS I looked at (10 box) list 80+hrs and visibility of up to half mile.

I wonder if the Air is new and improved?

Hi.

Yes I think they have. I asked the same question on a BCUSA thread and the OP confirmed it.

 

[Nice65]

More expensive too. For my needs, I'd be ok with the originals just to try out the product. I don't think they'd be great for my initial idea of tent or under tarp lighting due to the very bright, unshielded led as they are. But put into one of the opaque 35mm film cans might make a nice lantern. I see potential uses.

Lidl/Aldi used to do an auto LED strip-light - batteries lasted for years - if you got up in the night it came on = -)

Yep - most likely but that doesn't have much to do with this thread does it?

 

[philipb]

I would like to have 3 if possible white blue and or red would be my preferred colours

 

[TeeDee]

Any one else interested?? Good little bit of self rescue kit at silly low prices. If you carry a whistle then one of these would be a useful addition.

Are you just thinking about getting the white ones, or some other colours too?

Cheers,

 

[philipb]

Hi ,
I think I will need to confirm once I see what numbers we are up to. currently its not a lot so I may buy some Ten packs myself in each colour and hold on and sell the spares in slow time.

 

[The Cumbrian]

I'll take 3 of the white ones, and if you get the red ones I'll take three of those too.

Cheers, Michael.
