Torch fetish

[AJB]

Me again, I’m in a posting mood today, sorry!

Since the age of four I’ve had a torch fetish, I own many and desire more. I’ve never found the perfect one though. It would need to small, light, robust, very very bright, have a good beam, but also be usable as an ambient light source and finally be good value for money (if not free!) So, apart from the Sun, my best compromise are PALights (http://www.palights.com/).

Do you have a favourite or a suggestion? Please say others share my problem!

Do you have a nuwai QIII yet?

It's almost part of the BB uniform

Your link does not seem to be working. The torch you want is a Gladius, unfortunately almost as far from cheap as you can get but bright, variable light setting, LED for long life and waterproof to 50m.

I keep an Inova X1 in my pocket, wouldn't go anywhere without it.

If you have a torch fetish I assume you're a member of the candle power forum.

They make the chiff and fipple forum look sane!

I get nervous if I'm too far from my Surefire Lumamax L4.

Have to hold my hand up and admit to ordering a Night Ops Gladius from the US yesterday. Should work out at $235 delivered. I know.... I know... but when you've caught the bug, you've caught the bug.

Anyway, I've only got around 10 (torches). I mean, it's not like I need help or anything... is it?

$235 for a torch? Blimey!

but also be usable as an ambient light source...

For an ambient light i'd light a candle, can buy them for about 50p . But seriously, I have in my pocket an inova microlight, which throws a good light for the size, and is apparantly very robust and 'unbreakable'. It is also viewable as a signal at a mile, or something like that. And costs just £11 something.

mine are evolving somewhat. To begin with, I was happy with a photon copy on the key ring, a solitaire in my pocket, a minimag on my belt and a 2D Mag in my kit. Then I modded the solitaire to an ultrabrite white led with a 12v battery. Now, I have a Photon 3 on my keyring, the solitaire in my pocket, an Inova X1 on my belt and a Tigerlight (WAAAAY brighter than a Gladius ) in my kit. At the moment I'm also playing with an Inova X3 which may just knock the X1 into my pocket and the solitaire onto the shelf

By the look of that collection BIG holes in his pocket or bank balance

I'm still more interested in the antlers in the background

 

[Povarian]

Torch envy? That's a phallacy.

 

[Greywolf]

[AJB]

Free torch, from a non-tactical source. Geeze, what are you, some sort of pervert.

 

[Greywolf]

It goes well with the manacles I got from Natwest and the gimp suit from the Halifax

Whoops thats off topic, Sorry!

 

[Goose]

All I ever get from my bank are bills!
Which branch of the Halifax are you with? Can you do a review of the suit?

Its got a 1W terralux LED conversion in it just now, and it runs off mojos secret 3V AA sized lithiums. It can also run standard bulb or MJled!
