It also definitely feels and works like a high quality flashlight. Fortunately I have managed to not lose it in over a year. I keep it hidden from my wife.

I was looking at those same torches that CelticCrusader posted up. I wish I had have bought one now that I've seen his. Maybe after Xmas. :)

123a and other "odd" batteries are expensive. Anyone use the rechargeable one's? What can I say I use a straight and like proven stuff.
I am a real fan of 18650's 32t. I have two flashlight that use them now. They hold a charge for a LONG time, and I don't think you can even get them in anything but rechargeable. What's kind of cool about the 18650's is - in a pinch, on most lights today, you can throw in two 123's for every 18650 and that'll work just fine.
Someplace in the history of this thread, I posted on my wife's torch that uses 3 AA's. I freaking love the thing! LOVE lol - but one 18650 will hold as much power as 6 AA's... or so I have been told. In real life that means I can walk the dog on full power 6 times where she can only do so twice. Hence, the debate between long use vs. being able to get juice at any corer store.
Man... it's always a compromise.
Good luck!

John - my wife's on full power eats up the juice lol. Those 3 AA's just have to work like the dickens to produce the throw that thing produces. 2 hours on full power. If you use it on the lower settings it lasts quite a while - even if you shoot off the full power beam now and again. Of course it was designed to not be on full at all times so I figure it's a reasonable amount of time.
Mine with the single 18650 - as I said above - just keeps going and going. The battery itself was about $20 i think it was, but I couldn't be happier.
Thanks for the link, I will check it out.
I love flashlights also. I have tried many different ones. A zillion lumens for 10 minutes isn't very practical for most purposes.
I am a little leary of the new ones.
I work security and purchased a Skyray King for work. It uses 4, 18650 batteries at 3.7V nominal voltage each. Really like it. Attachment 188447Attachment 188448Attachment 188449
That is one big flashlight. How bright is that thing.
