This is a quick look at the Orbita Lighthouse Series Stainless Steel Flashlight.
From Orbita's website.
" Included in this package: One (1) Lighthouse Series Flashlight, Two (2) rechargeable 3.7 Volt Lithium-Ion batteries (2600 mAh), a two-channel 115 VAC battery charger, lantern base and a convenient nylon carrying holster.
Orbita's Lighthouse Pocket Flashlight, powered by a high-energy rechargeable #18650 Lithium-Ion battery, delivers an unprecedented level of intense white light with great efficacy. The XLamp XP-G (Q5) emitter made by CREE, Inc. (a fine example of American technology) provides a high beam light output of 350 Lumens and is life rated for 100,000 hours of operation. It is protected by a sealed lens which is scratchproof and impact resistant. Structural components are all machined from 18/8 stainless steel bars. There are no flimsy stamped metal or plastic parts. Choose from Stainless Steel, Carbon Fiber or Hardwood bodies which are hand turned by North Carolina craftsmen and protected with a durable acrylic coating. Flashlights are dustproof and splash-proof to IP54 standard. There are six (6) user selectable lighting programs. By softly pressing the glow-in-the-dark power button, or double clicking it, you can scroll through and select any one of the six modes of operation (see table). Turn power on or off in any selected mode with a single click.
Operation Mode * * * *Intensity * * * * *Duration
Search Light * * * * * * Very High * * * *2-3 Hours
Reading Light * * * * * *Medium * * * * *8-10 Hours
Defense Strobe * * * * Very High * * * *2-3 Hours
S.O.S Signal * * * * * * Very High * * * *4-5 Hours
Lantern Mode * * * * * Very Low * * * 120 Hours
Beacon Mode * * * * * Very Low * * * 150 Hours
Length: 4 3/4" Diameter: 1 1/4" Product Weight: 7oz "
Various models.
I ordered the Stainless Steel version.
Uses XPG Q5
Has 8 Leds for lantern mode and beacon mode. Lantern mode all 8 Leds light up. In beacon mode 2 Leds lights and it moves in a clockwise motion.
Reverse clickie switch. Memorizes last setting when shut off. High, medium, strobe, SOS, lantern mode and beacon mode.
This is the lantern base. The rear tail cap needs to be removed then the lantern base installed tail cap screwed back on for installation.
2 UniqueFire Li-Ion Rechargeable 3.7V 2600mAh 18650 battteries and a AC 100V-240V travel charger is included. I don't know if the batteries are protected or unprotected, it did not say on the batteries.
A holster is included. It seem pretty heavy duty IMO.
The light is very hefty due to it's Stainless Steel construction.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Stainless Steel finish is excellent.
The overall build quality is excellent.
The beam tint on my light is a nice white color. Smooth beam with no artifacts. I do notice though when first turned on my light blinks after 3 seconds noticeable in high and medium mode. It does not blink in the other modes.
I paid $100.00 shipped Fedex. It seems like a very good deal because you get 2 batteries, charger, holster and lantern stand. The deal expires May 31, 2013.
If you want the other models they cost $50.00 more.
