What lights do you have?

[Cyparagon]

Something not powered by batteries for a change:

An induction lamp next to a CFL of equal power (40W).

Induction lamps are like fluorescent lamps except the mercury is excited by induction. You can think of it as a transformer with that ring being the "primary winding" and the mercury in the glass as the secondary. They are almost as efficient as modern LEDs (70lm/W wall-plug efficiency on this one), and have a lifetime even greater (this one is 60,000 hours).

The large size and the mogul base means you can't use it just anywhere, but it was a nice addition to the collection.

I'm getting mine through CPFMP.

Skilhunt is selling 10 on CPF right now, Skilhunt DT-20

CPFMP has been having server issues of late.

I entered a review contest and I get my light 50% off the 40% off price.

Ok thanks, because you can't order them off of there website ....so pretty much you just wait untill they are selling them on CPF

DT-20 looks like it was designed to be a shelf queen I bet she puts out a lot, though :angel:

Got the Magled 2D from Home Depot.

On sale $14.88 before taxes.

This is last years Magled from Lowe's using a Rebel Led

 

[Jufran88]

Ah, Maglite the classic, moddable flashlight.

Very nice! :beer:

 

[BShanahan14rulz]

erns, which one of those two seems to have the nicer beam? side-by side comparison beamshot in the works?

jufran, maglight now makes a maglight LED light that isn't just the maglight with the maglight luxeon drop-in, not to mention newer, "fancier" models

 

[Jufran88]

Ah yes I'm aware of that. I had both versions myself before modding them into SST-90s :yh:.


XP-E > Luxeon in my opinion.

EDIT: Reminds me these are on sale now!! Time to buy some more Mags :san:

Both beams look pretty much identical. The beam tints are almost the same. Brightness looks close to each other.
