Light for 2k

Allegra · 07-03-2007, 07:27

after an exciting early evening kanina
I'm suddenly in the market for a good light hehe
Whats the best light for 2t??
Preferably small enough to fit in a beltbag , led , w/ AA batteries
Was looking at a Maglite led , w/ 3 AA batteries, ok ba yun?

Fenix lights could be found at SOE. Cree bulbs are very bright.

go with the LED's super tipid sa battery, ang liwanag pa!

i have a very small fenix LOD light. uses 1 AAA battery. pinabili ni binoy sa US.

Allegra · 07-03-2007, 18:55

looks expensive those fenix lights

baka lampas budget
Doc , that light of yours mukang 2t na hehe
I need a little bigger light, mga 2 to 3 AA batteries

I dropped by SOE pa naman kahapon to have a knife sharpened , hindi pako tumingin ng lights

Sir I think you should reconsider, Fenix lights are brighter than maglights with 2 batteries. You can get the fenix for around your budget.

any particular model you can recommend that fits the budget?

Kaiser Soze · 07-03-2007, 22:12

Hmmm...the lowest priced model with a CREE bulb is the LOD for 2889, the non-CREE E0 at 1089.

Just talk to Manny or Bien, I'm sure they can work something out for you.

Hmm..what's the difference sa cree and non-cree?

charlie-xray · 07-04-2007, 00:13

A LOOOOT

Just imagine: I tried it last night, I'm at the street level and flashed the P3D Cree Bulb Fenix Turbo Mode 160 lumens into the 4th to 5th floor apartment building right next to me and still highly visible white light plus the inside of the room.

2k budget?

dagdagan mo ng lang ng konti....

fenix ka na!

around 2.8k to 3k yung L1D w/c uses 1 AA batt...
cree bulb, 90 lumens.... sulit to !!!

maglite uses 2 batts... pero mahina pa rin yung beam...

Allegra · 07-04-2007, 06:37

highly recommended si Fenix ah
Makapasyal nga ulit soe
How long does the L1D AA battery last?
Baka pwede gamitin sa night bike rides

charlie-xray · 07-04-2007, 06:54

Madali po dahil po 2cm width lang po yung P3D and some L series but packs a punch, I believe SOE has the Jetbeam as well highly recommended din po yan, ang claim po sa Jetbeam is the Cadillac of Cree Bulbs.

XXXyzledge · 07-04-2007, 18:41

great idea sir !!
baka mas may discount sa gunshow... hehehehehe.....

Alexii · 07-04-2007, 20:05

So SOE will have Fenix lights this gunshow?

Glock_19_9x19 · 07-04-2007, 20:14

Sana meron. I'm adding a fenix to my shopping list. The L1d and P3d sure looks great

Fenix Lights

Kaiser Soze · 07-04-2007, 23:04

Yup, the guys will be bringing the usual great stuff they sell - taclights, knives, holsters, nylon gear .

Alexii · 07-05-2007, 18:58

I was browsing Fenix's site and zeroed in on the L2D with the CREE unit. Did I read that right, 135 lumens from a pair of double A's?! That's more than twice the output of my Surefire.

That's their advertised claim, you can check candlepowerforums for the real deal. It IS really bright, but keep in mind it's an LED, so incandescent (yellow bulbs) like the one in the G2 still throw further. It's a great light though.

I got the P3D.

Check them out at the shop.

Allegra · 07-05-2007, 19:33

a little help my friends , lumen for me is the pretty girl in the detergent commercial

How bright is 90 lumens? pwede pang outdoor?
How would a 1 cell AA L1d compare to a 3 cell AA battery mini-maglite?

9 lumens for 25 hours on a single AA? maganda pang brownouts or camping trips

Eto na lang sir: "The 2-cell AA Mini Maglite can last up to six hours on its batteries and puts out 5.30 lumens of light." from http://www.special-operations-techno....cfm?DocID=799

The Fenix is better.

Allegra · 07-06-2007, 09:20

Thanx , i'm convinced w/ the fenix
I never thought flashlights would be this interesting
I need more burglars para masulit yung expense

Kaiser Soze · 07-06-2007, 11:03

Did anyone else experience a weird brownout tonight? I live in the Alabang area and we lost power for a short time, no real rain, but almost storm strength winds hits us and knocked the power out.

My fenix and my JetBeam came to the rescue, especially when I had to open the gate in the dark. I used highest setting when I checked the outside of the house for any fallen tree limbs etc, and the lowest setting to light my way inside the house.

**Eye Cutter** · 07-06-2007, 11:22

fafa allegra: sulit na sulit yung fenix ko kanina! madilim kasi sa studio so kelangan meron ka ilaw to get the gear... si gundog kasi palit ng palit ng lente ng camera nya...
