Anyways for flashlights , just today I got the Romisen RC-G2 <br />http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showpost.php?p=2895956&postcount=335<br />and the AKOray K106<br />http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showpost.php?p=2961685&postcount=20<br />I'm very impressed with both of them so far. I also ordered a couple of 14500 batteries and a charger for the AKOray, as I don't mind carrying a different battery so long as it can still take AA's in a pinch.<br />BTW I used a bit of liquid silicone on the threads of each flashlight per a recommendation I saw and it makes them open and close much smoother, easier on the threads.<br /><br />For regular rechargable AA's I got some Titanium 2000's<br />http://www.batteryjunction.com/tpeh-taa2000pp.html<br />for the premium usage LDS AA's, I got Titanium 2100's<br />http://www.batteryjunction.com/tpeh-taaenduro4-case.html<br />And I also picked up a La Crosse BC9009<br />http://www.amazon.com/Crosse-Technology-BC-9009-AlphaPower-Battery/dp/B00077AA5Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1245727142&sr=8-1<br />I'm pretty excited about all these new toys at once. I'll let you know how I like them after I've broken them in for a few months.Bro.

I have some Sony CycleEnergy, that hold on for some long time after charged.<br />I ordered some Soshine and they have good reviews, came already charged with a nice AA battery case too.<br />Maybe Argentina is closer. :)<br />The Ultrafire CR123 seem to be ok too. <br />You're right about rechargable batteries if you plan to use them a lot.<br /><br />FerFALFerFALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578136334334588454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-16547707796762852072009-06-20T13:08:27.885-07:002009-06-20T13:08:27.885-07:00huh.

Funny, i was tooling around on candlepowerforums last week and due to some reviews ordered two of the same lights you did! <br /><br />How they shipped to freaking Argentina faster than to Pennsylvania, I don't know. I'm still waiting on mine. :-P<br /><br />I'm also finally getting off my butt and ordered a decent battery charger with a bunch of AA rechargables. Have you used/ gotten any LSD (Low self-discharge) batteries yet? I'm ordering a few. The Eneloop brand is very popular, but it seems that Sanyo's are as good and cheaper. Something you may want to look into for any flashlights that are used enough that you want rechargeables, but seldom enough that you don't want the power to drain out.Bro.

It's amazing and still keychain size, everyone should own one of those.<br /><br />FerFALFerFALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578136334334588454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-56896658197276905572009-06-19T09:45:04.556-07:002009-06-19T09:45:04.556-07:00Great timing!

I just ordered 3 of the Akoray Cree lights for the same price as one of the Nitecore. Remember in survival lingo "2 is 1 and 1 is none", so I guess if I ordered 3 then that is 2.

That will give a really good idea of their durability.

When they arrived a few days ago I at once made the Akoray my every-day-carry set on strobe function, which is how I would want to use it if faced with a burglar or assailant.<br /><br />Two days ago I ordered ten re-chargeable lithium-ion batteries and an LI battery charger from dealextreme.com so I can take advantage of the greater brightness using 3.6v batteries.McClarinJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237200661539297700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-86589264932402903352009-06-18T15:02:13.839-07:002009-06-18T15:02:13.839-07:00These little Q5 and P4 lights are a great value fo...These little Q5 and P4 lights are a great value for brightness, price, size and quality. <br /><br />However, if you crave maximum brightness, the 900 lumen P7 lights are the kings.<br /><br />http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.p7<br /><br />Thanks for the excellent flashlight porn, FerFAL!Bonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-23765302172811939982009-06-18T13:34:35.121-07:002009-06-18T13:34:35.121-07:00Thanks so much FerFAL for the much anticipated rev...Thanks so much FerFAL for the much anticipated review! Although I mentioned that I was going to order some after your initial post, I decided to wait.<br /><br />Waiting is over ... the one that impressed me the most for my tactical needs was the multi-functional 'Akoray Cree Q5-WC'! As you know, good 'bright-strobe' tactical lights run into the $hundreds$.<br /><br />Thanks again for your excellent review and feedback!<br /><br />John Geerman<br />Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
