fenring Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I agree Jason. A general purpose torch with some spill is handy to have as well as a dedicated shooting light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonSelmes Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) I agree Jason. A general purpose torch with some spill is handy to have as well as a dedicated shooting light. Agreed the P7 is awesome but in rifle mounting the Ultrafire craps all over it. Now we just have to see how long it last and see fi the durability is there or not. Then again i look after my stuff and don't throw it around so unless there is a globe or electrical wiring issue or cheap wires.parts then we should be all good to go. I might even do a video in my lounge-room on both lights. Ill do it by weeks end and go from there.. Edited April 19, 2010 by Jason_Aus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worm Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Deal extreme is a awesome site.... I love just browsing all the junk on it haha My credit card takes a pounding when im done from that site. I bought a couple of the flint fire starters for $5! The last one I bought cost me $15 from Rays I have a few torches from them and they are great. One of the big ones is 900 lumens and it throws a massive amount of light. Although it uses 4 cr123 (or whatever they are) batteries so its a tad heavy. I prefer the light from a Xenon globe but they run out of puff before the Cree varieties.

60Twin Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) Hi Jason Not bad for the price eh? I paid around 100 bucks for my 200 lumen P7, which I thought wasn't too bad considering a local Knife shop wanted $150+ for one Your review of this torch has had me scanning the pages of DealsExtreme. Man they're cheap. I like the Romisen RC-B12 (230 lumens) which has a pressure switch and UV mode to help track a blood trail: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16847 Plus, the scope mount: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5819 - looks very sturdy. For a spottie, I like the Romisen RC-T6 500 lumen torch. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15685 Both of these can be run on rechargeable LiIon batteries, which are very cheap on this website as well.

fenring Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 60twin, that scope mount really only works for barrel mounting or for very skinny torches - I got one and ended up using it as a barrel mount on my old Lithgow .22 as the torch when mounted on the scope lit the front sight up too much.

epitome Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 My new Eageltac T100C2 MKII arrived in the post yesterday. I'll run it on CR123A batteries to start with, but might buy a couple of the 18650 batteries and a charger later on. I'll buy some batteries after work tonight and try it out.

Those CR123A batteries cost $14.95 each!! So two batteries to run the Eagletac cost near enough to $30!! So I went on ebay last night and bought 2 18650 batteries and a charger from a seller on the east coast, for $23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenring Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Dudes, some torches can run a bit harder with two CR123's but the Eagletac runs the same on and 18650 as it does on the two CR123's. So the choice for that particular light is obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatdane Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 +1 for the Ultrafire. I too initially purchased a P7 and a H7 for hunting. Both a good torches for around the camp and or finding down game, but as far as torch hunting goes..... YOU CAN'T BEAT THE ULTRAFIRE.... So much torch for the little price. Our local battery shop sells the cr123 for $7.50 each, but now i'm looking at the 18650 instead. LOVE THAT TORCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman_DJ Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Deals extreme sells rechargeable CR123A's and chargers. The chargers do come with American style plugs, but the one I bought uses a standard "Figure 8" connection (old radios and stereo systems used them). I happened to have one of these cables with Australia plugs. So I just ignored the supplied cable and used my own. And you can still buy these cables in Aust. For reference, figure 8 plug - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stereo-Figure-connection-Vision-Receiver/dp/B0021JHMDQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epitome Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 link please... the cheapest ive found cr123a is like $10 each... I just did a search for "18650 batteries" on ebay. I'll just pull up the seller though: 18650 batteries + charger The charger has a US plug and runs on both 100v-240v. The batteries are Ultrafire 2400mAh Li-Ion batteries. I just did another search and got a US/EU to Aus/NZ adapter for about $4 delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I have the Dereelight DBS-V3 with the aspheric lens (collimator head). Now this torch kicks ass. I use the 18650 battery also. Amazing how far torches have come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
