Quiqlite X Rechargeable Pocket Concealable
Flashlight with Red/White LED's, Black
I came up the Quiglite rechargeable
light and had to try it out. I am always interested new products. The Quiglite
has two LEDs, the one I tested had a white, and red LED. You simply clip
the Quiglite to your pocket. To activate the light press the button on the body
of the light it will turn on and then press the small button on the back
and the light it will cycle three a white and red light. The white
LED has two levels of brightness which are controlled by the button on the rear
of the flashlight. If you hold the button on the body of the light and hold it
for a few seconds it will flash white to red. I tried the accessory the Xlfare
which fits over the LEDs and makes the light look like a miniature police
light. This feature is very useful to signal others.The Quiglite can rotate 360
degrees as well as bend about 270 degrees. This enables you to focus the light
where you need. The lumens go from low at 20 to 75 on high.The flashlight comes
with a rechargeable battery which is charged by using a mini USB
connecter and plugging it in. The Quiglite has many great features.
The lite has a rechargeable battery, a magnetic to enable to attach to medal,
long lasting LED, clip to attach, and best of all it is very cost
friendly. . The Quiglite once you use it you wonder why no one
ever thought of it before.
Streamlight 69240 TLR-4 Compact Rail
Mounted Tactical Light with Laser Sight
Streamlight (Inc. ) has developed a light weight
and reasonably priced tactical light with laser sight. The TLR-4 comes with
"keys" which enable it be attached to a variety of different handguns
equipped with HK and USP rails
The TLR-4 uses C4 LED a Streamlight designed LED
which is extremely bright. The light is 110 lumens which will illuminate your
target area. The laser is a red 640-660nm (what is nm?) and is adjustable so
you can sight in with your pistol up and down or left and right
There are several ways to use TLR-4: flashlight
only, laser only or flashlight and laser combined. Unfortunately, there is no
strobe setting on the light. To operate the light there is a selector switch
which turns it on. The laser has a small( switch, knob?) which you toggle left
and right.
The LED is estimated to last 50,000 hours which
is more than a lifetime of use. The body of the light is made of a tough polymer
which take a beating.
The operating temperature is from -10F to + 120
degrees which will cover most operating environments. The unit is powered by
one CR2 lithium battery. The CR2 battery is readily available since it is used
by many cameras. The company claims that the laser/light on together will last
1 ½ hours while the laser alone lasts 11 hours. TLR-4® combines a bright LED
and a bright red laser.
The TLR-4® retails for $ 219.00 and can be
purchased at fine gun stores and online.
Brite Strike EPLI Executive Precision
Lighting Instrument
I have been carrying this great flashlight for
months. The flashlight has the dimensions of a ball point pen. The EPLI
Illumination uses two AAA batteries which on full power will last you about 1.5
hours according to the manufacturer. My experience proves that to be accurate.
This is a tactical flashlight with a strobe
function designed to disorient an attacker. The flashlight puts out 220 Lumens
of light and uses a CREE-XPC-Q5 LED. CREE is one of the industry leaders in
high performance LEDs.
It has three modes high, low, and strobe. The
body of the flashlight is made of 6N01-T4 anodized aluminum. The weight of the
flashlight without batteries is 1.4oz.
The only problem I have had is I sometimes
"accidently" hit the "on" button of the flashlight when
storing it in my trousers pocket. The light goes on and I only notice it when
my pants start to get warm. Yes this little flashlight does conduct heat.. One
of the biggest myths are LED flashlights are always cool. The reason most LED
flashlights bodies are made of aluminum is so they can act as heat sinks so
they can remove the heat from the flashlight circuitry.
Bushnell Rubicon A350L 350 Lumens 4D LED Lantern
I have tried out many lanterns and the name says a lot, but it
doesn’t do it justice. First of all it has three light setting for the
lantern. The highest lumen setting the light will last 30 hours at
350 lumens. To put in perspective a incandescent 60 watt light bulb output in
lumens is about 680.This is more than enough light and battery power to get you
thru a weekend. The other light output setting is 119 for medium and 2500 for
low by that is hours.The lantern has an interesting way of becoming a spot
light just turn the rotating ring near the base of the lantern and the lantern
becomes a spot light.The lantern has night light function you
simply press the red button and the red led turns on. The camper leaves
the red light and then when you get back at camp you can find the lantern
easily in the dark.It is not a really a light lamp but it great for a camp
site. The lantern weighs close to 3 pounds, 44 oz. to be exact.The Rubicon
A350L uses 4 “D” size batteries, I would have preferred a built in rechargeable
battery. Thou running a flashlight for 30 hours on high it was probably not
work the extra cost.It extremely rugged and I like the carrying handle. It is
big enough to run a carbineer to attach to rope so you can hang it.I look
forward to taking it on my next camping trip.
Executor
230 Lumens Compact & Lightweight LED Handgun Light WL10
The WL-10 use one 123A battery to power the light. The
battery will last approx. 80 min. The quick detach is very fast and efficient
and unique compared to other brands that I have tried in the past.
This light was designed for pistols in mind. Thou
the flashlight will attach to any Picatinny rail system.
The light is made out metal and has a solid feel to it.
The Wl-10 light weight at 3.2 oz does not effect
handling. The light has a low profile and does not distract from
sighting.
The light has 230 lumen output which is more than adequate
for lighting up your target area.
The Wl-10 has only one mode off and on. I wish
there was a strobe setting as that comes in handy.
The price for this weapon light is very reasonable.
Nextorch
TA3
I
was fortunate to try out a the Nextorch TA3 Flashlight. The T stands for
tactical and once you look at you will see it a scalloped ring in front of the
flashlight, the flashlight is bright at 550 lumens. It has six setting of
light. The light setting are controlled by the tail cap switch. It
is designed for tactical use as it has a strobe light setting. If you are using
the strobe light it will disorientate a person
The
flashlight is easy to use just press the tail cap. The manufacturer calls it
the silent switch, thou you do hear a barely audible click.The flashlight saws
it designed to be anti-roll. I had to check it out and they are right the
flashlight will not roll. The head of the flashlight has flat surface which
stops it from rolling. The flashlight has a included belt clip as well as
lanyard to attach it to your clothing or wrist. The Nextorch TA3 has the
ability to use two different types of batteries. The flashlight uses two 123a
which are expensive to replace. Nextorch includes two 123a batteries. The other
option is to use one 18650 battery, which is rechargeable. The 123a
batteries use a plastic insert inside the flashlight body. To
switch to the 18650 simply takes the plastic insert out and puts the battery
in. the manufacturer states the 18650 batteries will last 100 minutes and the
123a will last 80 minutes. Just word of warning the head of the flashlight
has the words hot on it. The flashlight after fifteen or twenty minutes will be
hot. Many people think Led flashlights are supposed to be cool. One of the
reasons led flashlights are made out of metal and most cases it is aluminum is
to help dissipate the heat. It is handy flashlight and with the extra
accessories you can buy you can mount on a weapon, and buy
rechargeable 18650 batteries to name some.
Thermacell portable Torch
I have used Thermacell products for years and they work.
They make many different models from a portable unit, lantern, and a torch.
I was fortunate to try out their Patio Torch. Thermacell
uses a mosquito repellant pad that releases it odor when heated by butane. The torch will cover a
15 x 15 foot area with repellant. To
operate it you insert one small butane container into unit and slide in one
mosquito repellant pad which has allethrin into the top of the lantern. The butane lasts for
up 12 hours and each pad lasts 4 hours. The pads are blue when new and as
repellant gets used up the pad turns white.
The The lantern needs four AA batteries to operate. The lantern has a
built in led light which simulates a
candle. The effect adds a nice ambiance. Two turn the unit on you simply turn
the ring at the top of the lantern to start and click it right to ignite the butane. To tell if the unit is lit
you look thru the hole to see if the
there is glow. The butane will then heat up the pad and then it will release
the mosquito repellant.
I have my Tiki torches on my deck and frankly filling them
is a messy and if the blows the wrong way it can be annoying. I like sitting on
my deck with a umbrella I can’t use a Tiki Torch as the smoke and fumes would
fill the top of the umbrella. Before, I forget the Patio Lantern comes with
metal poles that assemble and put in the ground and makes a rigid pole and
place your lantern on top of it.
It is nice additional to your mosquito fighting tools. It
retails for $39.99
