Description: The UK 4AA LED light used 4AA batteries to drive a 1W Side Emitter LED in a water tight polymer housing. The light is available in yellow and black. First Impressions: The light seems well made for a none metal light. Small for a 4AA light, nice clickie on/off switch. The output is not impressive, until you take into account that this light will run for at least 10 hours before you notice any dimming !!! Size/Weight: Light weight due to there being almost no metal in the light at all. Fits well in your hand, and is one […]

First Impressions:  I really think this might be one of the best “bang for your buck” led flashlights out there.  You get alot of very usable, smooth, flooding light for $30.  The light has a few features that make it really functional and versatile.  The body of the light has rubber inserts on each side, which make it very easy to keep a hold of, even in wet conditions.  The clip toward the tail of the light is great for attaching the light to just about anything.  Although, it would be nice if the clip was made of metal instead […]

First Impressions:   I have always thought the Inova x5t’s design was very well thought out.  Straight out of the package it just looks tough, sturdy, and able to take a beating.  I really like the way this light looks.  I tend to like a light that actually looks like metal, rather than plastic, or even a metal light, with black coating.  The x5t is made of top grade aircraft aluminum, with Type III anodizing.  The momentary push button tail switch makes it very easy to deploy and operate.   Fit & Finish:   The Inova is a very well made light.  With no […]

First Impressions:   This light was a little larger than I expected when I first received it. It seems to be slightly large  for a light running off just 2 AA batteries.  Fit and finish is very good.  The rubber grip feels very secure in your hand.   The lens is what makes this light very nice.  The light output is Very focused and clean.    Light Output:  The color of the led is slightly blue, but still very bright.  The hotspot is about 2′ at a distance of  11 feet.  Around the hotspot is a much softer halo of light.  The […]

First Impressions:   One word… WOW!  This light is simple amazing.  Every aspect of this light is absolutely first class.  I purchased this light to use as a EDC (Every Day Carrier).  Its very small size, and light weight, make it perfect for this.  It produces a surprising amount of light for its size.  I knew I would be happy with it 5 minutes after I got it.    Fit and Finish:   Everything from ARC is VERY well made.  The fit and finish on this light is Superb.  No sharp or rough edges what so ever.  The battery packs screw on […]

First Impressions:   Just like its big brother, the Arc LS, this little light is bursting with quality and craftsmanship.  The Arc AAA has a very solid feel to it for such a little light.  The knurling fells very nice, and makes the AAA very easy to keep a hold of.  The AAA is even more impressive for its size when you see the amount of light it produces.  A Limited Edition version is available.  That has hand selected leds, that are alittle whiter, and better centered in the head of the light.    Fit & Finish:   Every aspect of the […]
