What is the right flashlight for someone depends MMN mainly on the intended use, the price and the products of Kokurrenz.
Of the technical data of this lamp there are enough information to the network. Therefore, I shall be brief, Why did I opt for this:
- I wanted a lamp that really fits in your pocket. The LD20 Eigent then but ehr for the jacket pocket. For this, the lamp should finally be time high, light and battery friendly, as we already determined 20 Torches (mostly cheap with bulb) had that no longer funktionerien all. Anyone have any "good" LED lamp had, which will be wiklich surprise and wonder where older lamps with all the energy is there ...
In addition, this lamp can be operated very conveniently and in an emergency one AA battery is probably the easiest to get.
For screwdriver could be even interesting is that you can keep this small lamp with no problems with the mouth, which brought a (in normal case) two free hands.
Subjective impression when cycling (not allowed in public road transport.!):
1- The weakest level has been about as strong as the Dynamo light of my bike. >> Well suited for the apartment and to find the way while running well suited.
2- The mean level was very good on the bike. Light when cycling compared with the high beam of a car with modern xenon headlamps. The pages are well lit and has a wide view ahead.
3- The highest level is again an increase in range and lights up everything just a tad bit better.
- The Turbomudus makes despite fresh battery outside the home almost no perceptible (for me) Unlike the normal strongest level. Here one can therefore conserve its batteries if you use Level 3.
The big advantage is that you have lots of reserves. The lamp automatically switches on weakening batteries in weaker levels. So it is even on longer trips not suddenly plunged into darkness!
I think the high quality and the characteristics of the lamp the price is justified. Especially since I anger over weak or defective lamps save me when I need time.
ADDENDUM (30.11.2010)
My mother has just grabbed my jeans together with the lamp in the washing machine. It was "only" a 40 ° C gentle cycle, but I was kind of surprised about that the lamp is shone again immediately and without any problems! Only the paint on the protruding outer edge has suffered minimal.
ADDENDUM (21.05.2012)
I was already often in the dark. Despite approximately half charged batteries, the lamp was completely dark suddenly. Fortunately, it was due to my cheap batteries and the lamp serves me still better with a reliable light source in your pocket. I use the lamp almost exclusively in Turbo mode, as you quickly get used to the "luxury" of brightness.
