    This is the coolest thing we've played with in a while :-) The amazing thing is, of course, the clamping versatility.

    However, the unexpected part is that the LED is so BRIGHT!!!

    Anyway...FirstLook at the Clamplight:

    Is this targeted for people who really needs the flashlight or for 3D animated movies fans?

    I'm confused.

    Kinda reminds me of the over-animated toy commercials that come with the disclaimer about how the toys don't move or talk on their own.

    That was a crappy commercial. Instead of simply highlighting the usefulness of the product, they make it fly around and seem way more awesome than what it truly is; eventually leading to soul-crushing disappointment.

    As a flashlight freak, why the hell are you posting a flashlight review about something that costs $170 without showing what kind of light it throws. Are there dark or hot spots in the throw, how durable is it? etc.


    I carry around a $120 flashlight in my pocket daily. You can be damn sure I wouldn't pick this thing up without knowing what it's worth.


    Now that I'm done ranting... A CPF review


    [www.candlepowerforums.com]


    The capacitor system is really the cool part of the whole deal. The flashlight itself kind of sucks in my opinion due to the fact that you cannot carry an extra power source for it. If it's dead in the field, it's dead in the field.

    Considering that I have yet to need replacement batteries for my current LED flashlight (2 years in), those savings might be hard to calculate.


    Besides, I want the one that illuminates like the sun itself and burns anything left in its rays for more than a few seconds.

    @klaybc: I'm with you there.


    I'm currently using Energizer's Hard Case Professional LED lantern. Outputs 110 lumens (for that bright ass, X-Files flashlight effect) for ~50 hours, is free-standing in two positions, water resistant, has a shatter proof lens shielding the bulb, and is rugged enough to survive a 30ft drop.


    My other LED flashlight, is the head-mounted unit from the same Energizer Hard Case line. My head-mounted unit outputs 100 lumens for 15 hours (almost double that if I use lithium batteries), is water-resistant, can survive a 15ft drop, tilts, has four lighting modes (high and low white, red beam for night vision, and green), and finally offers the option for defuse or spot lighting.


    I caught them both on sale for under $30 each, about 18 months ago from Home Depot. And quite frankly, unless they come up with di-lithium/anti-matter powered flashlights, these are very likely the last torches I will ever have to buy. Spending $170 to get goodness like this, is folly.

    They do not look as sleek or sexy as the 5.11 Tactical Series UC3.400 flashlight, however they do deliver the goods - days worth of bright light. Not to mention, with the exception of the 90 second recharge thing, they outperform the 5.11 Tactical Series UC3.400 flashlight in almost every way imaginable - including the most important spec, price.

    Breast cancer is way way wayyyyy down the list of ailments and cancers that kill women, no idea why it gets so much publicity. Virtually every cancer (19 of them) are more of a problem and only 4 are less of a problem. Talk about marketing costing lives.
