New Review JIL-Lite CR2 DD UP

[Cones]

Hi,

Don't think this is a double post!

This is the Direct Drive version of the excellent JIL-Lite.

Similar to the regulated one I reviewed the other day.
But shorter, cheaper and longer running! May be a better emergency light that the 1.3W but has less WOW factor.

The runtime caught me out and I had to stop at 13 Hours.

I'll have another go in the future. When I can work my new meter properly.

Thanks

Mark

You know something, before I clicked on Cones damnn link I was happy with a Maglight. Now I have a QIII an Inova X1 a moded Mag light and today I spent £3 in Lidle on yet anothe bloody shiny thing.

Worse still I've met the guy and he still owes me a beer

Seriously(ish) which is the one to have? (hypothetically that is)

[Cones]

Possibly the smallest, longest running, cheapest one!

I think.

Or how about toss a coin?

Both are very good lights for the money.

Oh right "just buy both"

That being the case I'll have a G&T as well as a pint

I've just updated my JIL-Lite with the addition of this excellent little FluPIC PCB. See Here :- http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...ad.php?t=95886

It now works as a fully adjustable light with multiple modes and features.

See this operating instruction sheet :- http://img403.imageshack.us/my.php?i...upicv212lq.jpg

WOW. Is my first impression to this upgrade. This is now one TINY keychain light with more features than you can shake a large stick at.

I'll do a proper review when I get chance.

Thanks
