The specs on the LD2 Rebel are fantastic,... but the body is just ugly to me.. So I had to pass.. If they make it a little prettier, I will likely get it...
I just ordered the Fenix LOD RB80 (single AAA battery). I wanted small enough to carry daily... Still looking for a dual AA that can do it all.. maybe in the future...
anyhow here are the specs, not bad for $46.50-
• Luxeon Rebel LED (80 lm/w) with lifespan of 50,000 hours
• Five output modes: 21 Lumens(3.5hrs) -> 7.5 Lumens(8.5hrs) -> 60 Lumens(1hrs) ->Strobe -> SOS
• Four days of survival use (two continuous hours per day on the lowest setting)
• Uses one 1.5V AAA battery (not included), inexpensive and widely available
• 7.35cm (L) x 1.4cm (D) (or 2.9 in (L) x 0.6 in (D))
• 14.5-gram (or 0.5 oz) weight (excluding batteries)
• Made of aircraft-grade aluminum
• Durable Type III hard anodized finish
• Toughened ultra-clear glass lens with AR coating
• Textured reflector for a flawless beam
• Waterproof to IPX-8 Standards
• Capable of standing up securely on a flat surface to serve as a candle
• Input voltage: 0.8V~3.3V
• Reliable twist-switch
• Includes a spare o-ring, a split ring, and a pocket clip
Also, I just converted my old 3-Dcell Maglite (finally burned out the last bulb for it)... so the 3wat-led maglite upgrade kit just went in... not bad at all for $18... remains adjustable, and fairly bright..
Wouldn't it be cool if the Dmutt and light came tomorrow? wow.
