[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2116551, member: 229"] Bumping an old one to say that I just picked up one of the coolest flashlights I've ever owned via Batteryjunction.com 's Mardi Gras sale for $25. It's a Nitecore SENS CR. [img]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/ep_yimg_com_ca_I_theshorelinemarket_2249_11257749_.gif[/img] [url]http://www.batteryjunction.com/nitecore-sens.html[/url] Nitecore's SENS models are one of those flashlights that seems gimicky at first, but when you use it - it becomes very obvious that these features were designed by folks who use flashlights. The SENS CR (mini light / uses 1x CR123 High/Med/Low=190/60/20 Lumens) is unique in that it has a sensor in it that determines the angle it's at when you turn it on - parallel with the ground (0 degrees) when you turn it on and it's on High. 45 degrees (towards the ground) and it's on medium. 90 degrees (straight down) and it's on low. Turn it on at a 90 degree angle straight up and it comes on in auto sensing mode. Starts off in high mode, but if you turn it down at the ground (45 degrees) it goes into medium automatically and if you point it straight down it goes into low. Now think about that for a minute. You're reading something and that 190 Lumen blast is too much - on auto mode, it dims down to 20 Lumens when you point it straight down. You're looking for something out in front of you on the ground and you want more than 20 lumens, but you don't necessarily need 190 - bam, there's 60 Lumens to find that Lantern-Wick you lost around the camp site. Something making noise in the woods - just point and bam -190 lumens to see what's out there lurking and potentially trying to steal your food. The angles are pretty forgiving - steeper than about 55-60 degrees and it goes into 20 Lumens. Anywhere close to horizontal and you get 190 Lumens. It seemed like something I wouldn't like when I was reading about it, but I thought "what the heck - it's only $25" and I'm very pleasantly surprised by this little light. Very highly recommended.
