A review of the Fenix TA20 flashlight has been posted over at the Candle Power Forums. 'The TA20 design was a winning design for fenix. The rotating dial gives a very nice feeling feedback and audible click when modes are changed. When you reach each level on the light the collar locks into position. There is a slight roughness when turing the dial, but it feels nice, it lets you know you are rotating the dial. The clicks when the dial locks into each level is very mild sound. The clicks are not loud at all, it just lets you know you have switched modes. The dial rotates a total of 100-110 degrees only.'
A review of the Sacredfire NF-007 single mode Cree P4 flashlight has been posted over at the Candle Power Forums. 'I found the flashlight to be very well made , with O rings sealing every assembly , the threads are smooth and well machined , and the tail switch is very positive and solid in use . The lens and reflector are plastic , and this is quite acceptable for the price range which this light falls into . Overall there were no nasty surprises , the anodizing was well done with a nice even finish over the entire light , and one was left with the feeling that ones purchase was a wise one.'
Craziest Gadgets have published a review of the Cooler Light Flashlight from Coghlans.com. 'The Cooler Light could actually be used for more than just coolers. Any type of box with a lifting lid would work fine- a chest, toolbox, tacklebox, toybox, or trunk. Good for camping or fishing. I'm not sure if it's robust enough to handle road vibrations but it might work as a trunk light for an old (or cheap) car that doesn't have one. The Cooler Light runs on 3 watch batteries (included). Cool summer gadget.'
A review of the SureFire G3L-FYL LED flashlight has been posted over at the Candle Power Forums. 'The bezel and tail are aluminum like I thought it would be. Both are the standard parts we have seen before. I will not swear they are HA-BK but they are certainly not as shiny a finish as on this 9P I have here. Also the tail clicky is a dead match for the one on my U2. So is it HA-BK, I think it is possible.Also I do not understand the refusal of SF to make a Nitrolon, or Xenoy I suppose, clicky switch.'
