Eh, I think Alan should start disabling comments on the Name the Thing contests until after it is over.

Sorry Alan,
Many apologies all. All I saw the “Name the Thing contest”, and a picture. Once my brain started ruminating on the “Thing” in question, everything else kinda looked like wah, wah, wah,… wah wah wah wah… wah wah. LOL
My bad…

Hey there, thats a really cool prize your giving away… are there any more details about it?
it looks very similar to a flashlight made by fenix called the L1, which iirc was a 1 watt luxeon (though the new revisions may make use of a 3 watt cree emitter, I don’t know). is there any information on this one? is it 1 watt or 3? water resistance? glass or plastic optics’s? The fenix was powered by a single AA cell, I assume from the size that this one is the same?
Either way this is pretty cool, thanks for the chance to enter

Hi Jerb,
It is a 1 watt unit and it uses a single AA battery.

Thanks Kevin, but that’s absolutely no help to me. Who makes it? Besides, I don’t use eBay. Twice I have had serious security problems with them, most recently my account was used to bid on a whole bunch of home theater speaker setups totaling about $18,000, and I have since terminated my account (and all dealings) with them, and about 1 year earlier with PayPal (who is owned by eBay). Where else can I find it?
