has anyone got/or used a hope LED1 adventure light?
i like the idea of it taking AA batteries. i realise to get a useful batterylife, they will need to be expensive high power AAs, but i think i prefer this idea, as i reckon the light will go for long periods of not being used, and probably misuse of the battery.
AAs are much easier to replace than inbuilt LiIon i think.
Isn't the Hope basically a very very expensive version of the £10 torches that you buy from dealextreme? Which conveniently run off AA batteries, and are an all in one package.
If you want to spend that much, you'd be better off buying a much brighter lithium-ion based system. If you want cheap replacement batteries, the batteries for the dealextreme.com torches cost £5 for a set of 2, and the P7 torches will be a lot brighter than an AA based torch.
They even say about it that it isn't bright enough for running, which is crazy – £80 for a light that is only good enough for road biking and walking?
For technical off road biking and running and for competative orienteering you may want the higher light outputs of either the Vision 2 or Vision 4, see related items below.
