Ok just a simple mesg: The following entry is not a review. It's simply just personal opinions on a torchlight. So I dun wanna hear any bitching by any flashaholic on my tag board on why this "review" lack info, accuracy, or depth. But for those who insist, here's a simpler mesg: GET a life.

The standard D.I.Y shop Packaging

Brand: Rayovac
Designation: Industrial 2AA Swivel Light
Cost(at the time): Should be around $19.90

Disassembled

Above: A very basic torchlight. This is the max I can dismantle the torch without any usage of tools or smashing it to bits.

Flashback: Can't remember when or where I got this torchlight but it should be somewhere around 5 yrs ago in a hardware store. That was around the time of my early stages of flashaholism where I didn't know about the existence of Surefires and ARCs. Which also makes it a hell lot easier for my wallet too.

Beam Shot at approx. 1m

From the beam shot, we can that it's far from perfect wif lotsa dark spots and artifacts in it. But it's quite acceptable for a tiny(see pic below) krypton bulb. There is a wide sidespill to it but it ain't shown in the pic.

It's either a teenie weenie Krypton bulb or it's just Zuming's index fingers.
Oh! It's the bulb! damn...

Overall, useful for finding ur way in the dark or looking for ur keys when you dropped it under the bed. But definitely not for crucial ops like personnel search or signalling. But there is one thing I dun quite understand. According to the manufacturer, this light is suppose to be for industrial use but wif completely no waterproofing(no O-rings to be found), dangerously loose battery cap, and no flame proofing(I can picture someone blowing up a refinery wif this little fella already), they really need a overhaul of components or claims.

Other stuff:

Adjustable Bezel

Back clip

Here are some saving graces for the torch: an adjustable 360° turning head, including 90° verticle. A nicely done faceted reflector (which have it's own advantages and disadvantages). And a useful backclip. Not recommended for clipping onto the bill of a cap to act as a headlamp unless you are looking for lost change on the floor( the weightof the torchlight will cause the bill to droop n cover your frontal and aerial line of sight.)

Multi faceted Reflector

Oh wat's that from 4 metres? Oh no...it couldn't be.....

Yep... it is..!(4 metres beamshot zoomed in)

Yep... it ain't exactly a handsome light but it does look at home with this kitty huh?

And lastly, I would like to thank this certain animal in the "family" for the sugg that made all these pics possible!!!
