I also contacted the company, Capstone Industries, to let them know how much I like the light, and was told about a new model coming:
The pouch is still in the box, and I could take or leave the "chrome" accents. I do like the feel of the rubberized plastic, but it should still be a nice alternative if you like your like to match your device or case. |
Wow, that's quite a drain for LED lights...I would have expected a lot longer battery life. But if it's doing a good job perhaps invest in a couple sets of Eneloop AAA batteries (sets 4 or even 8 on Amazon at a decent price with a charger) with a charger because that is a ton of cost/yr at 6-batteries in just 35-days. With the Eneloops you can always have at least on fresh pair ready to go and with 8 (4 prs) you get a nice rotation of sets. Eneloops don't really lose charge sitting on the shelf for a good 9-12 months...other NiMH batteries are not so good at holding their charge. There are also new Zinc batteries I haven't read up on too much yet.
