Guest Fluke Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) After seeing so many of you wearing these the other night they appear an essential accessory! Will a cheapo one off ebay do the job? Any recommendations? Thanks, Dan Edited February 6, 2012 by Fluke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I would say any would do, perhaps a dual red light / white light could be beneficial for packing up. The one I had was only £5 from JTF in Hucknall, so nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I got mine off Baz at the previous meet, I forget where he got them from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 My red light one came from e-bay for 2 quid, plain old white one from aldi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I had a look in JTF on Sunday, they had none in, but I'll get a handful next time they have some. They are handy as they leave both hands free, mostly for sticking in your pockets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Beware those dual use ones, you WILL switch it the wrong way and annoy someone I got a cheap one like that, and just took the white LEDs out ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tweedledum Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Never switch the white on by mistake. Fortunately its nautically coded Red ---- Port === push switch to left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Do the same Mick. I have an energizer one that has 4 white light settings to cycle through before I get to the red LEDs. Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazz Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 They are handy as they leave both hands free, mostly for sticking in your pockets! That made me smile, clearly easily pleased. We need to sort out a red torch or two, so we can one each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cazz Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Love the avatar, that's one happy Jack Rascal! Thank you. Jack Rascal, lol, perfect description, you must have experience. The pic was taken whilst camping last September, as it happens around his 15th Birthday, he had stolen one of chairs, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Harper. Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 lol, I wondered why you didn't turn it off Mick. Who was there last week, (Sawley). I didn't know what there names were on here??? The way to remember the old nautical saying I was taught in my sailing days was; There's no port left in the bottle, reminding you that port is is left and that port is red in colour. The opposite being green= starboard. M. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
