Haydn how easily do those things stand up?

Just buy them. I got 5 there good. Like really good

Nice one Haydyn, have heard Cree recommended before and that price is unbeatable.

I've got one very similar and use the elastic ring which it's supplied with (designed for attaching to handlebars) to attach it onto a GorillaPod (or a cheap knockoff). Means it will stand up, or hang from a branch/trunk.

[JackAus]

There's a couple of these in our group and I've just bought one as well.

Light for a video camera. Abit expensive but so good. Battery life is like 6hrs on low (which is plenty good enough!). I've only just got mine and had 3 sessions without running out of power. I did pick up a spare as well.

Or you can use the elastic ring (arab strap) to attach to legs of a tripod, or an extended telescopic brush. Just remember to unplug from battery when not in use, the power level light on the back draws quite a lot. And they are quite cool to climb with in strobe mode.

Good vid there from turnip, both bloody strong! Tune as well

[cofe]

for the money, I'd rather have 2 of these (still weigh less than a DeWalt)

How wide's the throw on these puppies?

wide and even- I'd guess 150 degrees? - you can come round to have a play with mine if you want

light enough to mount on a camera tripod for better lighting position

I'll

Bought one of these and used it last night. Impressed. Bright, wide light. Not heavy. Used it for two hours despite not having had time to fully charge it and it was fine.

All the lights...

And putting heel back into shoes...

Noticed this on Singletrack bike website. 10 minute runtime might be a bit of a problem but you could probably light an entire crag with this

Wise words.

LED rechargeable worklights were in a recent Screwfix sale if anyone is looking currently.

[Offwidth]

Wise words.

Except "use red light as it doesn’t travel as far".... the irony is red light is the hardest to scatter in the atmosphere so goes furthest. I suspect what they meant to say is that in the blue shifted scoptic colour vision of dark conditions the sensitivity to red lights in the distance is much reduced (compared to the good photopic conditions the boulderers will be using, where red light response is normal).

[benno]

Nice to see I wasn't the only one who found some of the phrasing a bit odd. I particularly liked the notion that sound travels further in the dark.

[a dense loner]

Sound does travel further in the dark, for the sake of the exercise.

[benno]

Thanks for clearing that up 

[slackline]

At night there is less source of 'other' noises to interfere/mask.

[benno]

Yeesh, I know that. Does starlight not quite make it to Earth during the day, too?

If you already knew that what was your problem with the BMCs (simplified) wording then? 

[benno]

Erm, I said I liked the phrasing... I just found it amusing, in the same way as Offwidth did about the red light. I'm surprised I find myself explaining that as someone as keen to pounce on scientific inaccuracies as you are (not a criticism). I think we can call this minor diversion done now.

[slackline]

I'm surprised I find myself explaining that

Offwidth explained himself, you hadn't ergo I had no idea what amused you about the phrasing.
