Advantages: Pocket sized, UNBELIEVABLE POWERFUL, pure white light Disadvantages: None
...Has some of you may have noticed, I have wrote several reviews on various different Maglite's that I own. But the Mini Maglite LED AA was the newest of the additions to my Maglite's.
Previous to me owning this one, I had owned the standard Mini Maglite AA, for this torch I purchased the optional Niteize LED upgrade, while this upgrade was more than adequate, it was only 1 watt, whereas the Mini Maglite LED AA is 3 watts and the difference is out of this world. But I will get to this later in my review.
The Maglite range of torches are arguable the best and most robust torches in the world and as such are still used my various Police and security services across the globe. All the torches in the Maglite range are made of Aluminium and as such are very very strong and robust and very well made, this is why all Maglite's come...

Advantages: runs on petrol, very bright light Disadvantages: quite expensive
...This is a really great lantern, it runs on unleaded petrol, so it can be taken virtually anywhere in the world. It's reliable and easy to use. Many lanterns require filddly mantle lighting, the Northstar has an electronic ignition, which runs on AA batteries, so you won't be left in the dark if you forget your matches.
The globe is made from tough glass & encased in a cage to further protect it.
It has a slip resistant stable base to ensure it doesn't fall over when lit.
The mantles are also different from the standard type, that you have to tie on. These have a wire clip, which slips over the petrol tube top and bottom, and makes it easier to avoid touching the mantle.
The lamps give out a whooping 220w power, almost too bright when turned up full. Mines great and I'm really glad I bought one, although they aren't cheap, retailing...

Advantages: Very, very bright; Build quality Disadvantages: Large; Ugly
...Bike lights have been coming on in leaps and bounds recently, with LEDs starting to be exploited to remarkable effect. The Blackburn have shown the benefits of that evolution to the full with their Quadrant front light.
As it suggests the name Quadrant means there are four LEDs mounted in this space-age looking contraption. If I'm looking to be picky I'll list this here and now as the only drawback to the light - it's ugly, really ugly. And it's pretty big as well (it has to be, it's powered by four AA batteries), though it managed to fit in between some gear levers and a bell on the bars it was mounted on).
But with that out of the way I have to move on to the extensive positives with this light.
I bought it because I'd recently convinced my girlfriend to start commuting to work by bike, but the impending dark nights were shaking her...
