One's just turned up at the front door - okay, not on its own, the post man brought it - so should be able to post a first look and get some idea of how bright it actually is quite soon.

Black Diamond also have long distance LED technology due out about now btw.

I've just got the Black Diamond Zenix which has a focused LED thingy with a claimed beam of 35m, so I should be able to review that soon aswell. These seem to be the only 2 on the market at the moment.

The original OM headline was Black Diamond's 50-metre LED Headtorch - the article then said it had a 40m beam, and the packaging itself claims 35m. So we'll see.

Was thinking about getting the BD one instead of a Myo, so I await the reviews with baited breath.

Or something like that.

With 'baited breasts maybe...' Quick, someone alert the moderator.

Mmmmmmm... baited breasts!

What? Boobs covered in magots?

Hmmm.

Si

Bloody pervert!

Eh? You're the one "Mmmmmmm...."ing over baited breasts pal!

Oh the joys of discussion boards. From power efficient penetrating beams to maggotty breasts in 4 moves.

It must be nice to have the postman bring things like that. Makes a change from bleeding bills and crapital one credit cards

Don't say "penetrating" or you'll have the Croteen drooling again...

Anyway, I'm a bit sick and ill at the moment, but will try and get out with the new torch asap and let you know how it performs. Certainly seems bright in the front room. Anything people particularly want to know about it? Logically I want to see how it compares with the halogen beam on a Myo for brightness and range plus beam pattern.

Sick!!!!you said it....

I've posted my review of the BD Zenix now.

Ooooh.
