Glo toobs

Hi there,

I have three of the FX ones. Reb, Blue, and White. I love them. I use the white one in my hot tub all of the time. Makes a great underwater light. I also use it as a tent light when backpacking.

The red one hangs from my backpack and flashes when I ride my bike in the dark. It's good and bright, and ensures I don't get run over by a car...always handy.

The blue one is not as bright, but still pretty cool. I usually take it camping too, for a little "mood" lighting in the tent.

They are very durable, very easy to switch the modes, and water proof to like 11000 feet.

Good value as far as I am concerned...
 
The standard Glo-Toob is $30, and the FX is $37 at Moteng.

I use mine, a standard blue, as a marker light while diving and I lash it to myself during night SAR activities so I'm easily identifiable. .

They are actually VERY standard...You might have some but do not know it...
They last so long many people have had things that use them and have never had to replace them...
What are these mystery devices???

Garage door openers and burgler alarms!

A 12 volt BATTERY(not cell) the size(ALMOST exactly) of an N-cell!

i hear you, i guess i mean mostly for people who are worried about standardizing their batteries so they use only aa batteries and the like. also sometimes people talk about in a survival situation that it would be much easier to find aa batteries than 123s. if they last a long time (which it sounds like they do) it doesn't seem like it's a huge issue.

They last a long time in THOSE applications...

I think you only get 24 hours or so in the lights.

I had mine for months and I was using it one day and it seemed a little dim...So I got a new battery and put it in...I was shocked at how bright it was!
It had gotten dim so slowly that I had not even realized that it was so dim!
Do not get me wrong...It is not BRIGHT bright, just MUCH brighter than it was.
Enough so that you do not want to look directly at one of the LEDs in the dark.
