KB Voodoo Test Drive Report (DELIVERED!!!) with BS

Those plates have been through almost 10 winters here. I'm surprised they aren't swiss cheese yet

 

It's sold as a full kit, including the light (also known as, a Precision Illumination Instrument).

Let's see if someone else chimes in here, since I'm obviously biased, but this Nitecore obliterates any and all Maglites

 

Nice new ride Chad!!

 

The $45 premium gets you a CNC cut, powder coated mounting bracket, all the hardware, and the diffuser which lets the flashlight act a lantern. Particularly handy if you're stuck on the side of the road in the middle of the night with a flat.

Many people can't understand spending that kind of coin on a light like this, but for the people who have.....they absolutely love it. I sell tons of them, even though I barely make anything on them.

 

Most people do not appreciate what a quality light is until they own one.

I have owned every maglite ever made through the years, now you couldn't give me one.
I am one of those that used to say there is no way I am going to spend more than X amount on a flashlight until I bought a quality light, I now have a 1k Lumens light with me everywhere I go.

My preference is Fenix lights, I love the PD35 and the FD40, but Nitecore makes some very nice lights as well, I have many friends that own Nitecore lights, I use a Nitecore charger for my 18650s and 26650s.

For those that are looking for a good light, you wont go wrong with a Fenix or a Nitecore.

This is my favorite light because of it`s lens that zooms in and out.

But

The kit that KB Voodoo sells is a nice setup for your Taco or any other vehicle.

the Nitecore obliterates any and all Maglites.

 

Would a quick fist work? they are designed to hold shovels, axes, etc. but I wonder if one of them would work for a flashlight. They have different sizes but it kind of looks like this size would work.

I added BS to the title. This can be a 3rd gen hangout if you guys want.

 

Condescending prick much?

 

Oh god... It's happening.

 

Appreciate the info. We do a lot of camping. Would you recommend the FD40 Fenix for that application?

 

Is that compared to the current gen 4 Runner, or previous gen?

 

Yes, camping for sure, it makes a great all around light for many applications.

It uses a single 18650 or 26650 battery, it runs well on either of them, the 26650 just gives a little more run time.

I recommend to at least get this charger, there are others that are more expensive and will charge more batteries at one time but this is a good charger.

Appreciate you taking the time. I would like a light, that is also long lasting, as we do 3-5 days at a time.

Thank you. Will order it up per your link.

 

You're welcome, get yourself 2 or 3 18650 or 26650 batteries for spares and you wont have to buy batteries for many years

This is a good 26650 battery

Sorry for jacking your thread with flashlight info, just trying to be helpful to others.

By the way folks I do not know him nor do I have anything to gain but that flashlight that KB Voodoo sells on his site is a good flashlight as well.

@KB Voodoo, does that mean the possibility of 3rd gen outboard bike racks in the future(near future hopefully)??

 

Most likely not. It took a year to sell the small batch that I made for the 2nd gen. They cost a lot to make, and they don't carry a very high profit margin (barely enough to cover the taxes I have to pay on them). The price I was selling them at was too low, and they still didn't sell.

 

I've never been a big fan of Fenix, but that one looks REALLY nice. If it had a built in charger, I'd probably make a mount for it. I think people really like that feature of the Nitecore MH25.

 

Both I would say. When somebody is going 45 in a 55, and you punch it to get around them, this thing snaps.
