V² vs MiniMagLight

Hi all,

I´ve received my little new torch, checked it during night shift - and love it


I made a short video, so that you can have a look as well

The switch for the white light is black and is furrowed, while the switch for the green light is green ;-) and smooth.
Without gloves easy to feel - but I think, even with gloves you find the right light.

The white light is more than sufficent for preflight and refueling - but not for long long distance illumination.
I personaly like it, to have white light until starting the engines, having a chance to see wether the a/c is just wet from rain - or may be leaking hydraulic fluid.....
Now I only need to take one torch with me.

Shorter than the MiniMag, supplied by the boss, it fits easy in a pocket - but is to thick to be placed into a pencilpocket.
Nevertheless, normaly for night operations, I have a keyband attached to my lights and have that around my neck anyway, so pulling the torch out of the pocket is no problem at all...

Greetings Flying Bull
