We've received our demo order of Balder Flashlights. Overall, they are very impressive. They have a lot of style with their unique heatsyncs and silver and black aluminum combinations. The beam quality is very nice. The BD-2 and BD-4 advertise that they have no beacon, strobe or S.O.S features, however they do exist but are hidden well. None of the lights use the twisting head for operation. The are quite simple in that they offer high, medium and low. These adjsutments are made using half presses of the clicky button on the end of the flashlight. They all tailstand. 

While the BD-1 single AA light is not the strongest light I stock if used with a AA battery, but it puts out a very nice beam and feels terrific in your hand. However, if you use a 14500 Li-ion battery (for which it's designed for) it's literally 2.5 times as bright! Pushing 365 Lumens, the BD-1 is a pleasure to use and would make for a fine EDC light in any collection. It comes with a reversible shirt clip. 

The BD-2 single 18650 battery light puts out 500 lumens and one of the smoothest beams I've ever seen. Rarely do you see alight with 500 lumens with this proper combination of flood and throw. I was very impressed with this light. The industrial design of this light makes it a work of art in combination of being small enough to be an EDC (every day carry) light. My two comments are that this light has too small of a diameter to be used as a tactical light (unless you can find a non-standard mount) and the head feels a little top heavy. The BD-2 has a reverse clicky which may be a deal-breaker for some. The standard High-Medium-Low are all accessed through half presses of the clicky switch. Strobe, intermittent strobe, and SOS modes are accessible through a hidden sequence of clicks. 

The BD-4 is a beast. It takes 2x18650 batteries and puts out 900 lumens in a very tight beam. It blows away the Jetbeam BC40 rated at 800 lumens, granted is $42 more expensive. If you need a quality thrower, this light should be considered. Excellent fit and finish. This is a big light. It's as tall as a MagLite 2D but 6 oz (25%) lighter. This light too is bit top-heavy but you'll soon forget that as you'll be too enamored at the light output to pay any attention. The UI and switch are identical to the BD-2 - Reverse clicky with hidden strobe & SOS modes. UPDATE: The BD-4 is now available with an Orange Peel or Smooth reflector! We received the BD-4 with the smooth reflector and WOW! Does it ever have a nice strong throwing beam shot! It's comparable to the ThruNite Catapult V3, but it costs $30 less. 

UPDATE: The SE-1 just arrived. We had Balder throw an XM-L led in one to test against the standard XP-G R5. This light, although sharing the same internal guts as the BD-1, is considerable smaller. It's 3/8" shorter, and 25% lighter than the BD-1. Weighing in at 2.4 oz WITH a battery, it's diminutive size and weight combined with its 365 lumen output (with a 14500 Li-ion battery) makes this one of the best EDC lights we've come across to date. The only caveat is that their is no hole on the light to properly attach a lanyard (not included). I suppose it could be attached to the shirt clip in a pinch. This light also does not come with a holster. Frog Wild will be putting a package together that includes the SE-1 + 2x14500 Batteries + Charger with a price point under $50! (It may include a holster too. Stay tuned.) 

The packaging is quite unique though lacking any padding. Two spare O-rings come with the BD-1 and BD-2 and instructions come with all, but the package is lacking behind it's competitors by missing a lanyard and holster. Overall, these are high quality but simple to operate lights with contemporary design.

The brand new JetBeam PC25 Tactical Light has arrived! It's a very impressive light at a very affordable price. We at Frog Wild are quite impressed with the build quality, performance, features, included accessories and even the case. This is a very competitive light that should compare favorably to the Fenix TK15 and TK21 with the side mounded light brightness selector. It even has a memory for the last mode used, even with the strobelight!
