a post I made just recently reminded me, I used to have a timing light,
I think it was made by a company called Optilux, it didn't look like a
regular timing light but like a big flashlight. It had a built in dwell
meter and tach (digital) among other things - might have had more
features but those were the only ones I ever used. I bought it used
from a VW enthusiast, and ended up inadvertantly passing it on to
another when I lent it to him and was unable to get it back from him
before I moved halfway across the country.
Here's the weird thing... I can't seem to find another one anywhere.
Does anyone remember what I'm talking about, know if they're still made,
and if so, where I could buy one?
thanks

There apparently is still a demand for these:

well sure, a dwell meter is just a specialized duty cycle meter.
that doesn't look like the light I had, although it appears to offer the
same functions.
