    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Yes they are amazing. It would have been super annoying to do that without a headlamp.

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    I used my Armytek Wizard Pro Warm to replace my sump pump tonight. That headlamp has been great for maybe (?) 10 years at this point. Not sure exactly how old it is. I installed a backup system several years ago that warned me about the main pump consuming more current than usual, so I...

    Ever lost a Flashlight?

    I don't think I ever lost a light. However, my kids lose the 3 they have access to on a daily basis lol. I took my son for a walk after dark today, and before we left I had to search the whole house to find one of their lights for him.

    Any old school computer builders here?

    Yes I still build computers for the lab where I work and also for my consulting company. I don't do it super often, but it's nice to get up to date once in a while haha.

    The new ipad wtf?

    That's great! Also, that notebook case is the same one my wife picked out for our iPad Mini 5 which we use mostly for letting the kids watch some videos.

    Is Using A Flashlight And A Traffic Wand On A Bicycle A Good Safety Measure?

    I always go with blinking front and rear lights during the day where the lights are more to just get attention and I figure that drivers can see the shape of me and my bike. I think of them as enhancers rather than the only visibility I have. At night though I agree, I have always stuck with...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    I put up some lights at our house today, and I used the Fenix TK22 TAC plenty of times during that process to find extension cords and perform other similar tasks.

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    Nice choices. Now you have me looking at Eagtac. They have a lot of lights with cool interface options. I might have to pick up one of them.

    18650 / 21700 / 26650 ... what size of Li-Ion Batt to "keep"?

    Oh wow, I didn't even realize that part of it. Yes that would be annoying, and what you said makes sense.

    18650 / 21700 / 26650 ... what size of Li-Ion Batt to "keep"?

    I guess there are some differences and I prefer the Fenix version of the interface, but that's still really cool!

    18650 / 21700 / 26650 ... what size of Li-Ion Batt to "keep"?

    That is really cool! My current overall favorite light, the Fenix TK22 TAC, has the same interface basically from what I can tell from the Wurrkos. I love that interface. Do they make any others with a similar interface? I might have to check them out.

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    You just reminded me that I used my TK22 TAC to help me replace the batteries on a CO detector at my home as well! It started to beep and I figured I needed to get rid of it, but it actually uses 2AA batteries. It was tough to see behind it without my light to figure out how to unmount it from...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    I used my Fenix TK22 TAC to change the wiper blades on my wife's car late last night.

    Ear buds-cords or wireless?

    I could never get earbuds to stay in my ears for the longest time and stuck to some over the ear headphones. But I tried out some Airpod Pros a couple years ago or so, and then I even upgraded to the Airpod Pro 2's when they came out. I love them so much and use them all the time, including for...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    I left my headlamp at a family member's house by accident recently (I know, I should probably have more than 1!). My wife's car tires also went down in pressure because of the switch to colder weather. So there we were, before a long drive, airing up the tires at the gas station in the dark...
