    Will I turn into a Maglite fan once again?

    after some more use. I haven’t been this satisfied with a mag light since it’s hey day in the 80’s and 90’s. Maybe even more so

    New Petzl 2017 Headlamp Models...

    I am a huge fan of the e-lite....nice to see the LED upgrade....hopefully it's a wider beam however, it is sad to see that they did way with the retractable headband once you have used a headlamp with a retractable headband, you can't go back to traditional headlamp strap, especially if your...

    Arc flashlight is officially out of business...again

    I think what really killed ARC flashlight, was very little to no marketing. Especially since they were the exclusive retailer. The AAA offered a nice well rounded package for someone looking for a well made flashlight. yes they had some customer service issues, but over all customer service...

    Arc flashlight is officially out of business...again

    I went to order a new Arc and saw on their website, they are going out of business https://www.arcflashlight.com This saddens me very much. I was a big fan of arc flashlights. Even though it is considered outdated. I always thought it was a piece of art and I loved the design philosophy...

    Inexpensive headlamp with BRIGHT, EVEN, wide beam? Suggestions?

    Yeah I actually went with the new 100 lumen zipka instead because the retractable headband makes it extremely pocket friendly. But the beam isn't as wide as the tikinna. But the semi diffused hot spot of the zipka is good enough compromise for what I look for in a headlamp.

    Would You still Buy an Arc AAA Today?

    Re: Arc-AAA GS - still a classic? Worth buying or should I be happy my E01? Just ordered and received a new one! I lost one and was thinking of replacing it with something more modern like the surefire AAA Titan. But the Titan high beam runtime is way to short for my use and low beam is no...

    Inexpensive headlamp with BRIGHT, EVEN, wide beam? Suggestions?

    The petzl tikkina is only $15-19 and has a very very wide beam. I know the new tikkina have a new led, so I'm not sure if it's still wide. But I have one coming in a few days and will let you know

    Are the Petzl lights very good?

    mmmmm....no! Many backpackers are just as educated on flashlights as the people on this forum....including myself many still use petzls because they are great lights that have been proven in many harsh conditions, plus the beam angle on some petzl models is wider then many of the so called...

    Searching for very low brightness, red LED headlamp for astronomy

    I use use white light for astronomy as well. As long as the light is dim enough, you can still maintain scotopic vision

    AAA Light for Key Chain Carry

    awesome light! Decent brightness and throw, nice natural looking beam, over two runtime on alkaline, and cheap...only drawback there was no moon mode when the battery died....mine was an early model, hopefully they fixed that in the newer model

    Searching for very low brightness, red LED headlamp for astronomy

    I have played around with red lights and different color lights for years to preserve night vision. But they become very frustrating to use especially in a outdoor environment. I know find .4 lumen white light works best. Am I sacrificing night vision???......maybe, but not enough to notice...
