    Recommend me a right angled flashlight for bug out kit

    It doesn't quite meet the output you want, but it could be worth looking at the Streamlight Protac 90

    Put DMM current metering into charge/discharge circuit next to cylindrical cell (-s)

    I'd buy this, especially if it included a resistor - low resistance ones can be difficult to source

    Put DMM current metering into charge/discharge circuit next to cylindrical cell (-s)

    I use a sticky note with copper tape on each side, and clip the DMM leads to that. Works great, but adds a fair bit of resistance to the circuit.

    Does it matter what type of cable/charger you use for a flashlight charged via USB?

    I've tested a number of lights, and most charge at 5V and under 1 amp. Your charger will be perfectly adequate. A few newer Nitecore's I've tested will quick charge when paired with the correct charger, but a less capable setup would just fall back to standard charging rates - so you're still fine.

    Emitter Recommendations

    Technically the XHP35 meets your requirements and would be fun in an HDS, but I have a hunch that you don't have any plans to make a 12V driver...

    Help with VERY specific list of requirements for my next light

    The Armytek Partner C2 is single mode when the head is tightened and usually within budget, but as far as I know the output is still reduced because of the optic they're using.

    Which current models have the highest CONSTANT lumen output.

    Without looking through all the data, I know the Nitecore EC4GTS has perfectly flat output even on high.

    New Product Announcement: NITECORE TIKI/TIKI LE 300 Lumen Rechargeable Keychain Light

    Note that high CRI only applies for the side LEDs, not the main one.

    Sold/Expired WTB Lumintop HLAAA

    Really wish they'd bring this back with an updated LED and UI.

    Headlamp for painting

    All 18650s are rechargeable

    21700 Narrow throw, single output

    It's worth noting that the Olight M2R Pro will only work with Olight's proprietary cells, so it isn't really a 21700 light as much as it's a 21700 sized light.

    21700 Narrow throw, single output

    Would the convoy L21A be along the lines of what you're looking for?

    Headlamp for painting

    Acebeam H40 will work, I'd recommend the SST-20 option.

    [Review] Folomov EDC C1

    Good news, everyone! Folomov has updated the design of the EDC C1 and released a v3 product that doesn’t seem to have the same issues as the original. I’ve tried out the new model and posted a review on my site for anyone interested. This has some further enhancements including a stainless steel...

    Centaur Ridge HX-1

    Looks like a pretty generic headlamp with a bulky zooming mechanism and a dated XM-L2. What interests you about this particular model?
