    Lights you gave away for any reason

    Gave away all my MagLights because my LED lights just made them look puny. :oops: Then gave those folks LED upgrades because I felt guilty. Then I gave them Fenix P1Ds because that is what I gave my wide and they got jealous. Then I got tired of spending so much and started giving away Romisen...

    Tail light bulbs blowing - dealership says it's the bulb socket $400!?!

    Its very odd that its just one light that consistently blows. Not being able to see the bulb makes it even harder to guess what is going on. Water intrusion would mean that water is getting in every time you drive (possible but unlikely). A bad ground means that the bulb will not light up but...

    Which battery type do you prefer and why?

    I personally prefer Lithium (CR123, RCR123, 18650) to Alkaline batteries (AA, AAA) because my needs are to have a flashlight that can sit in storage , at home, in my car and in the office, for years and be relied upon to work years later, when I need it. Every alkaline battery powered flashlight...

    Compact Torch for the Car ?

    I personally still use the Romisen RC-N3 CREE Q5 LED Flashlight that I purchased in 2008 perfectly. I put it in my car in 2008 and its still there, working perfectly. Its very inexpensive yet its turned out to be completely reliable. I use CR123 batteries in it for reliable use in my car and...

    How Do You Balance Lumens verses Battery Life and Still Keep it Under $20?

    In 2008 I decided to perform an experiment that essentially addresses your question. My family and friends constantly bugged me to find them flashlights that were as bright as my EDC but affordable (my least expensive EDC was $60 at that time) to them, which meant under $20. What I found was a...

    of all the high output cheap lights, which is best?

    The one I like to give away is the Romison RC-N3 Q5 from shiningbeam, I do take into regard the recipient's knowledge of Lithium safety and steer them in the right direction.

    how many batteries do you have?

    I don't carry any batteries on me (office job), at home I have 10 to 20 CR123 Primaries for my EDC, in each car there are 2 CR123, in the office there are 2 CR123 (all Battery Station), and a few Lithium AA and AAA.

    What's the story with Energizer Lithium

    Now that is truly interesting, first in that its available in the US (after Energizer told me it wasn't) then that there are three choices, what to do? :) Now my curiosity is peaked so i'll have to see if I can find them just to see them.

    What's the story with Energizer Lithium

    I am well aware, I have been doing business globally for almost 30 years. :) I am also aware that the major call centers have regionalized response so they have zone specific information, however they also have one vast knowledge base they are supposed to check, so a product name in any one...

    how does heat affect longevity of batteries

    My practical experience supports you. My wife and i teach disaster preparedness classes and have recommended Lithium for emergency use since the 90's. We found that with outside temps reaching 90-100F, the glove compartment temperatures were running 120-130 degrees F. This is high enough to...

    What's the story with Energizer Lithium

    If its just a name gimmick, then its not worth the hassle :)

    What's the story with Energizer Lithium

    Another excellent idea, I'll see if I can get him to reconsider rechargeables.

    What's the story with Energizer Lithium

    Yes, I see what you mean, if there actually was a real improvement then you guys would have known about it already.

    What's the story with Energizer Lithium

    Good point, I'll remind him to keep the fallback option in mind.
