    Tritium spheres

    I wish I’d gotten a tritium sphere back in the day, I haven’t seen one for sale in what feels like forever.

    Thrunite rocks !!! Whats your favorite brand ?!?

    My favourite brand might change from year to year but I’ll always have a fond place in my heart for Thrunite. Recently found out about the new Thrunite archer 2a C That’s going on the list of things to buy :D

    What flashlight do you keep in your vehicle?

    Currently I have the Imalent dx80, acebeam e10 and an Olight baton 3 in my personal vehicle. Theirs also a bag of lights that just didn’t feel right for work that I got to put back on the shelf but procrastination is strong lately ;)

    No NexTorch Love?

    I have a love hate relationship with nextorch, find a model I want and it’s discontinued. Find another one I want to try, out of stock everywhere. Think I see it available months later, go to order it and it’s not the one I wanted. It looked the same, buttons in the same spot but the part number...

    New Fireflylite Flashlights arrived! They are absolutely amazing!

    I have a couple on the way, for the price it’s a great way to check if you like a tint, emitter or flashlight style without breaking the bank. From what I’ve gathered from reading they are similar in quality to emisar but they haven’t been around as long. I’ve been really enjoying 2700k...

    Dual fuel emergency light

    Some shake lights are a scam but even making your own, it won’t be all that bright. I’m gonna check out the HybridLight 👍

    Dual fuel emergency light

    I think as said above the Protac 1L1aa would be a fantastic fit. Also keep in mind you can now get lithium rechargeable AA batteries that are 1.5 volt. Eagletac (now eagtac) the D3A can run on 14500 or AA battery, you’d have multiple modes, they have a great selection of led options. I own the...

    Streamlight Strion 2020 (New 2024)

    They typically run 500 to 800 lumen models, flagging trains and track maintenance. Anything over a 1000 lumens and you’re running into complaints from the LRT drivers. The older Strions and stingers will be what they continue to buy (until they are no longer available) They work great, take a...

    Streamlight Strion 2020 (New 2024)

    I really like 3000k and though I've only used it on walks, this could do 90% of what I need at work. I hope they make more color-rite models

    Streamlight Strion 2020 (New 2024)

    I wonder how long it runs on max before stepping down, I look forward to seeing reviews. Some of the other departments I work with use streamlight, the only newish model I have is the Color-rite stinger. The ui on the new strion looks like something I could trust a nonflashaholic with ;)

    Streamlight Stinger 2020

    The cradle charging is always something they've done well, I don't think the stinger and the strion take the same cradle. Thats something to keep in mind when picking which system to go with. The big duty lights like the SL-20LP has its own charger (looks like a donut), I haven't looked if...

    What is your overall experience with Nitecore products?

    I’ve had good experiences with Nitecore, of the 16 models that I owned over the years. I had one of the early D10 with the tritium slot tailcap. The plunger tube metal tailcap, somehow caused a higher than normal parasitic drain. The other could have been my fault, it had a rotary brightness by...

    We need to talk about Olight

    Except it wasn’t two years for me, even though I’m Canadian and our recall came after usa. Honestly I think you’ve all forgotten just how dangerous this hobby is. Sure if you only buy stock lights you’re fairly safe unless you abuse or mistreat the batteries. Every light that pushes the...

    We need to talk about Olight

    Over the course of most car companies, from just about every car company they’ve had recalls and repairs most manufacturers do. Doesn’t mean I’m going to give up driving cars, as long as they make efforts to repair and replace the damaged parts as they become aware of them. No two companies...
