    **Pictures** Olight S10 (XM-L) 320 lumens EDC flashlight

    I just pulled the trigger. How far does the switch 'travel' to activate the light? I can see the button emboss to the surface. Is it a traditional switch or electronic type? My concern is how easily will it be turned on in pocket. Thanks.

    *new* Olight S10

    Just ordered one and couldn't wait to get it on hand. From the spec it gets everything I need, though unsure how easy the side switch will be activated in pocket. I owned Zebra SC50W and it turns on easily in a jean pocket. The reversible clip looks good so I can pull the light and turn on...

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    I just got my Shiningbeam i-mini in yesterday. I bought it to compete with iTP SA1 R2 version which I've been EDC'd for a year.

    Looking to replace my Energizer Tactical 1AA EDC

    iTP SA1 XPE R2 @34.95, or XPG R5 @39.95. The XPE R2 has been my EDC for 1year and still going strong. Another option is Shiningbeam i-mini @36 after CPFUSER discount. Both models feature infinite brightness control. The i-mini is brand new on market and it runs on either 1AA, 14500 or CR123...

    Icon Solo and Link Review

    Thanks for the review with great pictures. I now EDC the Solo and night walk with Link. In terms of new design, Icon stays on top of the line:D. Now I'm waiting for the Irix. Cheers,

    review: MAGlite XL100

    That short? Are they fully charged? I use mixture of Eneloops and Duracell. My son told me the first set of battery lasted hours. Perhaps he used them in multi mode. I may want to do a real runtime test this weekend.

    review: MAGlite XL100

    My opinion: The XL100 is a great general-purpose flashlight. I actually like its extreme low mode for night walking. Not a lot of lights out there that provide real low mode while capable of ramping up to high mode with one hand operation. The tail clickie switch works silently. The motion...

    REVIEW: Shiningbeam Romisen RC-N3-Q5

    The driver pill assembly is screwed in the head. If you removed it, it won't hold on to the battery tube so the answer is no.:shrug:

    Romisen RC-N3 II R4

    I received mine a couple weeks ago. Quite amazing beam pattern and brightness for the money.:) I wondered why the new RC-N3 II R4 doesn't get much attention.:poke: It's like the jet fighter F-16 upgrades to MLU(Mid-Life Update). Probably people prefer a light with new design over old model...

    Apparently some people are not flashaholics

    What would a flashholic think before wrapping up and during the trip? a. Idea – I need to stay at a remote location for 6 months. Let’s get prepared for the darkness. b. Grab a couple primaries and back up flashlights (thinking about what to bring as I have so many to choose from)...

    Re: Question - MG L-Mini II 1x18650 Cree Q5 LED Flashlight 230 Lumens, Just ordered Configurations.:kiss: I've been using L-Mini II for 4 weeks ever since I got it from Mev after he completed the review session.
