    Flashlight for emergency travel go bag

    Why has nobody recommended the Lumintop Tool ??? Runs on AA alkaline, NiMH, lithium primary, or 14500 li-ion cells. Inexpensive: available in everything from aluminum ($20) to something fancier like copper ($30) or titanium ($40-50, but harder to find, and may involve waiting for Ali Express)...

    Is my 18650 dead?

    May I ever so gently suggest recycling it instead of just tossing it? Earth Day sensibilities and all that...:geek:

    Rechargable flashlights question.

    Let's see if I can simplify this for you just a wee bit... 1. Built-in chargers are just that: they allow you to charge the battery without purchasing a separate charger. 2. Some lights with built-in chargering circuits have removable cells that can be charged either inside the light, or via an...

    Flashlight holsters or pouches?

    There are several artisans on Etsy who offer leather holsters and other custom services. I bought a few custom flashlight, knife, and axe sheaths in the past few years, at reasonable prices. At the Etsy website, enter "leather holsters" in the search box and follow the inevitable rabbit trails...

    Lux V Candela

    Twenty years ago many of the discussion topics were related to the tint lottery, light engine mods, and hardware in general, with less attention devoted to the nuances of light measurement and the quirks of human vision. That noted, there are several older threads that get deep into the weeds of...

    Looking for a 21700 body that uses P60 size LED drop in

    And where, pray tell, might one find this species of aluminimum heat sink??? (Hint: It' doesn't appear on the Overready website as of 3.24.2024...)

    18650 case?

    I agree that the silicon battery sleeves are an excellent cell protection and carry option. The only advantage the HDPE Nalgene Snap-Cap Vial has over the silicon sleeve is that the Nalgene vial is highly water resistant (although not completely waterproof). If you're adventuring by canoe...

    Help Choosing a Headlamp for Night Hiking

    I believe the Jetbeam HR10 meets your criteria. Small, lightweight, wide range of light levels. Removable 18350 battery, also capable of using a 16340 cell, just in case. HP-L HD emitter. Low is 6 lumens, high is 700 lumens. Beautiful hotspot with a generous spillbeam. Check out the ZeroAir...

    18650 case?

    I recommend the Nalgene Snap-Cap Vial storage tubes. Enter the italicized phrase in your preferred search engine, and select the 28mL size (dimensions 1" x 3.3"). There are multiple sellers of this product, at significant variable price points, so shop around for the best deal. (The United...

    21700 LED THROWER OPTIONS

    Peritus...There are lots of options that fall within the parameters you desire. You'll be best served by an online search along the lines of "21700 long range thrower flashlight" or words to that effect. There is also a very broad range of price points in this category, which may be relevant to...
