    New Inova 2AAA LED penlight, model XP

    For a milestone birthday, among other gifts that I gave to my sister, was not only an Inova XP and an XS but XPs for the whole family and an XP and XS for myself. Liking 2xAAA for their sleek, sexy, easy to handle form and Inova for their strong build, good looks and their twistie with...

    What Tint for....Suburbia?

    Thanx for the reply, ven. Of course 5000K would seem like a good compromise...and, really, perhaps not a compromise at all as the 5000k-ish, vanillia-ish tone of my Fenix Luxeon R100 Premium is niiiice.... A big lottery winner. But with the exception of Zebralight's SC5Fd which, with its...

    What Tint for....Suburbia?

    It appears that warm/neutral tints are all the rage. Clearly, in natural environments, the choice between warm and cool tints is a no brainer. Likewise, for urban environments the choice of a cool tint makes sense. My very limited 2 day experience with the warm tint of a Nichia 219 from a...

    My daughter

    Without the strength and coordination of an adult, my, then, 4 year old niece had a MUCH easier time with twisties, albeit with two hands, than with clickies. The Inova X1 is a VERY attractive 80/11 Lumen, 2 level, 1xAA flashlight with a tactical style twisty for on/off with a push/squeeze for...

    Do you give away flashlights? How often, how many? Price range?

    Today, I bought 5 Inova XPs, 2 Inova XSs, 2 Panasonic NiMH chargers/w 4xAA Eneloops, 2 8xAAA Eneloops, 36xAA Alkalines, a L3 Illumination L11C earlier this week, and an Olight ST25 Baton earlier this month.... All of which will be given as gifts except for 1 XP, 1 XS and 1 8xAAA Eneloops...

    SAFARI!

    Ordinarily I would would agree about AA vs. CR123 availability...especially for non-flashaholics. But as they will be "out in the bush" with little to no resources and services, I'd suspect that their resources will be limited to what they bring with them. Additionally, while I'd also like for...

    SAFARI!

    Really, I don't know. But as most contemporary flashlights are multi-level, power can be adjusted to suit. So why not have to power if needed? I would think that a safari would be a different experience than camping...but as I have no experience with either, I can't say for certain. Besides...

    SAFARI!

    My sister and brother-in-law are going on an African safari in Zimbabwe. It will be winter there, so the nights will be longer. Yes, I understand that many campers would suggest something low level. But what about something for "general usage", trekking or those "WOW! Look at that!"...

    North Korea photo essay

    "Crossing Heaven's Border" is an episode of PBS's "Wide Angle" documentary series that depicts North Koreans escaping North Korea to freedom by way of China. This is truly one of the most intense hours of television that I've ever seen. It is an absolute MUST SEE...

    File back-up small?

    I read an interesting notion on line that stated that all hard drives have a 100% failure rate. If it's worth backing up, it's worth backing up twice. 73 dim

    what's the best alternative to Ebay?

    While Ebay is OK at times, I am finding that subject/topic/interest specific sites such as CPF for flashlights and Eham, QRZ and QTH.com for Amateur Radio to be of greater appeal to me for BSTing equipment. I'm sure that there are sites specific for audiophiles, photographers, astronomers...

    Buy Both!

    Can't decide? LD10 OR D10? E2 OR 6P? NovaTac OR Ra? Olight OR JetBeam? TK40 OR M2C4? Cool OR Warm? For me, recently, it was EagleTac's P10C2 and T10C2. I wanted the lumens, lux and SPILL of the T10C2 but liked the size and power of the P10C2. I couldn't decide...So, I bought BOTH! Even if...

    Flashlight for the wife, any ideas?

    For a "kubotan light", have a look at some of the EagleTac P10A and P10C flashlights. Each of the EagleTac flashlights are really bright, often, the brightest in each of their respective class and are "girthy" for each of their respective class as well. The P10A is a 1AA battery flashlight. I...
