    Cellphone as a Flashlight

    I have two on me a Nokia E63, momentary when keys locked, very fast and easy, and a 2 LED HTC Evo 4g, pretty bright for a phone. The Evo 4g, is smoking fast, Voice search, voice text, Google Goggles (Camera search and barcode scanner) 4-6-9Mbs, 11-12Mbs wifi. Wifi Hotspot for 5 devices, and...

    Blinking, strobe, and SOS modes, have they ever been useful to anyone?

    Also on an airfield at night you are suppose to have a flashlight on, pointed down when walking around, strobe can be useful and lifesaving. A landing zone can be marked too, some flashlights are brighter than most car headlights.

    Blinking, strobe, and SOS modes, have they ever been useful to anyone?

    I use them, strobe to get someones attention in a open space, or a parking lot, directing firemen would be good, but didnt have strobe then. Bicycling in low to medium light is very useful (even in a car you are suppose to use full headlights long before sunset, especially with tired stupid...

    Need recommendations for 1x AAA LED lights

    Would have to agree with the others, I EDC a A3 (upgrade 3 mode) stainless (30$). Also have a titanium version but it didnt have a clip, its not a good clip but you can reverse it and clip onto the visor of a cap. With very small threads I dont like aluminum but the SS version is almost 3 times...

    Buying advice for "emergency" light.

    Don't miss out on the option for a R4 version of the Fenix LD20, 205 lumens max, they are more efficient and brighter. I have two LD20 Q5(s)(180 lumens max), really like em a lot. Sounds like they could use a headlamp too. Please DO NOT get them a 3xAAA one.:candle:

    One Month as a Flashaholic

    "well, I might have gotten the Olight this month but I had to take my cat into the emergency vet one Sunday afternoon. The cost was almost enough to cover the SR90 but having a happy & healthy cat is worth far, far more." Been there, could have bought a small flashlight factory with the vet bills.

    You need something big, like a Olight Dominator 2200 lumens, super throw.

    Inova + Nite Ize = No Warranty

    My experiences with Inova have been very very bad, There are so many good lights now. Buy something that has a rock solid reputation or is a very good value. Nite ize stuff (accesories and parts for flashlights) seems to be very good I like them a lot. Hope they can change Inova, I would change...

    Led Lensers

    What bugs me about LED Lenser lights are the switches, if you put them in your pocket or touch them to anything they will stay on. I doubt they are very efficient, get something with a Cree LED. They just announced they have a 160 Lumens per watt LED. Just bought 2 Fenix LD20s, 2AA, 180 lumens...

    What light do you keep in your car?

    Fenix LD20, 180 lumen 2xAA, for the availability of batteries. A small 2xAAA, headlamp, its been there for many years, needs to be updated, Also need a headband for the LD20. On a trip 4xC Maglight, and ITP Polestar, 6xAA, 700 Lumens. Various headlamps.

    Which small cheap Flashlight?

    For a little more itp has a stainless version of the A3 EOS, small aluminum threads are fragile. I also have a titanium version, it didnt come with a clip, which can be reversed to clip on a baseball cap. Its not a great clip though, but not bad.
