I'll just throw in a recommendation for an Olight Warrior Mini II. Has a moonlight mode which might be useful in the cockpit but is more than capable of illuminating the entire plane from 100m away. Magnetic base could also be useful but the downside is proprietary rechargeable cell. Uses a...
I see cars driving around with failed lights all the time anymore. LED and incan lights. Headlights, tail lights and signals. I think it's more about the people driving them than it is about the tech. I've talked to people who have known about their failed lights for months but can't be bothered...
You mean the Aviation fuel that is used by all small aircraft across North America and probably even the world? The Avgas that still contains lead? That leaded gas?
Seriously? When I was six years old I wasn't attempting to eat batteries. And yes, I knew what batteries were, a few of my toys at the time needed them.
Basically your MH20 is old tech. It uses an older, more power hungry LED for the light source. Yes the specs may be similar but the XP-L LED in the newer lantern is more efficient at producing light. It's the coolest part of not using a burning wire to emit photons. Advances in the manufacturing...
Yeah I'm gonna go with proprietary cells. I won't buy a flashlight that uses them anymore. I have "accepted" the use of non-replaceable cells in certain other lights because I can. I am confidant that I could disassemble the light and replace it if needed but I probably will never need to.
He's probably been seeing all of the bay listings or similar site listings for all of the cheap lights with grossly overstated outputs. Just because they claim to output 8000 lumens doesn't mean that they actually do.
I have an old P20UV and an i2 charger that still work without any problems. I've had them for several years. The i2 is what I charge all of my LG and Keeppower cells on.
