    18650 thrower

    I second the Nitecore P30. I caught it on sale and it was barely over $50.00. It's a nice thrower for 1x18650.

    Advice on buying AA charger

    My last Maha C9000 lasted 9 years. I gave out but I got my moneys worth out of it. I replaced it for a Maha MH-C401FS. Not as many bells and whistles but comes with a lifetime warranty. No need to condition Envelops anyway and that's all I use in my AAA lights. I spoke with Maha and thats...

    Where did all the oldtimers go.

    I've had an account for over a decade now, but was a lurker long before that. I've taken some long breaks in between and had to bring myself up to date recently. In the past month, I've purchased: Prometheus beta QR Nichia 219 electroless nickel Lunintop copper worm Nichia 219 Lunintop tool...

    Li-Ion vs AA/AAA - Which do you prefer in the wilderness?

    I can never make that call. That's why I'm always have a aaa light on my keychain and a Li-ion on my belt or clipped to my pocket.

    Very difficult NOT to love AAA's these days.

    VERY hard not to like AAA flashlights! I've been on an AAA kick lately. Love their size for EDC when I don't want to carry something larger. There's always one on my keychain. Love my 18650 lights, my CR123 lights, but there's always something special to me about the AAA format and how cool...

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    They are very similar and I've read a few times that the Beta is likely made by Lumintop. It is a production light, reportedly made to Justin's standards. Both are quality lights and you can't go wrong with either. I think it depends if you want or need the QR or not. I may order the...

    #96 My current favorite is an Eagletac D25C titanium. It has a very nice neutral tint and I like the size and interface.

    Olight Smini

    Thank you, that's about what I thought. I just got in an aaa Prometheus beta QR with a Nichia 219 and it's a little warmer than I was expecting. I have an Eagletac D25C thats very natural even though it's a CW. The tint lottery lives on...... I can make an argument for NW vs CW depending on...

    Olight Smini

    Does anyone know what the color temperature of the NW titanium lights are? If they're creamy white, I'll be ordering one. If they're yellow, I won't. Really want titanium. While I prefer neutral lights outside for color, I'm not nearly as big a fan of them indoors.
