    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    Lumintop FW3A. Bought it because I wanted a single 18650 state of the art hot rod (since I have a lot of 18650s hanging around from my vaping days). Did I really need it? Hell no. Did I really want it? Hell yeah. Do I really like it? Hell yes bro. Using this outside is like turning on a frigging...

    Very difficult NOT to love AAA's these days.

    For me, I have 4 and don't need or want any more. Smallest size twisty single mode Olight i3E EOS (the one I actually carry the most), Brightest of the bunch Olight i3T EOS. Lumintop Tool AAA (best beam for up close working on stuff, wished it had memory like it's big brother Tool AA). Sofirn...

    Trust fire

    Don't know where you got yours but the TR-3T6 comes with a glass lens. Personally I have 0 issues with TrustFire lights. Seeing one of them really shows how much mark up there is on lights in general and how much profit the big names are making from the dudes who will spend the money. I got my...

    Anyone have any issues with Jetbeam BA10 switch?

    I would be surprised as Jetbeam never did acknowledge there was a problem with the switch to begin with.

    New Poor-Man's top 10

    Yeah some clarification would be good. Unless I'm missing something about the reason, I just can't figure out why linking to where a flashlight is would be a bad thing. Seems it would be a good thing to make it easier for people to find a light they are inquiring about (at a good price too). I...

    New Poor-Man's top 10

    Can you point me to where it says that in the forum rules? I have searched and can't find any references to not posting links. Info like that should be right up front easy to find in the FAQs if it's that big a deal. Forums are supposed to be for information. What's the problem with pointing to...

    http://www.kaidomain.com/product/details.S009844 I have this light and I like it a lot. Can't think of a better light under $20.

    You can't post links in this forum? Wasn't advertising, I'm not selling anything.

    Best Bang for your Buck?

    Sipik Sk68 (about 8) and the MXDL SA-28 (about $9) are about as good a deal as you are going to get. Both damn good lights. The Sipik is talked about quite a bit. The SA-28 on the other hand isn't. So far it's like it's been a well kept secret. That light will suprise a lot of people in build...

    SiPiK AA one-mode - Anyone familiar with this model?

    What single AA light doesn't get hot running a 14500? I have a cheap Duramax with a 14500 in it and it gets way hotter than the SK68 I have. The SK68 sheds heat pretty well IMO but I don't have it on for a half hour at a time either.

    SiPiK AA one-mode - Anyone familiar with this model?

    You can search for this light on google and see tons of places that sell it. You're going to have to wait a couple of weeks (or more) to receive it though as all the resellers are in China or Hong Kong. I'm not aware of any US distributors. Don't really know why. I think if a US retailer had...

    $13 Duramax

    All throw. Goes out a long way with the 14500 in it. Good for looking for something in a tree but other than that it's not very useful. Just too narrow of a beam. I don't use it for that reason.

    $13 Duramax

    As good a light this is for $13, it can't hold a candle to the Sipik SK68 (which is better in every way and sells for about $8)

    Inexpensive 1AA for "Public Transportation Bag"?

    ITP A3 EOS, which can be found for $20 including shipping. It can hold it's own against any AAA light on the market in output. Other names for this same light include Maratac ($25 plus $8 for shipping) and the Olight i3.
