    Olight S30 Baton review (1000 lm,XM-L2,18650/2xRCR123A)

    Great review!! I read it *after* ordering one for myself and find it to be a great light. A little heavy and long for EDC, so my S10 still is my main pocket EDC. If I were to find a good holster for the S30, it would be my main EDC, any suggestions? I like the mode selection, but agree that the...

    Post your lanterns

    Wow, it's been a long time since I posted this. My collection has grown along with my knowledge of Coleman liquid gas and LP lanterns and stoves. My lanterns are now about 4 to 1 in favor of liquid white gas/LP to battery powered lanterns. My collection is too large to display like this:

    Fuel Lanterns Safety Indoors?

    Being a Coleman gas (white gas & LP) lantern user and collector, I usually use them indoors rarely, and never in a tent or RV/camper. *Edit* Short answer is do not use them indoors. Be safe!! Greg. *Edit*

    which coleman lantern?

    True, but Gaz has(had?) 2 styles, the pierceable one and the self sealing valve one, when you remove the device, it seals itself. I am referring to the CV270/CV470 cartridges. Those are the type I used and never had one leak. Thanks for the reply! Greg

    which coleman lantern?

    With the Exponent lantern, you may have trouble finding the fuel cartridges where as the single mantle Coleman propane has find-anywhere (virtually) regular 1# bottles. I ran into that issue with my older Campingaz stoves and lanterns that use their own butane/propane cartridges. Back in the...

    Which to keep? Cyclops apollo? Or Favourlight Mini Lantern variant?

    Found these two lanterns at my local Cabela's in the bargain cave at very low prices (9.77ea) plus an extra 15% off, so now the question is, which one would you keep? I already have 2 of the River Rock cool white lanterns, and doing a search on CFP found a beam shot comparison of various lantern...

    OLIGHT T20 V2010 XP-G R5 problem *SOLVED*

    Bought an OLIGHT T20-T XP-G R5 light from an online retailer that had a great Blk Fri event price. BUT when I got it yesterday and loaded it up with fresh 123a's, all I could get out of it was strobe mode. Anyone else have a defect like this one? I'm hoping someone knows if there is a way to...

    Anybody still like using Nicads?

    I use 6 new Tenergy AA 1000 mah in my portable scanners and like the fact I can hook up the wall-wart charger and go to sleep and not worry about them charging all night inside the scanner. Years ago, when I first bought the scanners, pre-the WWW, Nmh, Li-ion, fast chargers, etc, the only game...

    CampingAZ Lanterns?

    Russelle Thanks for the come-back. When I have time I'll set up my NIB C270 this coming weekend. I like the size and hope the rated output will be bright enough. I just got it end of last week from a pretty good seller on £bay. I even found some mantles from another seller. I have a regular...
