    Cell phone's camera flash LED as a light anyone?

    I have a flashlight app on my phone. I've never used it once. I forget it's there. Playing around with it after the initial download, I noticed it drained the phone battery quickly. I'd rather use my EDC light for illumination and save my phone for communication if I'm in a "jam".

    IT'S TIME FOR A GIVEAWAY

    I would probably give the Fenix CL25R LED Rechargeable Lantern....I don't know anyone who wouldn't appreciate having that in that emergency kit.

    a Man of Few Lights

    I go through phases...too many, then not enough. Different sides of the same "distraction" coin.

    Fenix CL09 Review

    ...was going to pick one of these up, but after viewing this thread perhaps I should wait until Fenix resolves this issue. Thanks for the fine review and thorough testing, rookiedaddy....much appreciated!

    2xAA - less popular as time has gone by?

    With the advent of 18650s and 14500's it's hard to make a compelling argument for the 2xAA ...but for the average **** or Jane, a 2xAA with some eneloops or lithium primaries makes lots of sense. Even for me, a 2xAA with lithium primaries in the glove box is comforting. By my count, I still...

    PD32 2016 and 18650's?????

    I am using Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh Protected button top...these can typically be a bit longer than other protected batteries but fit just fine in the Fenix PD32

    Fenix e15 question

    I bought an E15 recently and had exactly the same experience...all I had in the house was a olight 650 mah rcr. I couldn't get more than 5 seconds on the highest setting with the Olight. Bought a Fenix rcr....problem solved. Those Olight rcrs are feeble.

    NEW Fenix FD41 LED Flashlight - 360 Degree Rotary Focusing Flashlight

    ...agreed. Specs look VERY useful. I don't need it to spot a pimple on a flea's hind-quarters at a half mile.;)

    Fenix LD12 2017 Edition

    ....personally I'd be wiling to sacrifice some throw for the Fenix, which has 4 well-spaced levels and a momentary tail switch. No parasitic drain issue on the Fenix either.

    Fenix LD12 - 2017 Edition Now Available

    ..this an single AA flashlight that's being advertised by Fenix as an EDC. I don't think using strobe mode as self-defense was Fenix's intent here. I think the priority was to offer a nice little NW AA light for EDC.... usefully bright with decent throw that's 14500 compatible. That's just my take.

    Budget 18650 flashlight with side switch

    JETBeam/NITEYE makes the EC-R26 that seems to be on sale right now for less than $30 through most of the overseas retailers...I like mine. Check out the reviews here and over on Budget Light Forums.

    Fenix TK15UE - review

    It looks like a pretty tight, focused beam...is that an accurate assessment ?

    Glove box light?

    Any decent light with lithium primaries will work. Get some back-up batteries as well...I wouldn't spend a fortune on a light for the glove box. I use an older 2 x AA Fenix L2D premium with lithium primaries, and it's perfect for my needs. To my thinking a light with a strobe/beacon function...
