    Tips for effective flashlight use?

    You can make a sipik 68 tailstand by unscrewing the bezel and using it as a stand. Might as well leave the lens in place to stop you having to look for it later. Perhaps the best application of this would make it easier to give out 'sacrificial' flashlights during a blackout.

    Tips for effective flashlight use?

    If it's a blackout, and it's still light outside - find your flashlight and batteries while it's really easy. If your flashlight has a step down, and it's been on for a while, turn it off and back on again for more light.

    Post your home-made lanyard photos! (Part 2)

    I've seen usb cables that have been sleeved with the outer fabric of paracord, never thought to make a lanyard with it. Nice idea!

    The wildelk cord is great. I've got cheaper stuff and it's really hard to work with.

    a flashaholic 3yr old

    I know it's in the other direction, but what about a gerber recon? The light output might be a bit low, but it might be a fun flashlight for him.

    I just love the look of these things. Oh, and I'm in the Isle of Man (not quite the United Kingdom but pretty close).

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Used my new zebralight to find some screws I dropped while setting up a chest of drawers from ikea.

    Light to durability test

    How about including some of those cheap flashlights that are awash on ebay for less than a pound? It could be fun to see a early failure (we might even be surprised... )

    Looking back, which light are you now embarrassed for giving so much high praise for?

    Re: Looking back... I got an inova x5 a few years back, now the aaa torch on my keyring can push out more light...

    I got some on aliexpress.com. Search for reflective paracord. You might as well pick up some snap hooks too. http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/234981216.html $11.39 for 100 ft. The seller has some gitd paracord too. http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/234210865.html $33 for 100. Nowhere near...
