    Pocket size EDC

    For the last couple of years, I'll either carry every day..... My iTP A3 'upgraded' model light with 10440, especially when I want to carry something smaller than chapstick. Stupid bright on the high setting (around 200-ish lumens), but it'll only last for about 6-8 minutes that way. Low is...

    Power Outage, How many Lumens, How many batteries? (for lights and more)

    I have a few Pak Lights around the house, and tested on a standard alkaline 9V battery on the low setting, it has easily gone for 15-17 days (8-9 hours a night, as a night light for the baby) before being far too dim and needing another 9V. I mainly did this to test the length/life of how long...

    How do you like the Fenix TK41?

    I've had my TK41 for about 2 years now. Used it once on a camping trip in 2011 and it's been sitting in my kitchen cabinet ever since. Great thrower, nice controls & interface, and I like the fact that it uses AA batteries. I also have the Fenix 'lantern' cap for it as well, which also fits...

    What Kind of a Flashlight User Are You?

    Don't need one at all...... Yet, I have a bunch of nice or custom ones that I've built, for certain applications or just to have as a cool/fun light. Most of the applications I have good lights are are keeping them in my cars, in my EDC bag, in the garage, all over the house, to take camping...

    Oilite/iTp "Next-Gen" Cree XP-G2 i3s eos 1-aaa,.$19.95 shipped

    How does this one compare to the iTP A3 "upgraded 96 lumen" model? I currently have one of those, and it's extremely bright and works great with a 14400. I wouldn't mind picking up another keychain AAA light like that, but just wondering if there was a difference between this "upgrade 80...

    Are tactical lights getting too bright?

    My Surefire X300 Ultra is too bright for me to use inside the house.... been thinking of selling it lately. That being said, I just squint my eyes before turning it on when it's pitch black and I just woke up. Works for me.

    Better keychain AAA light than Fenix E05?

    I've used the E05, iTP A3, Eiger, and LD05. The brightest are the A3, Eiger, and LD05 when using a 14500 battery. The Eiger has a really wide spill, and the A3 and LD05 have a much better hotspot and look better for an 'overall/everyday' keychain light, IMO. Between the A3 and the LD05, I...

    Too Cold For PD32UE?

    For whatever reason, my PD32UE also does the same thing now. Only, it's been sitting in my night stand for the past month in a constant 70-75 degree temperature inside my house. I recharged the Redilast 3100 mAh 18650 for it and that didn't make a difference. Also tried an AW and EagleTac...

    Battery-operated closet light

    Look into what people use for gun safes, using SMD LED strips and an 8-AA pack to power them. That's what I have in my gun safe right now (switching it over to AC since I know have power in there), but with 2 x 60" strips and 3 x 24" strips, it's extremely bright and almost too much at night...

    **NEW** Fenix PD32 Ultimate Edition (XM-L T6 NW, 740 lumen)

    I ordered mine up from Amazon earlier this week when it was on sale for $69 with free 2-day shipping (Prime). Got mine on Thursday and threw in a 3100 mAh EagleTac button-top 18650, and it works great. Very bright and the neutral color is great. I noticed compared to my "800 lumen" Nailbender...

    Surefire X300 Ultra

    I received my X300 Ultra earlier this week. I went to the range tonight and shot my Glock 19 with it on. Since the range was dark, I used it a for a bit while I was shooting. I noticed 2 things.... 1) It's much brighter than my 160 lumen TLR-1s and really lights up the entire area, and 2) The...

    Need info on Streamlight TLR-1

    Here's what happens when you shoot about a 1000 rounds through a Glock 19 with a TLR-1s (it has the 1911 bracket on there now since I pulled it off my TLE/RL.... no burn marks when using a 5" barrel gun). No problem with the light, and after about 200 rounds you need to wipe the filth off of...

    Lost power for 2hrs... thoughts...

    I have a Verizon MiFi 4G hotspot that I used when we had a power outage a few months ago (lasted for almost 36 hours in our neighborhood). However, my laptop only lasted for about 3 hours before the batteries died but my iPad and iPhone lasted a lot longer (iPhone charged up pretty quick with a...

    Need info on Streamlight TLR-1

    Below are some pics of a TLR-1S on my Glock 19. You can see how much it sticks out from the muzzle, so just be aware that if you shoot a lot with the TLR light on the G19, you're going to start to see some wear in the finish on the top of the light housing. It doesn't have any affect on the...

    Great pics. That really shows well how bright the X300 Ultra really is.
