    Your Flashlight Passion: How did it start?

    Wow, cool posts! my story isn’t nearly as interesting as the above.... I have always had flashlights, but generally small ones that came in a gift box with a Winchester or Snap on tool set. Last summer I ordered a couple of $5-10 (forget which cheap “Fire” brand) torches from Fasttech along...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    I bought a brand spankin new 40ft 5th wheel trailer for the family a few weeks ago and found an amazing spot to park it for the foreseeable future. My first big project this week was a 8x10' PVC shed that ended up taking me almost 3 days to build by myself. What a PITA. Over 600 screws! my...

    Sunwayman c22c

    I have one in the mail from China. For under $35, I figured it is worth a try. I like the side light and the end cap magnet. I'll post my impressions when it arrives via the slow boat....

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    Manker U11 and Jetbeam KO-01 are on the slow boat and should be in my hands in a couple of weeks. i know some people frown upon torches with USB charging capabilities, but I find it to be a handy feature when not near my VC4 chargers.

    Fenix HL16

    Excellent point. Thermal runaway on a 4 year old's head isnt something I want to experience! Single AA or a small rechargeable built in for her....

    Do you ever START liking a food item that you DIDNT like before?

    Hoppy as hell IPAs. I used to hate beers other than Corona and the usual mass produced suspects. foodwise, asparagus and sushi. Hated them as a kid now I love them.

    Movies you watch again and again?

    My favorite movies of all time (such as The Hurt Locker, Deer Hunter, Godfather, Gangs of New York, etc.) can't be watched over and over IMO as they are too long and serious. Movies I watch a lot tend to be dumb and funny movies like Dodgeball, The Hangover movies, Dumb and Dumber, Couples...

    Fenix HL16

    I just bought a HL55 as I prefer using 18650's but the HL16 would be perfect for my kids while camping. Id prefer lower lumens for the kids as I like my retinas. :D

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    A Fenix HL55 headlamp. Heard good things about this one and I need a headlamp for camping and running. on the slow boat so won't have it for a couple of weeks.

    Fenix HL35 and other Fenix headlamps - long term experience?

    Thanks. I believe it was an earlier post of yours with this pic (barn headlamp?) that made me lean towards the HL55. Not too heavy or uncomfortable? I doubt I would be wearing it for more than an hour at a time.

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    My first "good" flashlights are arriving this week. Lumintop EDC25 Convoy C8 A couple of Convoy S2+ (18650 and 18350) Nitecore EC20 Nothing fancy as I am about as much as a newbie as one can be when it comes to flashlights, but I am definately interested in learning much more. Am I off to a...

    Clear Nalgene water bottle and your headlamp :)

    Wouldn't the jug potentially melt with many headlamps even on lower settings? great idea though....

    your favorite walking shoes

    They look great. Interested in your impressions. I still wear my Kayano 12's from time to time. A little beat up but I ran my first and only marathon in them 11 years ago and don't want to trash them until they completely fall apart.

    VIDEO ADDED: NEW Fenix TK65R - DAAAANNNNNGGG!

    Re: NEW Fenix TK65R - DAAAANNNNNGGG! Wow, that's nice. might be overkill for me, but 5000mAh charging in 4 hours is good and the belt clip is cool!
