    better alternative to Streamlight Sidewinder ?

    I've had several Sidewinders over the years, the Compact II is the best version IMO. There's also a cheaper clone from Russia they made part of their Ratnik program - the 6e2. If I needed colors options today I'd get a RGWB light like the skilhunt H03C RC...

    Convoy Lights: Option Comparison Tables and Images

    I know this is an old thread but it was extremely useful to me when I was first getting into the S2+ so I wanted to share some of the data I've collected as well. A fan third party update of sorts. Over the past year or two I've purchased and tested various lights trying to find the perfect...

    Any modern lights with interfaces that aren't crazy?

    i4000R and E4K are both 25 second timer stepdown for their turbo modes T4K is 10 second timer for turbo I don't think they qualify as 4000 lumens steady. That doesn't seem possible right now in a 21700 light but I'd love to see if you can find one. AFAIK the best performing 21700 light is the...

    Convoy S11 vs 2 x Convoy S2+?

    For bike use, the 7135*8 S2+ is the worst option. Riding, it is almost visually identical to the 7135*6 but has much worse runtime. If you are considering the S2+ for bike riding, there is no reason other than saving very few dollars, to not use the SST40 model with 5A driver. It has...

    What happened to everyone?

    Re: Dang, this place sure has slowed considerably I got back into the hobby 2-3 months ago and I was also pretty shocked by the lack of BST posts. But it's not just here, it's everywhere. It seems like either there's a secret flashlight selling area (that's not another forum, facebook or eBay)...

    Pentagon Lights X3 and MS2

    The MS2 X should take a P60 drop-in just fine. It's incandescent correct? Back in 2006 or so when the BOG 3-Watt P60 drop-ins were taking the world by storm I converted my X2s to LED with them, here's a quote from an old post: For the X3 You can get an L2 head from ebay, put it on the X3 body...

    Is this really advancement?

    Depends - does the light have practically spaced and well regulated hi/mid/lo/moon modes? If it does, sure, add a 3 second turbo. Seems more of the advancement has been at the mid end anyway. Look how long some lights are running at 250-300 lumens on a 18650 cell. 6 hours is common, which is...

    FirstLight Liberator

    I picked up both a Tomahawk ST and MC late last year, 11 years after originally considering purchasing them - and deciding against due to the high price. Now they're easy to get for $50-$75. The form factor is perfect for any task oriented work where you might need two hands for a second. Work...

    Battery leaked in my Olight S15 Baton. I need some help with this, please.

    I ordered one fine but then the order was canceled a few days ago. Not sure if it's a stock issue or something to do with Coronavirus.

    Battery leaked in my Olight S15 Baton. I need some help with this, please.

    The S15 is one of my favorite lights. Have a pair I've used for hundreds of hours as bike lights and then work lights. Interestingly, there appears to be a clone that works on both AA NIMH and 14500 Li-Ion batteries...

    how did your addiction start ??

    Hard anodized Inova X5 from CountyComm Summer of 2003 pulled me right it. Paired with a Inova XO for some throw (:laughing:) and I had a great intro to EDCing a flashlight. I've had at least one light on my person every day since then.

    What is the longest you have carried the same EDC light?

    The same physical light? Preon P2 MkII I got in late 2016 - almost exactly 3 years. Same model? Preon P2, 7 years from late 2009 to late 2016 - kept the same body and tailcap but updated the head from regular CW to WW to NW before I retired it for the MkII. I've also used the same pair of...
