    New guy from Canada

    I can safely say I've spent way too much money at warriors and wonders. It doesn't help that their store front is just a short train ride away... and then a short walk to mec.

    Fenix E99 TI Limited Edition

    Just picked up mine. Threads are a little gritty, but it is a very nice light. It will be attempting to replace my revo ss as my edc. This is my first TIR light, I like it so far but haven't had time to do a real comparison yet.

    Preon REVO still king of AAA?

    I just bought a e99 to replace my ss revo. I've had a couple of friends have their revos fail, and that had me nervous. We'll see if the e99 can suffice as my edc. It's got big shoes to fill.

    Foursevens Preon P0

    I just got my new P0 back from 4sevens. I sent in my old one after it got really hot on eneloops. They sent me a new one that works perfectly with eneloops. Thanks 4sevens you are awesome.

    A Flashlight for a Server room / Data closet / data center

    probably should have said that this will live in a toolbox in the data closet so it will be used by multiple people, most of which have probably never come across a multimode flashlight. That's why for the people who don't care they should be able to turn it on and have it come on at a...

    Apparently some people are not flashaholics

    +1 olive drab and black are definitely not for most girls. Heck even silver finishes are sometimes not enough. I've had a truckload of girls who actually wanted a thrunite ti in the redish pink color. The green ti I gave my wife was the first time she actually looked happy to get a flashlight...

    A Flashlight for a Server room / Data closet / data center

    I was wondering if you had to choose a light for working in a server room / data closet / data center what would you choose? I was recently tasked with this and here are some of the constraints. must be simple (tech nerds are not all flashaholics) so mode changing should not be required or be...

    What are your favorite LED "gifting" flashlights to non-flashoholics?

    I've had more luck with gifting AAA sized lights, especially ones that come in pretty colors. The Thrunite Ti (regular) fits that biil at around $15, user interface is great too. The 4Sevens Preon P0 is also a winner at $22. (before that it was the iTP A3, when they still made it) Most people...

    Very difficult NOT to love AAA's these days.

    For me it all started with the Fenix LD01. I grabbed two of their orig XP-E SS xmas editions :), a couple of e01's which were eventually gifted, Then an itp a3, which became my defacto gifting light for awhile. I've lost count how many people I've given an itp a3 to. After that I got my hands on...

    Why there are no lights like the Fenix TK20?

    I gifted mine to a close friend who does a bunch of outdoor camping... seemed a good fit for her at the time.... only now do I realise how good the tk20 was. I still see it everynow and then, and my friends still uses and loves it. She also tells me when she gets comments about it, which is...

    Apparently some people are not flashaholics

    I've gifted many a flash light to friends and family. Recently some to those doing long multi-week road trips. I do wonder what happens to them. I do ask when I see them again, but the response is more of a cursory "yes it was handy". I always get annoyed at my father in law. He is the owner of...

    Gift flashlight for my lovely bride

    +1 My wife has the green regular version in her purse. The UI is very intuitive. Twist -> low, Twist a bit more -> high My friends wife asked for the redish pink one. She loves it too. The 4sevens p0 is also an option as it is quite small and looks quite nice. Again a low -> high twisty. I've...

    Foursevens Preon P0

    FYI if you are in Vancouver Warriors and Wonders have the p0 for $19. I bought one just yesterday (As a gift) and I noticed that it had the red rubber insulating / reverse polarity protector in it. So I assume it's the newer version. In other news I had my orginal release p0 short on me and...

    When the battery fails in a Zebralight, what happens?

    Zebralights act Like most regulated lights, when a battery can no longer sustain a certain brightness level it will drop down to the next level, and so on, until it can no longer sustain the lowest level, and then it will be dark, cold and scary. Like hook63 said, don't try that on your...

    Flashlights in TV shows and movies (Part 4)

    just watched that episode too. Thought that was an olight, not sure if was the SR90 though, the head didn't seem as large as the sr90 when compared to the body. SR91 perhaps?
