    Do I have a memory mode or not?

    You can check if its memory by removing the power and see if it behaves the same. It could also be a multi-position click that sets the mode in the tail cap. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    Good travel flashlight?

    What about a simple light (like Thrunite Ti) and a trit fob? Easy UI, AAA batteries with decent life, and a glow fob that runs 10 years and no charging. The fob would also keep roll to a minimum. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    Best flashlight to keep around the house for "emergency" use?

    If you want to stick with AA, you can also get the Energizer Advanced Lithium, or Energizer Ultimate Lithium. Same advantages of CR123A in a AA package. I use these in all my lights that take AA. These are also great for a car flashlight as they can handle the temperature extremes better than...

    "Night Visits" to wherever

    When I saw the title to this thread, it made me think of where you go at night to try out your new light like a park or open country. Guess I was a little off! I have a 15-month old daughter so a sub-lumen light is great for avoiding stepping on toys. What's worse than the pain of stepping on...

    EDC light to carry loose in pocket, single cell.

    I lost a Fischer Bullet pen this way. Took the clip off because it kept sliding off anyway, and as I was sitting on the floor of the car dealership playing with my daughter while my truck was being serviced, the pen slipped out. Didn't notice until that night and by then it was long gone. I'd...

    EDC light to carry loose in pocket, single cell.

    For pretty cheap I might consider the Thrunite T10 or T20. I do have my eyes on the Eagletac D25C Mini though. I pocket carry the T10, and don't notice it much. It's on a keychain with a SAK Rambler. The T20 I keep on the nightstand as the "don't wake up the wife and daughter" light. Also a...

    Quality Low to Mid Lumen AAA Lights

    The Thrunite Ti should be on your list too. Good prices now both on their thrunite-store website, and amazon.

    Christmas gift for family & friends?

    Re: Wanted: Stocking stuffer lights I wouldn't guarantee dx will make it by then. It depends if they have stock how long it takes. I've seen my order sit for 2 weeks before shipping, then taking another 2 weeks to get here. That's cutting it pretty close and I've heard worse tales. I've...

    Which AAA keychain EDC

    I picked up a cheap $5 "mad dog" AAA flashlight at a local Northern Tool store. The light had a terrible beam and an angry purple tint, but the clip fits my Ti perfectly! I'm going to get rid of the mad dog and put the clip on my Ti once my Skinth shows up. Sometimes you get lucky picking up...

    What's battery type preference and why? CR123A or AA?

    AA nimh might, but alkaline (even though listed at 3000mAH) doesn't necessarily give you full capacity. On the energizer website I've seen charts that say when drawing 25mA, you'll get full capacity, but anything higher degrades the capacity. If you are pulling 1A, the runtimes are a lot...

    elderly flashlight help

    My wife picked up a Nebo 1xAA flashlight at the Container Store a couple weeks ago for her mother. Doesn't look too far off from a Fenix E11, besides the bright colors. Only 50 lumen, but that's still more than most non-flashaholics are used to. Not sure about the other specs, but you can...

    Thoughts on gluing/adhering a neodymium magnet to the end of a flashlight.

    I've read a write-up on another forum where someone drilled down the bottom of a right-angle light and put a magnet under the spring with good results. It was a trustfire Z1 if you want to google it. I would only see an issue if the light used a magnetic sensor for brightness control like some...

    Recommend a COOL Kids LED Flashlight

    If I was with them the entire time, yes. If I were to hand it to them and walk away, no. I'll be gifting these with alkaline, but might get their dad some eneloops for his Cabellas 2xAA light. If Costco still has the big packs there would be plenty to go around. Sent from my Nexus 7 using...

    Recommend a COOL Kids LED Flashlight

    +1 on the sipik. I bought the 3-pack from meritline for my nephews as stocking stuffers this year. The youngest is at about that age. They can also run 14500, but I hear they get a little warm like that. I've also bought them from dx, and always been happy but there's a link in the good deals...
