    Monthly budget for lights?

    I see through your weasel words... "budget" implies limit.

    Klarus XT2C XPL-HI Flashes

    Mine flashes just like yours. XP-L hi version. I have no other complaints about the light though. The beam, handling, and performance are all top notch. Definitely leans towards the tactical side (full brightness when turned on, instant strobe access via paddle switch).

    Klarus G20 (26650/18650 USB rechageable) Flashlight pass-around

    Is "turbo" part of the regular brightness settings, or is it only available when you keep the button depressed?

    Eagletac MX25L3 vs SX25L3 comparison

    I had purchased an Eagletac SX25L3 with the MT-G2 several months ago and was very happy with it. It quickly became one of my favorite lights, and so when it disappeared in early December I missed it quite a bit. :( Consequently, when I saw Eagletac had released the MX25L3, essentially an SX25L3...

    Eagtac SX25L3 (3x18650, 2750lm)

    Got mine yesterday from GoingGear. First impression was "this is smaller than I expected"... it's a very usable size. Quality is top notch on everything I can observe. I got the kit version, primarily for the bezel, but I am warming to the tail switch. I took it out in the yard last night to...

    Eagtac SX25L3 (3x18650, 2750lm)

    Re: **NEW** Eagtac SX25L3 (3x18650, 2750lm) Well, I couldn't stand it any more and I pre-ordered. I'm really looking forward to getting this one. :)

    Eagtac SX25L3 (3x18650, 2750lm)

    Re: **NEW** Eagtac SX25L3 (3x18650, 2750lm) I've had really great luck with all my Eagletacs. Im definitely interested in the MT-G version, it would make a perfect companion for my Thunite TN-31. I'm quite fond of the 3x 18650 side-by-side format.

    Thrunite tn31 xm-l2

    The TN31 XM-L2 is currently my favorite light. Super bright on high, very low on low, and nice tight beam. I decked mine out with some GITD paint around the emitter and tritium fob on a lanyard. Did I mention it's really bright? Shine it on your hand from 3 feet away and you still feel heat...

    Do you believe in ghosts/poltergeists?

    My previous house was haunted, I say that as a matter of fact. It was an old farmhouse originally built in 1797. I'm a pretty dubious fellow but after a while certain things got hard to ignore. For instance: Upstairs bedroom doors would slam on their own, mostly in the middle of the night...

When I tested the new unit (different flashlight) it began t smoke behind the lens, staining the reflector. After two failures in a row, I requested aa refund, which I have...

    List the BEST/WORST flashlight purchases you have made.

    Best: Eagletac T100c2 mk II, warm. Simple, consistent, and reliable at a great price. Worst: Jetbeam RRT3. My first one quit after only a couple weeks. After waiting several weeks for a replacement, finally got it and during its first test run out of the box, the reflector becomes stained with...

    JetBeam RRT-3 issues

    Just to be clear, I've been very happy thus far with Bug Out Gear USA's handling of the problem, Flavio is a straight shooter. I just miss my Raptor.
