    My Daughter wants her 1st Flashlight

    My four year old wants her own too. When we walk the dog she loves waving a flashlight around. I would exercise caution and go for something of limited output. I gave her my Jetbeam PC10 set to low (head loose) although she also loves my Nitecore SENS AA which is great for little hands.

    Jetbeam Jet 3M Pro - 2014 (XP-L, 1x18650, 2x(R)CR123A) Review

    My 3M is in the post. I have a Jetbeam PC10, and a Ws4 searchlight (name?). Both excellent, but I had a recent bad experience when I ordered a defective M1X. I really like the Jetbeam styling, colour finish and beam tint, but the head twist UI and the spongy clicky annoys me intensely. It raises...

    Your Least Used LED Light and Why...

    A Lenser V2. It was kinda cool when I got it, but has a very narrow beam soas to make it unusable, with plenty of nasty artefacts. Discontinued now I think. Oh and every maglite I own is now redundant.

    Should Strobe Be Eliminated From Most Lights?

    Less strobe, more beacon. Oh , and it needs more cowbell.

    Why Led Lenser's flashlight so bad?

    I have a Lenser MT7, a P7 , a V2, a P2 and an assortment of Fenix units, a Surefire and some aged Maglites. I have had no bad experiences with the Lensers, and found them to be competent, effective and rugged. I do wonder if there is some Not-Invented-Here veiled criticism of these units...
