    I’ve Been revisiting some old favorite lights lately.

    My EX10s with the OSRAM "Golden Dragon" LEDs are still alive afaik (have them packed from the move still) I have to admit they didn't see hard use though. It is too bad QC wasn't better. Even now, I still think it is a pretty interesting light. I still like the TEC 40 also. My examples are the...

    Refrigerator Flashlight

    Energizer Hard Case Professional Multi-Use Flashlight with magnetic clip ( HCMU11E ). It is a right angle light with a magnetic clip and single mode,75 lumens. Not too large using just a single AA.Energizer discontinued this light but there are still some available online. Pelican has a nice...

    CW VS NW your thoughts

    Ceiling bounce is better indoors than dedicated area lanterns IME and the cool whites do seem to work well for area lighting.

    6V "Lantern" Battery Lights - History? Anything good?

    I still like the old 6V lanterns with an LED drop-ins. Output is modest but the potential run-time is appealing. The large size doesn't put me off for the way I use the lights and I like the 6V batteries even if they are being abandoned these days.The 6V are one of two types of alkalines I am...

    CW VS NW your thoughts

    When I first started out with LED lights I was all about cool white but neutral/warm won me over after a fairly short time. My preference is 4000-4500k I guess but a lot of the cool whites are decent these days so I use them sometimes. General use outdoors is where I really want the warmer...

    Can anyone tell me what happened to my old flashlight? (2D Rayovac incan)

    I wonder if the ring/reflector from a new Rayovac Industrial would interchange? I am not sure if Rayovac is still making them but I see Battery Junction has a handful in stock for $6.60 so I would think there is a chance you could find one at a local hardware or another local store for $10 or...

    Has Your Flashlight Hobby Waned?

    My interest wanes at times,lately I have been on a knife kick,but it is still there. Something new will pique my interest or I will run across an old light and I will get the "bug"again. I am trying to curtail purchasing more lights for couple reasons. One, I have what I want for EDC and my...

    Automatic knives, valid for use?

    The state law isn't bad but you nailed it with Denver and Boulder having their own laws. I don't live within the limits of either but I am in the Metro and it all runs together to some extent. I am not sure if all the Metro cities besides Denver go with just the state law either so I would...

    Closest light to a rechargeable Photon Freedom

    The appeal of using any regular battery to recharge for me was that I could use found alkalines that I would not want to risk using in a decent light or device. It does seem that a more robust battery was needed.Maybe they should have went with 2 5MM LEDs and less output to be more in line with...

    Automatic knives, valid for use?

    Putting aside the legal gray area that surrounds switchblades to begin with, the prices I see make me lose interest. There are so many lock options now you are likely to find a non-auto that works well for you one handed anyway and there are a lot of really good options under $200 and even sub...

    Closest light to a rechargeable Photon Freedom

    I was a big fan of the Photon Rex as well.I got the impression that the Photon Rex's rechargeable coin cells didn't really hold up that well over time and LRI's recycle plan for the lights wasn't very feasible. I would like to see a new light with similar capabilities as the Rex but not with...

    Beware Alkaline Cells

    I have Tenergy low self discharge Nimh 9V and I believe there are some other brands out there as well. The problem I have run into is the the + and - connections are slightly recessed compared to lithium/alkaline 9V and will not work with some items like my Pak-lites. I do use alkaline 9V and 6V...

    List Your Favorite Light You Have Had For More Than 2 Years Than You Use Nightly

    Since I am typically home in the night hours these days it is the Paklite. I have a Seraph SP-6 with a Malkoff that sees a lot of backyard duty and a Solarforce LM2 with 1XCR123 also Malkoffed that I often use digging around upstairs for something but it is the Pak-lite that sees nightly...

    First Generation Inova X5

    Bummer that it doesn't work correctly. I actually think Emissive Energy should have stuck with a head twist design over the tail twisty.Don't get me wrong the tail twist X5s are great lights but I have found head twistys to be more convenient than tail twistys over the years.
