Hello,
in my hobby and work i always needed and wanted a flashlight. On my work i have 12 trucks on care, i do interventions in night, lightservicing, repairs electrical and mechanical, often even body work,reading out VDO data, meet the drivers and give them assistance,documents (so basically everything). And to be more fun i live under a dark forest so flashlight is essential.
My first flashlight was a mini maglite with LED upgrade. It was a great littleflashlight but weak for my work so i bought my first single 18650 flashlight and charger combo (eBay special from China). The runtime was quite short, light was ok, battery vented quite fast on bad quality charger.
After that i bought 5-6 otherflashlights (mostly 1X18650 or 2X18650), some had problems with bad electrical connections on aluminum, other overheated or had bad switches. I had not found reliable flashlight. Last one i bought had a car charger with it (great, i wanted a flashlight can be charged anywhere simply) and almost caused a fire after i found out car charger is nothing except a resistor inside the plug. I was tired of low quality chargers, flashlight and batteries. Ok i admit i never bought a brand model, except ultrafire flashlight
For fun i ordered 85 W hid that came with defective battery, so i run it only shortly from my LAB supply. But that was definitely not what i needed
I decided i need a good quality flashlight,easily rechargeable anywhere, has good runtime, adjustable power levels and can be charged easy in car or house without dragging bagfull of cables and chargers. It should also be quite small, and not let me down every time i need it.
I searched quite long until i have seen Nitecore TM26 and fell in love at first sight.It seems to have everything i ever wanted, and despite talking myself out of it i ordered it in friday with car charger and Nitecore batteries. The DHL guy just came here to work and i put it on charge without anyone seeing it. I cant play with it now, but surely this night will not be for sleep. I guess i found my flashlight because i get chills when patting it under my table
Sorry for lengthy post, here is a Nitecore TM26 charging
