    Need a new car light that won't blow up!

    Yes, it was in the car during the summer with the sun beating down. It was out/exposed in the little area between the seats and the radio.

    Need a new car light that won't blow up!

    It varies. I have a second home in a rural area and every now and then I need a light, sometimes to check out off road wildlife or for other reasons. Not to change a flat so much. I was wondering if you all think any of these would be a good option? Jetbeam SSR50 Nitecore Tactical Star Precise...

    Need a new car light that won't blow up!

    The batteries were matched and disposable. Both put in the same time, although they were in the light for a long time. And Pelican now has a heat warning on their site regarding this flashlight. I would prefer more lumens. This was a old flashlight and although good at the time it's outclassed...

    Need a new car light that won't blow up!

    My car light was a Pelican M6 until it blew up in my car last summer. There was metal all over and a battery burned a hole in my leather seats. In fact I never found the second battery. So I need to replace it. I prefer high output and USB rechargeable (usb is ok) And of course it needs to...

    TL 3 batteries dying

    I don't test it, I just turn on the flashlight. I am using battery station cr123's. Can I use rechargeable batteries in the TL3?

    TL 3 batteries dying

    I have had a streamlight TL 3 for around 3 or 4 years. I use it up at my weekend house in the mountains to scan the woods around the house. Recently the batteries have been dying after 4 or 5 days, of little to no use. Typically I leave my house on a Sunday night, put the thermostat to 55...

    New Yorkers and other city dwellers -- When/where do you use your lights?

    Right before I go to sleep, after I turn out all my lights, I shine mine down the hall just for fun. Sometimes I test the throw of my various lights off my 20th floor balcony, down into the park below me. Of course the main use in the city is in case of black out, or misplacing something at a...

    $12 for a flashlight is too much!!!!!

    When we had the blackout here in NYC a couple of years ago I lent, and gave away several of my lights. One I lent was my Arc aaa premium, to a nice middle aged/older lady who lived down the hall from me. She obviously grew attached to it because when she returned it she told me she loved it and...

    Raw Ns Payments are now being taken.

    Hey Rob, You told me you were going to send out mine 2 weeks ago. No word yet and no responses to my emails. I'm leaving for vacation at the end of this week and was hopping to have it for the trip. Any chance of that happening? Thanks, amv

    SOG Knives

    I bought the same one a few years ago. At first I wasn't crazy about it. It's not as substantial as my Sere. However it grew on me more and more. It is very light weight but it proved to be a lot tougher then I thought at first. And it became my edc when not wearing my work suit. Right now I'm...

    What type of BOB Bag?

    It's a petrol 2005 LR3. There was no diesal option in the States when I purchased it. There are a quite a few Landrover forum groups that have lots of info on them. PM me if you're not already on them and want the links. amv

    What type of BOB Bag?

    Thanks daloosh. I saw your post already. In fact your list has been a tremendous help in coming up with ideas for the bag I'm doing. I know you're also in NYC so I'm sort of curious about how your office bag differs from your home BOB? AMV
