Good, smooth beam quality, with the...- avusblue

Energizer 1 watt (Rebel) headlight at Target
I bought this light today (at Target for $20 bucks :) ), tried it out tonight, and have to say I am impressed. Well worth the money. The progress our lights have made in a few short years is really great! Cheers, Dave -
New Energizer Industrial 2D LED -- Has anyone tried it yet?
Any reviews for this light yet? There is something about its "old-school", basic form factor that I find appealing. Claims 45 lumens, 70 hour run time (although it doesn't claim 45 lumens for all 70 hours! :) ). Energizer IN2DLED pdf data sheet BrightGuy Link Thanks, and cheers, Dave- avusblue

Question: If I buy the Alkaline model and use rechargeable NiMH AA's, will a Survivor charger base (intended for the internal NiCD pack) charge the AA's properly? Thanks, Dave PS I've not read about switch problems dkelly mentioned, anyone think...- avusblue

Light Buster Trailer Hitch Accessory Light ?????
Herb, I have one of these on our Suburban and I can highly recommend it. With the dark tinted windows of these vehicles, this accessory makes a world of difference backing up at night. Very bright and ample light compared to the vehicle's standard backup lights. We have three kids that play...- avusblue

Should I get a SL Strion?
The Strion is on my all-time favorites list. It offers a great balance of brightness, runtime, size, value, quality, and ease of use. It is very bright, and is focusable to change from powerful spot to useful flood. While the lights mentioned above are undoubtedly good performers, a unique...- avusblue

Tips for a working pro?
Given your needs and what you've already experienced, I recommend checking out the rechargeable Streamlight Strion. It has continued to be my main go-to "tool" light, even as LEDs have taken over the field of "what's hot". As you've found out, there's still a lot to be said about the warmer...- avusblue

I spoke to a WSJ reporter about our hobby . . .
I'm the guy mentioned and quoted in the first two paragraphs of the article. I was first interviewed over a year ago (see the opening post in this thread), and the reporter called me yesterday to give me a heads up that the article would finally run today. I told him I sold my SureFire M6 in...- avusblue

Automotive GPS review
I've been enjoying the Garmin StreetPilot i5 for the past couple weeks and find myself astounded by how good it is, for how small it is and how little (relatively) it cost. Amazing how technology has advanced! It's accurate, easy, and fun to use. Probably the biggest "wow" factor of any...- avusblue

New Strion!!!!
The Strion is in my all-time favorites list. Great balance of brightness, runtime, size, price, quality, and ease of use. Guilt free lumens are wonderful, and I appreciate the convenience of a "drop in" charger as opposed to having to remove batteries, put them in a charger, and replace them...- avusblue

New to the forum. Question on SF G2.
When you're using a light at work, you'll be using it a lot, and you can really go through the batteries. So consider a rechargeable -- and for your needs I'd strongly endorse the Streamlight Strion. The Strion is about the same size as the G2, has about the same light output (especially when...- avusblue

Arc-AAA Neck Carry
These are all great suggestions. I can also recommend another one . . . at your local Walgreens or CVS check out the "medic-alert" necklaces. The type holding a metal tag that folks wear if they have a medication allergy or diabetes, etc. They have very high quality small bore stainless steel...- avusblue

Where did all the oldtimers go.
Time flies! After more than three years I am still checking in here almost daily, but much more of a browser than a poster nowadays. Most of my attention is given to a quick habitual spin through the B/S/T listings. I've toned down my cycling through types of lights, too, as I've settled on a... -
xm, sirus satelite radio question
When I bought a new 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe, it came with XM standard along with a three month free trial subscription. I thought, "what a dumb idea, who would ever PAY to listen to the radio?" Well, after a few weeks I was hooked and now I am an enthusiastic customer. Now, I hardly ever listen...
