    What is your prefered start up brightness?

    high almost always.. unless i'm trying to look into my eye in the mirror. You see, I have something i designed that i refer to as the Collimator IRISmax 3000 for modulating brightness. In a nutshell the procedure involves my thumb and index finger collimating the beampath ;)

    heres a noob Q: airport security and flashlights

    thank you all very much for the responses. Yes i should clarify it is the Phyllipeean islands we are going to, Bohol to be exact via Manillah. I bet lights do get seized, at least occasionally. Maybe not. Has anyone even heard of a light being apprehended at an airport? I collect spydercos...

    so whats the deal with lasers? we all know the countless utilites a good pocket light possesses. But can the same be said of all the fancy lasers available these days? Look, I admit I owned a simple, cheap red laser 10 yrs ago. My dog loved to chase the red dot at night on the soccer field. My...
