    Help me complete my 6-pack...

    Of soda can lights. I recently bought two just a few months apart and now I'm thinking that (naturally) I should just have a complete 6-pack. I'm not actually gonna stop there, but a guy has to set some intermediate goals, right? Here's what I own so far: Nitecore TM16 - Bought this years ago...

    Battery Suckers Suck - Thrunite Catapult Mini

    Doesn't really address the original question, but... Most of my lights these days are fire or send-you-to-the-hospital burn hazards.
