    [Review] Convoy C8+ 'Ultra Muggle' - 125lm single mode

    Cool, kinda reminds me of the old Surefire E2L with the single stage 45L output that went for 9hrs of regulated then lasted to 14 as it diminished... iirc actual OTF was around 60L. This was back in 2008-9 or so.

    Lost my Olight S1 Baton... how are you liking the S1R II

    Lost it early December about 2 hours from home, in the forest, cutting down our Christmas tree while it was snowing. I either lost it while cutting the tree down in an awkward position. Putting the tree on top of our SUV, or while putting on or taking off the chains to get out up a hill from...

    Wife Gave Me a Free Promo Flashlight.. Color Me Slightly Impressed.

    Wife brought me one of her works free promo swag flashlights with the department logo on it... Usually they are old school super cool tint shower-heads ala harbor freight, or a single 5mm using button cells.. but not this one! Rubberized coating, solid clicky, 3xAAA(the carrier is not very high...

    Surefire LX2 Lumamax Replacement

    IMHO.. the next one in line was the EB2T-A-BK(black) or TN(tan) Backup, 5/500 with two level momentary or twist on just like the LX2. It has just a bit wider hot spot. You might be able to find some of those still around. I have both that and my LX2 and love both. Then you are correct.. the...

    Menards, guidsman 3,000 lumens! Really?

    Theoretical lumens vs bulb lumens vs actual out the front lumens The super high too good to be true numbers lights like that usually claim the theoretical lumens that the emitter is possibly capable of on paper. Im betting it, at best is 600 out the front. I could be wrong.. but that is my...

    Pull the batteries for a bit then try it New batteries Make sure everything is threaded on all the way If nothing still.. driver is most likely gone. Happened to my 2015 EA41 from them. It turns on just barely and I can cycle the modes but nothing changes. Good luck getting it warrantied...

    Surefire L1 on 2 AA. Very Excited!

    Neat! Those early domed TIR surefires really did a good job with the lumens at hand. I remember my 30 lumen E2L seems to light the place up in the back country.

    Travel and camping lights of choice

    For backpacking I carry three lights.. my old school Princeton Tec EOS 80L headlamp.. it just wont die and does everything I need. I actually had a black diamond spot that got wet and failed and I went back to the EOS. I carry a surefire.. usually my EB2 500L... because it is bulletproof...

    Solar light AA's

    I concur with the LADDA's! I used to get the Tenergy AA NiMH 2000mAh batteries to replace the 250 and 500mah solar light cells... but now use the IKEA Ladda 1000's.. they are perfect and inexpensive!
