    Should I buy before tariffs hit?

    I’m literally just trying to engage in some trade arbitrage/stock up before it hits. Hoping someone is knowledgeable enough to say.

    Should I buy before tariffs hit?

    This is probably more a question for the other forum; but I’m not registered there. I have a list of Chinese lights I’ve been looking to get and with the coming tariffs should we buy before the price gets increased in a few hours? Or are knives and flashlights exempt/not going to be affected a lot?

    Does it ONLY work with unprotected cells or just better with unprotected?

    Best resource for highest CRI +best rated flashlights of all classes?

    I just got a mixed grab bag of older flashlights useful across applications. all are great flashlights, and have scratched most of my itch. However, if there’s one thing I could ask for it’s for all my lights to be high CRI. Is there any good resources that couples only high CRI light...

    In search of the Farthest Throwing Hi CRI Flashlight Stock or Modded

    This thread is delicious. Questioning why someone wants something when this place is devoted to feelers about flashlights. I’ll give it a go. i just got a lot of decent flashlights from years of yore, and they’re excellent including the throwers. However, I realize how much I never want to...

    Thanks all. Apparently america’s Hat is better at tracking than America is. USPS hasn’t updated with specifics for 3 days. Guess I’ll have sufficient 18650s before the lights come. I’m dying!

    Imalent warranty/broken light support?

    Thanks for the info. Checked again and it’s a DN70- figures I should start smaller to check quality before going big. Not sure I’m going to use any other 26650 flashlights; but saw a review with a 3D printed 18650 holder for a dn70.

    Re: WTS: Selfbuilt's new MID-RANGE MYSTERY BOX Offer - $90 USD Excellent and thank you. My thought is to limit this habit, get a bunch of different lights for different needs, get the batteries, and be done for years and don’t obsess/spend too much sanity on this. I have way too little sanity...
