    Flashlights save the day! :)

    This is an excellent example of the changes to one's lifestyle having an EDC makes. Many people might say they keep a light in the car to change a flat tyre at night. Many might take one when talking the dog a night. An EDC covers every possible situation like that and then a whole bunch you...

    What do you use your thrower for?

    When a suspicious car is in front of the house late at night the thrower gets used to illuminate the inside from in the house. It is quite effective, partly to figure out what is happening in the car, partly to incent people to move on.

    Are you able to find top LED flashlight brands in stores near you(except Surefire)?

    In the NNJ/NYC area there are some available. REI and Campmor are always handy if you have a car. No Cabelas near here. There used to be a really nice LEO/hunting supplies place 5 miles from me but it has gone now. On the bright side (pun intended?), B&H photo near Penn Station in NYC has a...

    Searching for French army Tatou knife (plus fork and spoon)

    Hi all, hoping somebody with great sources can help me out here. I am looking to get a couple of original French army issue knives, they are sometimes referred to as a Couteau Tatoo or Tatou. I specifically want to avoid cheap copies of them. Used is fine. Here is a beautiful exposition of...

    Wow, why in the world do you carry a flashlight with you?

    There is a specific, if longwinded, reason why I carry a light 24-7 but this only gets trotted out if I am in the mood. Generally this question comes up exactly in situations as described by the OP, we have just encountered some greater or lesser need for light and I provide some suitably...

    is your wife/girlfriend/significant other supportive of your flashlight addiction?

    She laughs when I get a new one but then when she needs one and it is not in the right drawer or in her car or whatever then she changes her tune. Also, when she goes camping with her friends and has 400 lumens in a hand sized light, she appreciates what she has. Everybody else on the campsite...

    Which do you prefer a Flood Beam or a Throw Beam?

    I routinely carry floody and it is mostly what I need. Even outside, in the woods a strong flood seems to be better than throw for me. There is not that much pure open space around us. The most frequent usage I have for good throw, and this on a medium sized light, is if a car stops outside...

    Flashlights on a Plane

    I usually carry 18650 lights on my person, often with spares cells. I put all that stuff in my fleece for security and take it off and have it x-rayed. They sometimes want to see the light, sometimes not. I would also hazard that they would not steal an 18650 from your checked luggage...

    Advice regarding VME and 2x AA

    I am putting together a light for a friend and we have settled on a VME head plus M31W. He wants to power with 2x AA (primary or eneloop) and wishes to to use a CLICKY. I may provide him with a 1x123 body also but that is easy. What body choices do I have for the 2x AA? No Titanium please...

    Dude fell into nuclear plant cooling water, reaching for flashlight.

    Some guy fell into the cooling water of San Onofre while trying to grab his flashlight, http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/02/worker-falls-into-reactor-pool-at-san-onofre-nuclear-plant-.html First, one wonders which flashlight it was. Second, any stories similar to this? I have never...
