    Fenix, 30 Lumens is too much brightness for low mode

    It's nice to see Fenix listening! After this poll and thread of people saying how they'd love to see Fenix lights with lower low modes than 30 lumens, they release the new E28R with a low of ...30 lumens. Oh, but wait! They have also recently released the E35 V3.0!! Thankfully that one has a...

    Fenix LR35R & E03R Officially Released

    Clearly, these are very different lights with different applications. And yes, both have USB-C charging. ...But why are both being described as "portable palm size" and "super bright security" flashlights?

    Fenix E20 V2 coming soon ... /// No updates for the LD22 series planned ...

    So... anybody who bought one able to compare it to the 2015 version? Anybody test those outrageous alkaline times yet?

    Fenix E20 V2 coming soon ... /// No updates for the LD22 series planned ...

    I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison of the new E20 to the 2015 version. Not just for size but for beam pattern, as the older one was such a thrower. I'd also like to see a test of those absurd runtimes using alkaline batteries... how can the light have two to three times more runtime...

    Just ordered a Fenix PD36R

    I have a PD35 V2 with the dual switch and a UC30 with only the side switch. Both have practically the same UI and output levels. The UC30 has a long press for on and off, and short presses for mode change. A very long press activates strobe. I much prefer the UC30 over the dual switch. I'm...

    Lumintop FW3A - 3D - wow, just WOW

    It does have a lockout, so coming on in your pocket can easily be stopped. The buggy switch can be a problem. Mine will sometimes flicker when trying to turn on. Unscrewing and rescrewing both ends seems to fix that. Sometimes, when screwing it closed, it will react as if the switch is being...

    FW3A light

    Thanks! I was actually planning on ordering one from him when I placed another order, but forgot to. Now I either have to pay $5 for shipping on a $3.50 item, or buy $21.50 of other stuff to not have to pay shipping again... I might as well wait until I'm ordering other stuff, and live with...

    FW3A light

    After finally getting an FW3A about a month ago, it immediately became my EDC light. Mine has the updated tail switch with a retaining ring and the little nubbin that fits snugly in the rubber boot. Still easy to mod, but much more secure. The size and tapering body make it very comfortable...

    BLF/TLF FW3A impressions

    I received my FW3A about two weeks ago and it has ruined me for all my other flashlights. Its size, output (with XP-Ls 5000K), and UI are all fantastic. It occasionally gets quirky (only flickering when attempting to turn it on) but a quick unscrewing and replacing the head fixes it (though...

    SAK REpair?

    If it's just a loose scale, you can buy them separately. They snap right on once you pop the old ones off. Lots of colors to choose from, and you can get the plus scales to allow you to add the pin and the pen as well.

    Very difficult NOT to love AAA's these days.

    I like the brightness of the Cree (I did order the Nichia but got the wrong one), but oh my is that green halo around the hot spot disgusting looking...

    Nitecore TUP: impressions/pictures, (beam)shots, comparison

    How did you get the ring out?? I took mine apart but it seemed like the ring was part of the plastic piece that separates the two halves. I lost one of the little screws taking it apart and I still have the tail ring!

    Very difficult NOT to love AAA's these days.

    I just did the same! I wish the copper one could have a split ring attached to it. I've been carrying a Sofirn C01S on my keys but would consider swapping this in if I could.
