    Best UV flashlight

    LD05 is only 200mw UV output TK25UV is 3000mw UV output I won't comment on the uBeast UV output as I am not familiar with these units. Could be less, could be more, research is in order. I have been having a blast with my TK25UV these past few days. Can't wait to get my hands on some UV...

    Best UV flashlight

    I have had positive experiences with all Fenix lights I have purchased so I was waiting to order a Fenix TK25UV. A couple of weeks ago I noticed Fenix had discontinued the TK25UV and I was disappointed to say the least. The TK25UV has 2 LED's so you get up to 1000 lumens of white light and a...

    Why are you a flashaholic?

    We were having a party and about 2 hours prior to folks starting to arrive, my wife sent me to the store for a couple of things. It was raining so the sky was rather dark. I was about as far into the store as you could go when some idiot took out a power pole and the store went pitch black...

    new flashoholics are so lucky.

    For many years I had several various Maglights. My first foray into the LED world was those 9 led x 3 AAA battery POS Chinese flashlights that seemed to flood the market. After going through 3 or so of these I knew them to be the typical quality crap of goods being produced in China. Then...
