    LED lights damage eyes and disturb sleep, European health authority warns

    Personally I have found the danger caused by cool white LED's was mainly in my sleep cycle. I didn't know it was happening but lack of solid sleep was driving me nuts and messing with my health. Now I avoid any cool white lights/blue LED screen tints in the evening and all is much better. I...

    how long will frozen food last after power outage

    +1 on this - I always fill the excess space in my freezer with milk jug ice blocks. The freezer works a bit less and your food lasts days at a time. And as said before, never open the Fridge or Freezer. I live in Alaska and the power goes out often enough to plan for. I've never tested how...

    Thoughts on Pelican Lights?

    I have not had anything from Pelican that I was not completely thrilled with. I love my 7600 and it's always close by.

    How about flashlights for kids for Christmas?

    My kids each have these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GD463NE/?tag=cpf0b6-20 USB rechargeable so no need to refresh batteries, water resistant, red light for reading at night and cheap. They have different colors to tell them apart and they love them.

    Looking for a blood spotting light.

    I ran across a video where they tested a few color scenarios and blood tracking and he noted a big difference between LED and Incandescent bulbs with the same color filter. I thought it was an interesting point on the subject. FF to about 9:00. https://youtu.be/7ukbPrzdmNA

    Lithium Primaries AA & AAA

    I live in Alaska and I use Lithium 'AA' primaries for my game cameras that are constantly in the cold, and sometimes for flashlights that live in a vehicle over the winter.

    I'm done with Cool White!

    References: Light color and sleep is real. I recently overcame a sleep issue and cool lights at night were a factor Light color and sleep:https://medium.com/@jubishop/how-to-get-better-sleep-fcb74f4df0b5 Good point on the moonlight and animals, but probably really counts on/near the full...

    Where did the 1xAA lights go?

    Is a 14500 powered light an option? same size with more punch to make up for the dimness of a single cell alkaline. Likely you can find a dual-fuel one like the Thorfire Mini that will still work with standard 'AA' cells for disaster prep.

    About to give my three boys their first 18650 LED lights

    My kids are 9 and 10, so about the same age as your younger two. They are in the woods at night constantly but I always give them the 'AA' lights out of the junk drawer. My main reason and concern though is that they lose stuff ALL of the time and I just don't want them losing my more...

    Experts Needed (Olight S1R II Baton questions)

    Warm White is an amber color (think a torch, campfire or incandescent bulb), while Neutral White is more like natural daylight. Warm White is easier on the eyes and doesn't disrupt sleep cycles as badly as Neutral or Cool white does.

    Nebo MYCRO: a 400 lumen powerhouse the size of a quarter!

    Another advantage of a red light is it will not disrupt sleep cycles like neutral or cool white. Blue light spectrum blocks melatonin production in the body.

    Beam Distance

    in photography the best camera in the world is the one you have with you when you need it. Much the same with EDC lights. For me that means small form factor (AAA or 10440) that will fit in my pocket, which usually have a more floody beam with not much reach but lights up a small room or...

    Red light

    I bought a Foxelli headlamp for my kids. There's 2 integrated Red LED's, waterproof, USB rechargeable and cheap and they haven't broken them yet. Note the batteries are not replaceable but the red light just sips the juice. Mark
