    ... Christmas gift to staff with focus on protection/awareness

    In follow up. I went with the Fenix UC35 v2. The deciding factor ended up being the ability to get them engraved with our school logo through the custom shop. They can not engrave as well on the E28R due to cooling vents or something. I think the employees who care about quality will like...

    ... Christmas gift to staff with focus on protection/awareness

    Thanks, I thought of this one as well and logged in to ask a question about it. I heard from Fenix and they extended a great price and custom engraving of the school's logo will only be an extra $3. However, I grew concerned of the size of the UC35 at 5.5 inches and that it might be too long...

    ... Christmas gift to staff with focus on protection/awareness

    The original post should give a general idea, but here is the form for those who like that format. 1) How would you prefer to purchase the light? ____I would like to purchase the light in person from a brick and mortar store. I am located in ______________. __X__This will be mail-order or...

    ... Christmas gift to staff with focus on protection/awareness

    I would like help with recommendations for a solid flashlight to be given to staff this Christmas. I am president of a small college and have recently engaged a security company to help assess our campus and train our staff. Much of the training will come in the form of situation awareness...

    Flashlight Enthusiast / MBA Student Looking For Help From You Guys!

    I appreciate your enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit. What you are proposing is a very difficult task. You have to develop a specific niche and market heavily to that group (forums, social media, etc) -or- have enough inventory to cover a variety of wants at a price that is below...

    Flashlights for travel ?

    Yep. The extra power was nice for looking out over the landscape, but certainly not needed for general duties such as lighting up a workspace or walking a trail. BTW, I warned Patrick about the high beam, but don't you just love the "turn that darn thing down" that the pic depicts with him...

    Flashlights for travel ?

    Well my Fenix flashlights served me well in the Rainforest. However, I discovered that it is not easy to photograph flashlight results. I have attached a couple, but sorry not great shots. This was our first night preparing Powis birds that we shot on the ride to camp. The first is on medium...

    Flashlights for travel ?

    I really do appreciate all the help and advice from each of you. I thought I would post where I ended up. I understand the discussion about sourcing the AA and AAAs anywhere, however, nothing convinced me that having reliable rechargeable batteries have any negatives when only being away from...

    Flashlights for travel ?

    Re: Few questions for first post- I have an older Black Diamond "spot" that runs on 3-AAAs, see no need to change it out at this time.

    Flashlights for travel ?

    Re: Few questions for first post- More great advice, thanks. Do you have a favorite 1xAAA light? Another good backup does makes a lot of sense, and would take up almost no room in my tactical "tackle box" sling pack.

    Flashlights for travel ?

    Re: Few questions for first post- I will be off the grid for four nights, so I do plan on bringing CR123s with me as backups. I am "sold" on 18650s because I already own three batteries in that size and like rechargeable, also they fit the Olight S20 I have (which I am looking to upgrade for...

    Flashlights for travel ?

    Re: Few questions for first post- 123's as backups make a lot of sense, my issue is when it is the "only" battery that the flashlight will accept (non 18650- like most Surefires).

    Flashlights for travel ?

    Re: Few questions for first post- Thank you for the feedback. I called Malkoff today, and the gentleman who answered the phone was a great guy (builder/designer). Made me want to give him my money as I prefer to support the "little guys" doing big things, and keeping my money in the US is a...
