    Paranoid About Using Flashlights Outdoors (in neighborhoods, cities, etc)?

    I think I am cursed, I have had streetlights burn out at least 6 times over me. I have never had problems from others when I use flashlights. Common sense is to not point directly in eyes or into structures. If I am around sleeping people or in a theater I won't use more than 0.01-1 lumens.

    Compact EDC recommendations please

    If you have room in your pockets a waterproof match case can hold 1x 18650 or 2x cr123.I replace the battery in my HDS when it is half dead so I always have at least 150 hours of "medium" output that is plentey to walk around, ~5 hours of high, and weeks of moonlight.

    Larger bezel diameter = more flood?

    Larger bezel diameter = more flood?

    As someone else said a maglite LED flashlight might do the trick. I am a big fan of flood lights especially ones that put out quality light that show true colors, this is often referred to as high CRI

    Peak offers the el captain ultra x which runs on one 14500 and puts out 650+ lumens, they also sell one that uses AAA size Li-ion and puts out ~425 lumens.

    how much brighter can a led get?

    Yes it is true that you can't ever get more light / watt than theoretical green light. This is because light is energy and it doesn't come from nothing. In the case of a flashlight it is taking energy stored in the battery. Watt is a fixed ammount of energy that can only be converted to a fixed...

    Low lumen penlight?

    Peak has 2AAA lights as an option or just get a Peak Eiger. Get a #subzero and a medium optic and high CRI LED and the output should be less than 10 lumens with a runtime well over 20 hours. Or same configuration with a QTC pill and have adjustable output starting at ~.5 lumens up to 40. You can...

    Knife & Light pics. (Identify your images!)

    Re: Knife & Light pics. (Identify your images!) I just got this in, Peak eiger HiCRI SS lug And the knife is a SS winchester that I got for $3 from a thrift shop. I have definitely spent more on flashlights than knives, probably because I have more problems with reliability from cheap...

    Runtime test on turbo?

    If heat is the only concern you could put the light in a plastic bag and put it under water.

    Not life and death, but...

    I went riding quads/atv in the winter with my uncle. He was hauling a big trailer with a razor and our gear. We had the adults in one trailer and the kids sleeping in the other. I left my thrunite t10 on low tailstanding as a nightlight for two nights. We stayed late the last day and when we...

    Flashlight stops bullet, anyone know what kind of flashlight this is?

    That is why you carry solid SS or Ti lights. If I was going to carry something with the intention to stop bullets it would be an ar500 plate.

    My Son's new book light

    Nice to see energizer is still making decent lights. They seem to be a rare mfg that markets warm / neutral LED flashlights to b&m stores.

    What is the best headlamp for running?

    I get your point, I ran and hiked a lot in a small wilderness area in California and at one point I stepped on a large rattle snake. I learned to keep my eyes on the ground nearby and only look at a distance for short times. Maybe for running a floody light for just a few feet and a more...

    What is the best headlamp for running?

    How fast are you running to need 300 lumens? I suppose if you don't bother looking at the ground tripping is a concern. IME >50 lumens of somwhat directed light is plenty, even less if it is high CRI.
