    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    I placed a 1D light ($3 type) on top of a ceiling tile so we could find the spot later, while climbing around in the building interstitial (dark) space. those lights can run for 3 days, so was not concerned about runtime.

    6V "Lantern" Battery Lights - History? Anything good?

    I added a few of these lights (LED) after buying some rechargeable 6V batteries on clearance. has anyone done runtime tests, either with original LED or with a dorcy 40 lumen drop-in?

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    bought some tektite LED bulbs for converting old flashlights to LED. previously had used Dorcy brand. so far, no problems with either.

    Thanks for the tip. I tried one out with a partly depleted AA. It ran all night long and had more runtime left. iirc, dollar tree has AA alkalines at 3 for $1. So, for less than $5 you could get three lights and three batteries. (cheap power outage kit)

    Anyone into spinning tops?

    not quite a "top". but I saw wool spinning being done last weekend, and one of the techniques used something that reminded me of a top. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSuTiO9QHOE
