    Reliable flashlight brands

    Hi @Vemice Thanks for your suggestion. I think twisties may be one of the types to less failures as I have just realised those that failed are all electronic clickies. Do you know what runtimes and lumens I can expect from El Capitan? I can't seem to find a straight answer to this. JJ

    Reliable flashlight brands

    I had in the past tried to get a Tiara A1 Pro locally but they are always out of stock. Are Armytek's built reliable? JJ

    Reliable flashlight brands

    Hi all, I have a few flashlights failing me recently after drops due to my little boy becoming more active around the house. Most of these flashlights were advertised as 1m drop proof. So this really sets me thinking which are the really reliable quality builts to have especially for...

    What's the most unusual/stupidest/weirdest thing you've done with your flashlight?

    Re: What's the craziest thing you've done with a flashlight? Recently been using my flashlights to peek into my baby's diapers to check for surprises. Wifey did the same and stopped complaining about my many flashlights lying all around the house. :laughing:

    Something weird happened today

    I have always been a lover of smallish sized pocket EDCs. Wee being my smallest, and even D10 took a back seat as being too big. Today, I had to show a client a shop which I did not have key access to, hence had to peep in through its glass door, most of it blocked by solid metal shutters. I...

    Almost burnt down my house

    I was thinking my ITP A3's contact was quite dirty and sprayed some contact cleaner into it to clean it. Turned out I sprayed too much into it. Didn't wait for it to dry completely and popped in my RCR123. Left it facing down on my wooden table. After some time, I prepared to go to bed. Since...

    What was your first loved flashlight?

    I had one of these! Managed to get mine replaced (I got to keep the original) even after 10 years due to the lifetime warranty!

    Received the worst insult since becoming a flashaholic

    OK. So I finally decided and got myself a Ti D25a clicky (neutral white of course). It's XP-G R4. Now I cant decide to run it with an eneloop or 14500. With 14500, I have an insane high but not low. Life is full of contradictions :thinking:

    How to cleaning flashlight lens?

    Yes Bullzeyebill, Thats exactly what happened. I took the lens off the head but it would not clear up no matter how I scrubbed. Not sure why though.

    How to cleaning flashlight lens?

    I left a nitecore D10 in the bathroom for years, the lens turned blurry. I thought it was just dirt, took it apart and tried cleaning it but it was still blurry. Tried hot water, soap, glass cleaner but no improvement. How do I clean it?

    Received the worst insult since becoming a flashaholic

    So I was showing a property to a client and there was no electricity in the house. She activated the 'flashlight' of her Galaxy S3 and I of course whipped out my EDC which was a 47's Mini AA neutral put to high mode. She said no need, her 'flashlight' was brighter...

    True 24 x 7 EDC

    I neck carried a Lummi Wee 24x7 around my necklace, until recently the necklace broke. I was wondering how many of you EDC your flashlight 24x7? .. I mean even when you shower, sleep, step out of house for a brief few seconds, etc. Recently, I stopped EDCing 24 x 7 while searching for a...

    Help me understand this -> flood or throw?

    Under a scenario where you want to blind or deter someone who is maybe 10 metres or more away from you, which will be a better light (assuming every spec is same and light is 500 lumens pure white), flood or throw? And why? :)
