    Flashlights Are Basically Toys

    Flashlights Are Basically Toys ... until you do not have a working one during a blackout. I had to feel my way up 7 flights of stairs during the big blackout of 2003 when the battery in my Solitaire died. That is why my 90 lumen AA/AAA workhorses are more valuable than my 500+ lumen SSC-P7/XM-L...

    EDC - How many and how do you carry them?

    A Quark MiNi AA (Mini MA) loose in my pocket as my goto EDC. A UK 2AAA eLED (2AAA side by side) on my primary keychain. A Millermodded Arc AAA on my backup keychain. I have a Preon 2 in a pen slot in my bag. But I do not always carry my bag.

    I Just Don't Get It. . .

    Ask him what weapon light he has mounted on his AR. Then suggest he get the best - a Surefire X400® Ultra. Then casually mention your 'expensive' flashlights are a lot less than the $595.00 - $740.00 a Surefire X400® Ultra costs.

    When did you need a flashlight but not have one?

    Blackout in 2003 ~2:30. By 3:00 it became obvious it was a big one. It extended to Chicago in the west and New York to the south. My ride decided to go home early from work. Went up the first stairs in the lobby to the 2nd floor. Entered the corridor to get to the fire escape stairs. The battery...

    If You Had $100....

    You need at least 2 lights (one as a backup). If you already own a light then one light. If you do not already own a light then 2.

    Obsolescence in flashlights

    Flashlights have come a long way since I first came across CPF in 2003. Many of my older flashlights are just sitting around not being used. I had a number of 2AA side by side or 9V incan flashlights as an EDC. I breathed a sigh of relief when I came across the Maglite Solitaire. Then the...

    Questions on TerraLux TCS-1

    Beggars can't be choosers. You buy what you can NOW. Or you will have none. All the old switches do not work with the new LED maglites, so they are all discontinued to avoid the very expensive returns problem. It is a simple fix at the manufacturing level but with the modding of maglites in...

    whats on your lights to buy list?

    NONE! I live downtown. There is always some light pollution. After the big blackout of 2003 I found CPF. I got sticker shock from the Arc AAA, Ended up with the Dorcy AAA 4 lumens. The Fenix L1P at 29 lumens was a godsend. I finally have enough light to see. I moved up the lumens to my 3C Mag...

    Shipping items to Canada

    There are a lot of scammers out there. To protect themselves most international shipments need signature on receipt. This usually results in courier (AND CUSTOMS BROKERAGE) charges.

    Lights for Wives, and kids... what do you guys give them?

    Make sure there is an AAA flashlight on everyone's keychain. Otherwise they won't have a light on them in an emergency (other than their cell phones). A minimag Pro (1 level for the wife) and Pro+ (2 levels for the kids) is more powerful and less cost than an incan minimag with LED drop in...
