    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Yeah, I suspect all that would have effectively happened would be I ask the cashiers and staff what to do with my basket full of stuff. Probably would have been able to compare the color rendition of my lights while putting back the eggplant :laughing:.

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    So I learned today: Grocery shopping, shop early, shop often. I was on my way back from some other random errands that really didn't need doing, into my nearby grocery store. I noticed the parking lot was a flurry, but I expected as much on a weekend at this time. As I was walking up to the...

    Received the worst insult since becoming a flashaholic

    Someone with an IS needs to measure an S3.

    Do you make a name for your flashlight just as what you did to your pet?

    I name many of my other things like electronics, bikes, or cars, but I haven't gotten to my flashlights.

    What lights do you have charged up and ready to go for Hurrican Sandy?

    I got an email from multiple utilities this week. I laughed a little bit when they said to make sure you have a working flashlight in the house, and extra batteries.

    Flashlight shop in Bangkok downtown?

    Be careful of what you pick up there. Bangkok is a great smorgasborg of shopping, but don't expect any quality. I saw knock offs of knock offs on the street, and maybe Ultrafire quality stuff inside the big malls. Thankfully you probably won't pay more than a few bucks for anything.

    Count your lumens

    You people are making spreadsheets arn't you? :nana: A pitiful 2320 here. Although another 1600 in the LED lightbulbs in this room. As for batteries, are we counting stockpiles of primaries (how many Wh in a pallet of CR123s?) or rechargeables?

    Air travel barometric stress & SF

    I don't think I've ever heard anything from the TSA that was either useful or true. The pressure might tickle our lights a little. Having taken a variety of lights hiking in at high altitudes, all my lights have been fine. Nothing more than a Nalgene hissing at me after hiking from 4000 to 8000...

    I hate all all of you

    I just had a realization. When I get engaged, I'm going to have to explain that I have no 401k, no savings, and enough liquid assets to buy me a $1 burger. I might have a cover story about how I donated it all to monks that take care of wild animals. In reality, it would because I had bought...

    Long lasting emergency flashlight/battery combination?

    I would strongly lean toward lithium primaries if you are looking for long term storage with little use, and it would help with all 4 of your goals. This environment would seems like a waste of rechargeables.

    My toddler is afraid of the dark...

    Seconded. I stepped into this thread and thought, get the kid an HDS.

    So...I'm not the only one that prefers a flashlight over a pocket knife after all.

    Kershaw makes some very good products, I was very tempted to get one the other day. For the last 4 years, I was only carrying a flashlight of some sort as my larger EDCs. I've got the nice assortment of keytools, fauxtons, and USB keys on my keychain. But recently I've decided to add a CRKT...

    The led invaision is here and getting stronger every day!

    I'm going to miss having some of the brightest lights around though.

    How many "X"Fire FL Brands are there?

    Unauthorized breeding going on

    Hah! I love this quote. Flashlights are like bunnies, only they eat money before multiplying.

    Blinking, strobe, and SOS modes, have they ever been useful to anyone?

    Strobe is pretty much useless to me except for the occasional rave party. Beacon I actually find decently useful. A .5hz beacon is great for letting others know where you are, and consumes much less power than a strobe, meaning I can leave it somewhere (say, at the split to our camp from a...

    How long before the first drop & ding?

    I've chucked a G2 with a M60 inside across half a football field onto concrete shortly after I got all the parts. I wanted to make sure this was my bomb proof light.

    Do Flashlights Scare Coyotes?

    I've been attacked by two dogs that just were not fond of me for some reason. Both times I was minding my own business. Thankfully the first time the owner got it back in time, but the second time I had to give the thing a boot to the face. I'd imagine coyotes to be more fierce IF they were to...

    Comprehensive Grease and Lube Thread

    Question, What's the lube you want to use if you want the most water resistance, and to add viscosity to a twisty joint to lock it down? For example, on a quark, I want to lock up the tailcap more than the bezel joint.

    The Versatile F04 Diffuser: what lights will it fit?

    I use it on my 120P all the time. I just flick it off before I remove it from my pocket when I want more throw. The floody low is much nicer than the default beam on low.
