    Extreme Cold Effects on Flashlights

    I started using only Lithium cells in the winter. AA, AAA, Cr123A, whatever it takes. I find that anything below 0C and the alkalines start to suffer. I used my G2 when I went camping last February and the temperature at night was around -15C, the light worked fine.

    My buddy had the fire department show up at his apartment building last week to deal with a stuck elevator. They had trouble opening the door with their prybars so my bud walks up to them with his own prybar and hands it to them. Once they had the door open the FD shone their torches into the...
